prizlezzlalasky:
Hmmm Gowon how about the one written by a foreigner "Frederick Forsyth" THE BIAFRAN BUSH BOY...... Will You also call it lies?

MelesZenawi:



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)

MelesZenawi:




Neither is he a Christian.

Blakjewelry:
which history book do you use as a guideline and they are in our school curriculum?

Surveyoruzoma:
That is why the stopped teaching history in our various school so that people will not know the evil the commit Biafra is coming very soon

nijabazaar:
F.uck U Gowon!

Whatever Chimamanda said in that book is even a watered down version of what my Parents and Granny told me...

What of Frederick Forsyth? He wrote about the Biafran war. He is an outsider. And he captured the brutality of the Nigeri8 army outrightly. Why did Steve jobs turn Atheist? WAS IT NOT ON ACCOUNT OF THE TELEVISED ATROCITIES SHOWN When the war was raging?

Gowon infact needs the Hague. Let him not use born again to cover his sins

0monnak0da:

All stories need to be heard for balance and equity,
The Benin Story, The Lagos Story the Port Harcourt Story The Urhobo story
The January 15 Story

All stories matter

valentineuwakwe:
Nigeria forces especially the air force that attack and bomb civilians. ....markets, schools and Red cross centres were bombed.....even foot soldiers kill any living animals and cut down any standing trees. .make Gowon forget this matter ooo

NimrodEndOfDays:
so he has said his. so what is yor own story?

Donald95:


You are wrong. It is that lying pig Gowon that doesn't have sense

Perkins2018:


You brought religion into a discussion that has nothing to do with religion. Is Gowon not a Christian?

Yes let sharia be implemented across south west so you igbos will leave our land because you hate sharia. Are you not dying to stay in Kano and Borno despite sharia in place?

I wonder how a whole tribe could be mad at the same time.

Vortex369:
This Gowon is not even ashamed.

You led a war and killed millions then ban the history of the war in schools. As old as you are, you have not written the history of the war, but someone who gathered pieces of data and tell the story from the angles as relayed is 'distorted' history.

Grandfather wey no dey shame.

Oshigun:


You Igbos will be judged by God for your inglorious take on issues to the extent the finest education , even after many decades, cannot assist you in seeing the culpability of your grandparents and their ignominious roles in the advent of the brutal civil war all sides suffered over. So Nigeria just decided to wage war against Igbos and kill them while Igbos were innocent victims entirely blameless over the civil war? Let me ask you Igbos, especially emotional intellectuals like Chinamanda, why the man who took you to war accepted to be pardoned by Nigeria and even ran for office of the same nation he swore Igbos must sever links with. Yet you lot will never blame Ojukwu or the many vainglorious cowards who led your grandparents to their death.

It is the Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani misguided Igbos like Chinamanda must keep calling 'genocidaires' . Newsflash for Igbos. Chinamanda and co are wasting their time. Young Yorubas don't care and we don't feel we did anything wrong. Igbos should develop more emotional maturity or keep hating. Makes no difference in this day and age.

It is very simple. You hate Yorubas/Hausa and Fulani then stay away from them. Proclaiming to hate them daily and fingering them as the cause of all your woes is hypocritical and unprincipled in so far as you Igbos cannot remain in your corner and stay away from them.

0monnak0da:

It is not about me

MelesZenawi:


Maybe that's why herdsmen are displacing his people. Maybe it is still part of the madness.

BanevsJoker:

Have you forgotten Benjamin Adekunle's infamous quote. Gowon dey fear Hague.

nijabazaar:


Perhaps it will correct a whole lotta wrongs in this country.

Igbos need out. They don't wanna stay put in Nigeria again

Perkins2018:


When did he ban history in schools? Any link to back up your assertion?

Oshigun:


So your Parents and Granny could not have lied? It is the Parents and Grannies of those who fought on the side of Nigeria (like Hausa/Falani/Yoruba et al) who lied ba? We forget you Igbos are victims and never liars or in the wrong. In fact you don't even know how to lie hence we must assume it is not Igbos who claimed Buhari is dead and replaced by Jubril or that PMB is a "Paedophile" who married Aisha at 9.

It is a disgrace when the likes of Chinamanda show the same enslavement to emotions, sentiments, persecution complex ,constant noise of 'victimisation' plus love of lies and propaganda that most Igbos, whatever they achieve in life, never seem to be able to put behind them. Call Gowon what you like but know that others don't see things how you do and never will.

Others understand that a call to serve your nation is one only a coward or traitor will disobey. You can therefore continue your blind hatred of Nigerians like Awolowo, Adekunle, Buhari, Gowon and many others you people , since the war, indoctrinating your children, from one generation to the next, to hate. That it continues to fly above the head of many Igbos some Nigerians were simply acting in the best interest of their nation against a force that had decided to make itself an enemy of Nigeria shows how unreasonable Igbos, to include Chinamanda, are.

You Igbos chose to go to war and when you were not handed flowers and chocolate it is to then begin hating others relentlessly since the civil you myopically and self-destructively committed yourselves to.

Davash222:
General Gowon, with all due respect Sir, go and sit down!

Chimamanda wasn't born during the war doesn't mean she can't tell what happened then. The atrocities you and your cohorts committed then is evergreen in our memories. We will pass it down to our children. It's in soft and hard copies.

You didn't prosecute the war as though you were fighting your enemies, yet you killed over 3 Million innocent people.

@ bolded..........abi o jare!!!

They rain curses on other groups in the country whilst at the same wishing all manner of calamities will befall them but parodoxically, they would rather die than vacate their enemies' land


As per their collective state of cognitive dissonance, that I reckon , must be a great contender for the "9th wonder of the world".
