Your opinions can also be very very wrong and you equally know it. No need of me glorifying your ignorance, I will let it slide so I don't say much.
That is what I believe
You start the war then we will find out

As you may have noticed, we have refused to start anything again in this country, even good deeds. Because your people will always misinterpret same and try to cause trouble. It's your turn to start something, we have chosen to sit on the fence and watch.

Will we even be holding this rubbish talks again if not that Gowon decided to talk rubbish yet again. Please relax and let's slide down the abyss in peace grin

Shameless Gowon....

Only in Nigeria would a character like Gowon be impudent enough to keep talking after playing a starring role in the malady/malaise called Nigeria.

When a man at Gowon's age can lie so glibly, then you wouldnt be needing a brain surgeon to diagnose the morbidity of this geographical entity...
Is it the Igbos people alone that can says the truth about the nigeria civil war ? is only God that can cure you peoples madness.

Nawa o.

What do people expect in a war? An enemy sharing biscuit and Fanta?

War is meant to be brutal and full of sorrows. That’s why nations across the world are soliciting for peace instead of war.

Both Gowon and Chiamanda don kolomental.

Gowon is lying through his teeth. He does not want to tell Nigerians the truth. Ojukwu and Gowon signed an Agreement in Aburi that restructured Nigeria into a confederation of 4 Regions

The North hated that agreement because it denied them the opportunity to dominate the other 3 Regions that were in the South

So Gowon broke the agreement he signed by abolishing the 4 Regions and creating 12 states. Suddenly, the North that used to be one Region, had 6 states, while the south that was 3 Regions had only 6 states.

By breaking the Aburi agreement, Gowon left Ojukwu no other choice than to declare Biafra. It was either that or face Northern domination

The declaration of Biafra led to the war but it was Gowons breaking of the Aburi agreement that directly led to declaration of Biafra

Many people simply dont know that Ojukwu only fought to free his people from Northern domination

Yes I am a Muslim.

What do you expect in a war? Gowon should be distributing chocolates to the Biafrans?

When Ojukwu was declaring war, did he expect the federal side to be cooking salad for the Biafran soldiers?

I repeat both Gowon and Chiamanda don Kolomental finally!

Nice one been a Muslim.

Go and collect one fowl or cow from Ahmadu Bello's family or sultan of Sokoto.

Those who supports Gowon should have no reason to be against Sharia law in any state that has up to 45 Percent Muslims because those Muslims there can't be judged by common law.

They need to be judged under Islamic law ( Sharia)

We need to juxtapose all spoils of the war to achieve a viable Nation.
Don't you think so?

This is exactly what we are arguing.

Since Amanda dey kolo or is suffering from kolomental then someone is trying to twist it that war is not bread and butter which I fully agree.

All I am trying to do is simply agree with you by been more fairer to religious divides of faith in matters of justice. So as to avoid further religious war.


Is our stand not simple?

Religious war from who? Is Gowon a Muslim to start with?

The religious war or animosity only exist in your region and the North. It was on this same Nairaland that Igbos are roasting BBC Igbo when they mistakenly greeted the Muslims Igbos happy Eid on their Facebook Page.

How you chose to insert religion to this issue of discourse beats my imagination coz it shows religious bigotry is ingrained in your DNA.

I never expected Gowon to still respond the way he's responding and since he persists, I'll simply conclude that whatever happened then was deliberately orchestrated by him. I can clearly see his bitterness at Ojukwu and I ask for what crime exactly? You Gowon said you tried to unite the country after the war by mentioning the little reconstructions you did. I then ask why we still had issues of abandoned properties. What about the demotions of government workers in the civil service plus the Awo 20pounds policy? What about the Asaba massacre? You said the federal Army prosecuted the war in a disciplined manner yet Benjamin Adekunle is well remembered for shooting anything that moves. How long did he commmand his troops? Imagine the innocent lives he must have wasted while at it. Gowon I was thinking you perhaps was personally a good man who didn't want the war prosecuted in such a wicked manner as your soldiers did and so should have acknowledged the truth about their brutality from the victims of the war but your blatant denial shows your culpability. I can't make excuses for you anymore. You are a very wicked old man. My people are justified for their continuous insistence on Biafra. Shame on you Gowon.

Gowon appears to be the biggest liar of the year. Was he everywhere during the war? Why does he believe only his own account of the war is correct? The same lies TVC is championing believing that every account of the war from Igbo land is false. Why are people who are not victims of war claiming to know more than the victims? Was Gowon at the forefront all the time, taking records of the casualties or only given reports by his soldiers? More haunting stories of the war will soon emerge. Those afraid of the truth shall be hurt. I think Gowon is enjoying the eevil forest called Nigeria? He should be regretting over the killings of his people occasioned by the fulanis. Can Gowon and TY Danjuma save Plateau and Taraba states today? Everyday he uses his dead relatives to appease the evill deity called Nigeria.

Gowon I might respect u, but the truth remains the truth.

An evidence of the Nigerian army's brutality was seen in Asaba, when the army decimated a huge population of unarmed Asaba male citizens for there Igboness and the thought that they were supporting the Biafrans
