What does it matter, for me to congratulate a true patriot.
An elder stateman that fought to keep the unity of this country.
His tenure remain one of the best in Nigeria.

Do I have to belong to a particular tribe to know and appreciate this? Youngman answer me.

Exmilitant:
Get your facts right, Gowon isn't a war criminal. Blame, col. Adekunle. Muritala. Shuwa. Obasanjo. Buhari. Ibb. Yar'adua and Ojukwu and Achuzia and others for the massacre of your people.

PRESIDENT BUHARI SALUTES GENERAL GOWON AT 86, DESCRIBES HIM AS A GALLANT PATRIOT

President Muhammadu Buhari has described former military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon as "a gallant patriot whose commitment to national unity is beyond comparison in the annals of our chequered history."

In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday to mark the occasion of his 86th birthday anniversary, President Buhari remarked that "the role General Yakubu Gowon played in our political history and infrastructure development is etched in stone and cannot be rewritten."
Buhari said "as young military officers, many of us regarded General Gowon as our role model because of his patriotism, commitment to unity and his humility."

According to the President, "the Nigerian civil war brought out the most brilliant qualities of General Gowon as a visionary leader who put the interest of Nigeria before his own personal interest."
He noted that "the former Head of State led a very impressive national reconciliation effort at the end of the civil war in order to heal the bitter emotional and psychological wounds of the fratricidal conflict."

President Buhari added that "General Gowon is one of the fairest leaders I have ever known who has inspired so many future leaders."

"Even in the context of Africa, many leaders in the continent draw inspiration from his adroit handling of the outcome of the civil war through his policy of ‘No Victor, No Vanquished,’" he further stated.

"As he marks 86 years of age, Nigerians cannot forget General Gowon's immeasurable contributions to the unity and development of Nigeria. May God continue to bless him with more good health and the needed strength in understanding his ongoing spiritual engagements and service to humanity," the President prayed.

It matters, even though you'll like to deny.


I am a proud Igbo man, why are you ashamed to mention your tribe, does your tribesmen eat excreta? What tribe do you belong? Be proud to tell us what God created you to be, before Lugard created Nigeria.

Who closes the borders that starved the thousands of igbos to death?
If he had taken up the case of discrimination and killings of igbos in the north quickly, they would never have being a civil war.

Every war has a face
Gowon was the face of the war on the massacre of the innocent Biafrans

Please what is gallant about Gowon?

Notoorious war crime criminal ever known to man

AsiwajuNdigbo:
how old was Gowon when he became head of state?

wellmax:


Just say you are a tribal bigot.

Again what does my tribe has to do with the post.

The mistake you chest beating children of hate make is thinking that your enemy must neccesarily become my enemy.

You fought a war and lost. Your hero Ojukwu understands this and accepted the loss and amnesty. Even contested to rule Nigeria. Gowon was magnanimous to even declare no victor, no vanquish.

But you can continue with your bitterness. We know you for that. Sadly this hatred will be passed for generations.

I am a Nigerian.

Enjoy your shiit-eating business. Regards[/s]
