0monnak0da: Obasanjo has written books, same for Alabi-Isama, Ojukwu etc when will Gowon put his story in print so we can know what happened in Aburi and the war. He just goes around making all these flaky, contradictory statements that hold no water. It's been revealed that Oba Akenzua talked him out of Aburi. http://www.punchng.com/biafra-memo-akenzua-aburi/ So him saying the Aburi accord was misunderstood by both sides is just plain childish and disgraceful for a man of his age 4 Likes |

Gowon history has placed anathema on you when you said that your soldiers were disciplined, you mean they were following your orders during the Asaba massacre? |

Dude you are the one full of hate. With what you spewed here, it's not hard to see that your hatred for the ibo tribe will consume you soon. There are so many accounts of the civil war written/narrated by people from different tribes, races and walks of life and all point to the fact that the Nigeria army committed war crimes. What Gowon said is inarguably incorrect. The same people you are defending are the same people few brave ones(Fela, Sowore, etc) from your tribe went all out against. It is either you just hate the ibos or you are comfortable with being oppressed. Oshigun: 4 Likes |

Edaniels9: You are talking like a child. Only Igbos don't accept what war is and the damage it can do before they plunge headlong into it to then be playing victim. Feel free to conclude I hate Igbos. I don't care. Any objective person, bar Igbos who are hardly ever objective, will know it is the endless 'victim' noise, many decades after the civil war, that many Yorubas and intellectually balanced people hate. You Igbos don't need mollycoddling. You need the hard, uncompromising truth. That you make this asinine and decietful noise at the expense of others is condemnable. From all historical accounts, Gowon is a decent and humane man not the monster Igbos try to portray him as. Then again he is not alone here as Adekunle is an ogre , according to Igbos, rather than a valiant soldier who acquitted himself well serving his Country. Awolowo is a bloodthirsty tyrant while Buhari, that Igbos continue to hate passionately till today, need not even be mentioned. The reality for pragmatists is that each and everyone of these men were doing their best for their Nation and side in a war as it must be. Only the Igbos cannot understand this. I notice the betrayal of Ojukwu, when he ran for Nigerian office after having a direct impact in the death of millions, is not discussed much by Igbos who prefer to regale their kids and generations unborn with the 'atrocities' of Buhari, Gowon, Adekunle, Awolowo et al while little is said about the many vainglorious Igbo war leaders who led Igbos senselessly to their death. Kanu is doing same today as proof Igbos never learn. When Python dances it is that part of of the narrative alone Igbos will remember and not the nuisance and security threat Kanu constituted himself into that no sane nation in the world will accept. Biafra secret service? Can America or the UK accept that without smashing Kanu and IPOB to dust? 2 Likes |

The woman is another self-righteous tribe obsessed bigot, I remember how she cosigned achebe's tribal and bigoted rants, very unbecoming and divisive, but of course, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. They are all raised with and fed the same tribal us against them hatred, bitterness and cultural paranoia. I watched her TED talk about “The Danger of a Single Story.”, but she promotes nothing but the same single story about Nigeria that's grossly flawed, shallow, one-sided, tribal and ignorant. Education is supposed to wash away ignorance, but such is not the case with this woman, for obvious reasons of course. 2 Likes |

duncun: You don't get it. It is you Igbos other now don't 'bother' with much like the boy who cried wolf too many times. Many are tired , worldwide , i.e not even in Nigeria alone, of your attitude of seeing the speck in the eyes of others while you miss the boulder in yours. You attack Tinubu and the likes of Ganduje with such venom daily while you hypocritically ignore your Governors, who are perhaps the worst and most corrupt in Nigeria. Next minute it is to be playing victim over the war or pronouncing all your kinsmen/women innocent before they are tried in court for allegations of wrongdoing. Una persecution complex nko? Bros abeg look in the mirror if you want to see a face others don't bother with anymore and just scoff at. If you lot keep others out of your hatefest then many of them will ignore you. You cannot malign the character of others and then tell them to shut up and accept you doing such. Gowon does not have loved ones or is it Chinamanda alone that should talk and try to shout authoritatively above real players from the civil war , one the Nigerian side, like Gowon, PMB and co? I wonder why Ojukwu remains your hero till today while Gowon and Buhari are hated passionately by you lot. 1 Like |

Kestolove: Yet she is so sensible enough to sit in the company's of those that runs the world while with all your imaginary psuedo-senses you still remain faceless running amok on a faceless forum posting gibberish which you delusionaly mistake for being sensible. As for dummy gowon, I'm sure he wasn't born in 1914 when the southern and northern protectorates where amalgamated to form the current hell on earth called Nigeria yet he tells the story because it was documented so that generations yet unborn then like him and chimamanda will read and have a knowledge of what happened before their birth and it is called History. 2 Likes |

NGpatriot: This is one of my points. Hardly can you come across one objective Igbo in 50,000 even if you culled the sample group entirely from intellectuals and Professors. Their irrational outlook transcends any knowledge even the finest education can bestow on a human being. One of the biggest show of gross hypocrisy and clannish hate of others is how Igbos have never spoken with one voice to acknowledge the destructive role the egocentric megalomaniac Ojukwu played in sending many Igbos to their deaths whereas we have billions of narratives maligning Buhari, Gowon, Adekunle, Awolowo et al as inhuman war criminals. It would be helpful if Igbos know the meaning of war yet their talk, over several decades, show this is not the case. Most Igbos, contrary to what the rest of the world believe, think war is a Tea Party where they get to play ' unfairly treaetd' victims after defeat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War War is a state of armed conflict between states, governments, societies and informal paramilitary groups, such as mercenaries, insurgents and militias. I[b]t is generally characterized by extreme violence, aggression, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces[/b] 1 Like |
