Happy Birthday to him but my question is that has he ever advised Buhari because right now, the Nigeria they fought for as Soldiers is ready to collapse if Buhari doesn't do the right thing. #EndSARS

Re: Yakubu Gowon Celebrates His 86th Birthday Today by Ategberoson(m):
in a sane society, this clown and Ojukwu would have been forced to pay for their sins of wasting millions of both military and civilians in something they can address with diplomatic reconciliation


these useless fools killed people and still became friends later but thousands of innocent kids were forced to die cheaply

Happy birthday Sir. The best leader Nigeria ever had! He was neither a tribalized nor a religious bigot leader
But Awolowo influenced him.

Gowon was the best we had but he made his own mistakes too

GeneralPula:
The history was messed up & filled with lies..

We can’t even tell who was good/bad back then..

Pukes angry
I have become confused myself

I ask myself what has Gowon gain from the war that led to the the death of three million children (something that still makes me hate the Hausa Fulani till today even when I am trying not to be tribalistic)

What made Ojukwu and the Igbos dislike Yoruba even when they supported us in the war

And why is it that those countries that supported Nigeria are still doing it till date except Isreal even when they know the country has failed

I try hard not to say bad things about this guys ....they are never my hero,

Starting from Awolowo, azikwe or Ahmadu bello or balewa..

They are partly the reason we are where we are.

He is not a hero abeg.He had disregarded the agreement made during peace talk with Ojukwu in Ghana.Ojukwu made demands touching on so many things affecting us till date.He is one of the major problem....he didn't stop nepotism and failed to give us true federalism which would have solved the arrays of issues that entrenched Nigeria in her underdeveloped state

A restructured Nigeria should be that special birthday gift to General Gowon (rtd )

Nigeria can not continue just this way.

There is too much oppression in Nigeria as at today both at the higher level and the lower level of society.

YAKUBU Gowon, one of the clueless idiots who allowed the white men to destroy Nigeria’s future. Stupid leaders.
Re: Yakubu Gowon Celebrates His 86th Birthday Today by Rajosh(m): 9:44am On Oct 19, 2020
"To keep Nigeria one, is a task that must be fulfilled".
I wish he didn't allow that statement to deceive him.
I wish he allowed Nigeria to disintegrate then.

The best of a leader in a given situation might be the worst of a leader to sections of a country in a given society. Wars are fought due to conflicts that the aggrieved parties felt cheated. History if not properly informed could be distorted and the truth hidden which could formed a different opinion.
Hitler was still regarded by some section of Germany as a hero and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Actions produced reactions. What matters most is acknowledgement that some wrongs have been committed and that two wrongs never make a right.
At times it's necessary to fight but then what brought the fight. That's the Crux of the matter. Children born in 1966 rely heavily in history as told by their parents or matured minds then. Reactions depend very much on the accuracy of the story
