Gowon was removed from power in a coup while he was in Uganda. What time did he have to loot half of the central bank and come to London after his coup? Why didnt the government of Muritala request the funds transferred to London. There is no way that money that huge will leave the shores of Nigeria and not be noticed by the succeeding government. Also, he came back to Nigeria and nothing was done about it.
I am not defending nobody. This UK parliament man was probably a child when this thing happened. We need strong proof to verify this actually happened. Verbal assertions is not enough. We were sure of what Obasanjo did. We had proof of what Abacha did. So let the proofs come out.

Na so una go dey deny until they open una can of worm. He must have stolen those money before been overthrown. He knows is days are numbered on that seat looking at what happened arround africa politics back then .leaders of those period do stole thier country dry.

Don't be so perssimistic, NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN .....I used to tell people ,a bad situation cannot continue forever ,the situation will change one day afterall those who want to continue milking the country dry won't live forever .

You're right.

IT WAS NEVER GREAT

But how come successive governments of Muritala Muhammed,Olusegun Obasanjo,Muhammadu Buhari,IBB,Sani Abacha,Abudsallam Abubakar,Olusegun Obasanjo Sultan Sokoto,Politicians,old and current CBN governors,follow swept this important matter under the carpet!?
President Buhari and NASS should order commence a high powered probe on this matter.

Ojukwu's actions to leave the contraption has been finally vindicated.

Neddstark:


I am not defending any politician. They are the cause of Nigeria's problem. But however, I am of the opinion that every allegation should be backed up with proof/facts.

If it's coming from UK then it's true because they obviously help him out.
See they did not force gowon to loot his country but they knew such amount of money will be good for their economy, so they will help him out.

We love to believe the worst in people. In those days, we have corruption and was rather mild compared to what we have today.

You don't even need to be corrupt to make money. Many you halo as Head of State will give you largesse and that's the truth.

He also came back from exile broke. More importantly, no one is asking for his head on a plate if he was as corrupt as alleged.

See, under Gowon, Nigeria made a hell of money from oil. In fact, Nigeria has never made, gotten that kind of money she made under Gowon. If you need prove, go do your research. Or also believe IBB didn't steal and Abdulsalam and the rest didn't steal.

True!

This is one of the reasons why Gowon keep shifting the power transition then.

The "black gold money" was just like money ritual.

Even Gowon tried coming back to power, after Muritala's death.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Gowon-Took 50% of the Central Bank
IBB- Took 60% of the Central Bank
Abacha- Took 70% of the Central Bank
Abdusalami: Took 90% of the Central Bank and left OBJ with nothing in the coffers.
Buhari- I wonder how much Buhari has taken

Buhari was before Babangida.
Please reorder your list.
Thanks boss.

. Requesting for proof sound like you are making Gowon a saint .

BafanaBafana:

Try to equip yourself with knowledge of people, history and political events. Read biographies of past leaders, read investigative historical materials. Only then will you be able to differentiate facts from fallacies and identify lies when you see them.

You are not even close to the reader that I am... So, don't even go there!!!

Who wrote those things??! God or angels??!...

Leave matter!!! I stand by my statements... If we have had honest and transparent leaders, even for just 4 years, the transformation of this nation especially her economy will not only be amazing but reverberate for decades.

The nation has declined economically since 1960, and you all are here trying to make cases for statesmen you adore, while the truth stares you right in the eye.

Except if he had a personal foreign account where he was siphoning money into.

Why do you guys reason like this na?

So, Abacha died while in office, when did he move the money they are still returning to Nigeria since he died in Office?

Guy forget that thing! He stole in monumental proportion that the MP cannot but quantify that he must have stolen the whole treasury!!! That Revolution is coming if this country has to make sense!!!

Yes! remember the 10 years of Nigeria Independent by Sam Amuka Kpemu aka Sad Sam the then editor of Nigerian Sunday Times.
See: Ten years of Independent ; "Oil flowed blood flowed the men of the people chop until the redeemer of the people came but ALAS! we just exchanged monkey for baboons"; and that was how Gowon sacked and removed Sad Sam from The Nigeria Daily Times Newspaper. See the Sunday Times: second week of October 1970 .

ednut1:
Gowon was overthrown while at AU meeting. how did he then move the money to London we all know he stole but can this man's account be accurate. The west are enablers of corruptions but still come out latter to talk shit lmao

Figure of speech.
Have you heard it before?

The west will enable corruption since the owners of the money are too clannish, tribal and myopic to bother.

IBB looted we know. Abdulsalam did too but was overlooked by Obasanjo then because he gave way to democracy. There are records of that. See I did not say Gowon was a saint. I know he has big money for him to be part of IGI and some big companies in Nigeria. My point is half the central bank is a very strong allegation. There may need to be some proof for this.

ibietela2:


And he is working freely

That figure was exaggerated. Nigeria civil war death toll shouldn't be more than 500,000.

Just the way people will come and say Nigeria is 200 million population, without conducting genuine census, but if you use other indices you see that Nigeria is not up to 160 million people.

You and niara Marley need medical checkup. Because some people stole means everyone is a criminal

The real Money Heist is made in Nigeria.

Made in Nigeria by Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Obasanjo, Shagari, Buhari, Babangida, Shonekan, Abacha & co

fredylee:
Gowon left to the UK from Uganda, directly after his overthrow. Does it mean that he had "the money" with him while at the OAU summit in Kampala? Was he then aware his govt was going to be toppled ahead of the summit? Did he have access to the CBN after his overthrow? Clarifications needed.

Abacha died while in office. Did he steal all the monies after his death? Was he buried with billions of dollars in his coffin so he can deposit it in foreign banks from hell? Did he know he was going to die?

You don’t deserve clarifications.

Enough of this thrash theory. There is enough allocation for every region to develop themselves. Is it kano state govt that stops Ekiti state or abia state from developing their state?

Never4getU:
Once they are handed seal of authority, the main attention is the treasury and every germaine obligation becomes needless. This is why no matter who gets to be the president, will authomatically change over night cos they would have secure a centuries assurances of generations unborn by stealing both present and future of the country.

Again I'm vindicated, Nigeria can never be a great nation, instead those who want to continue to milk it won't stop using all their stolen resources to fight to keep it in shambles. People like Dangote who have succeeded in monopolises the country's productions.

I will say it again, we are too religious, ethnic bigotry and tribal sentiments to continue to pretend that we can live as one indivisibility. Hausa/Fulani, have a grand plan and they won't stop until it is materialize. The main aims, is to occupy the entire south thereby resisting possible disintegration of the country.

Southerners should wake up from her slumber!!!

AfroKnight:


Libya would have remained under the thumb of Gaddafi. No single man is anointed to have all it takes to rule a country all of his adult life. It is impossible that he is the only one suited to rule. That is dictatorship.

During the conflict, there was a time Gaddafi indicated that they will do elections and transform the country into a democracy. NATO rejected, the rebels knowing they have foreign backing rejected. Now here is Libya, a failed state with 3 different governments. Some regions in Libya are controlled by Warlords. As we speak, there is a movement in Sirte to bring back the previous Green Flag under Gaddafi. I am not against a revolution. But a bloody one is just going to be an opportunity for bloodbath in Africa. Imagine if Mandela wanted a bloody revolution you thing SA would be any better?

You are sounding like you know how much our CBN then worth. Do you know that OBJ inherited a little less than two billion in Nigeria reserve? What if Nigeria CBN then was worth 2b and this guy (Gowon) stole 1b? The way Abdulsalam emptied Nigeria CBN and left nothing for OBJ, we could as well say Abdulsalam stole Nigeria CBN.

rossniti:


WHAT ABOUT THE TRILLIONS THE BRITISH STOLE FROM 1897 TO 1960?

WHY WAS NIGERIA STILL AN ''UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRY'' WITH NO POWER STATIONS, UNIVERSITIES, OR EXPRESSWAYS, AND AN ILLITERACY RATE OF 95% IN 1960 AT INDEPENDENCE, AFTER 70 YEARS OF UNINTERRUPTED BRITISH RULE?

WHAT DID THE BRITISH DO WITH THE TRILLIONS THEY MADE FROM EXPORTING OUR NATURAL RESOURCES?

WHO ARE THEY TO TALK ABOUT NIGERIAN CORRUPTION WHEN THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL THIEVES AND LOOTERS WHO HAVE STILL NOT RETURNED A PENNY THEY STOLE?

The way you people think self. So if uk stole from us we are suppose to be stealing from ourselves ..

Hypocrites!

Seriously? Gowon took the money to the UK more than 50 years ago and the morons are just revealing that now?

This idiot is unwittingly indicting the UK and UK banks as accessories to criminality. That the UK is the devil himself!

But we know better, Gowon did NOT steal and could not have stolen any money given the circumstances of his ouster from government and the fact that the Federal Military Government at the time he was a student in the university in the UK paid for his boarding and school fees after a lot of pressure.

This mumu needs to give us more proof of this imaginary pilfering by Gowon; Where and when was the money stolen? Before the OAU meeting in Ethiopia or after? Where did he warehouse the money? In a bank? Which bank? His University dormitory? Under his bed?

Gowon had only one house until the government of Plateau State provided him a befitting one.

Hypocrisy of the highest order, all the way from Westminster!

Why did Ghaddafi wait till there were rebels before offering democracy?

Indeed if Ghaddafi had started some form of democratic transition things could have changed peacefully. He might have even gotten concessions for himself like Pinochet in Chile.

Ghaddafi was the cause of his own problems. Same as Mobutu.
