Sentiment apart, do we have any past leaders without an iota of corruption. Even Sait Muritala Muhamed Returned certain perceived government / public properties.
It is high time we start asking past and present political dealer... oh leader serious questions of they managed our commonwealth while in the office.
Those guys are not living with us in Nigeria but at times they do have first-class shocking information.
If they've been doing well in the office with what we entrusted them with Nigeria will not be what it is today.

You believe without proof?? Guy, you are only reinforcing your bias.

So the guy whose country gowon took the money to is now lying right, let the British government refute his claim first. Investigations ought to have started on gowon immediately this guy made the statement, but trust Nigerian government to do nothing unless we protest it.

Charleys:
Gowon ruled for 9 years, he must have anticipated what will happen. A coup, And stock up for the rainy day.

They forget how all connected the Tugendhats are.

It's no secret Murtala and others were fed up with Gowon. He had been there for too long and corruption had crept in. He was just too comfortable being in power. It was like Shagari govt where coup was widely expected on October first 1983 and was a surprise it did not happen.

RenaissanceGuy:
Let's not be emotional about this. Yakubu Gowon was in Ethiopia attending a meeting when he was overthrown. So how did he then move half of CBN? Did he come back to Nigeria to tell the new military govt to give him half of the CBN treasury? Impossible Bring up your own "superior" logic. The guy said the man LEFT NIGERIA with half of CBN money. Actually, Gowon went to the UK FROM ETHIOPIA after he learned of his ouster. So it doesn't add up.

Why you mumu like this Why you think say na the last day he go take do the looting

UK MP for that matter

So in a nut shell you do not believe what he said right?
it is possible and doable too. just thinking out loud.

tempex88:
I don't know if true or false. But I heard the gist even before now that they used Biafran war to loot central bank. I repeat I don't know if the rumour is true or false. I was told that they thought Biafra would win the war so everyone was just trying to steal and keep offshore

Exactly my thought, people will move their loots out of the country that is war torn, reason why they moved such a massive amount of money to UK. The loot didn't happen when gowon was overthrown, it happened during the civil war and post war era that witnessed oil boom.

Na your likes the support the omission of history from Nigeria's academic curricula. See mmuumu argument, go read history of the Nigerian civil war and the aftermath. try read the 'reason' why there was a bloodless coup and the eventual overthrow of his ( Gowon's ) government.

Any igbo man that does not like Gowon needs his head checked.

Gowon did what no igbo man could ever do, Gowon will die and have peace but so many of our igbo warlords only God knows their fates

SHUT THAT TRAP YOU CALL A MOUTH, YOU THINK YOU'RE MAKING SENSE?

MODIFIED: For all of you quoting me misunderstanding my logic, it's the lawmaker who didn't use the right words. He said Yakubu 'left Nigeria with half of CBN' meaning the looting was after he was overthrown and was done at once. He should have said "Yakubu stole half of the CBN while he was the head of state".

So he didn't visit UK at all in all his 9 yrs as head of state ?

What made u think the looting was on his last day in office ?

U are part of the problem in Nigeria

joseph1832:
if his logic is poor bring your own superior logic let's read. Don't just say someone's logic is poor without proving it. Na wa.

My logic is that, people will move their loots out of the country that is war torn, reason why they moved such a massive amount of money to UK. The loot didn't happen when gowon was overthrown, it happened way back during the civil war and post war era that witnessed oil boom.

It's better to reserve judgement until a thorough investigation proves his accusation than to just come out and outrightly say you agree with him. That means you will believe anything he says just because it's coming from him, even though he has no single proof to back it up. You are just reinforcing your longheld bias.

This MP was barely two years old when Gowon was ousted. How come he knew Gowon stole half of CBN as at that time or probably his dad sat him down and told him about it? He doesn't know what he saying!

I'm not your stupld father! I know that's the idlot you were thinking about when you made your comment! I understand!
dwib!

And do you think your government is ready to let an independent and unbiased body investigate gowon?

Na wa oh..

I don't think you grew up with one,hence your lack of manners.Your mum,even though she's a cheap village slut, should have used contraceptives to avoid this calamity.

this MP guy has a vast intelligence knowledge, he has head top positions in the military and social world. the guy is in possession of some facts and information.
let gowon sue him to court and more revelations will be blown into the air.

Coldie:
For what?

No reasonable igbo man will support restructuring

Ok, you are Igbo? you want Biafra?

FuckThaMod:
These our useless leaders and their zombies go wail tire.
Una damage control go fail, Nigerian eyes are opening day by day.

Gowon is nothing but a greedy criminal in an angel's mask



And what does this have to do with igbos? Them use igbos swear for una life?

Don't mind them,... with their kpomo faces.

pacespot:

Everybody should be innocent until proven guilty, else we all stand the risk of becoming victims of jungle justice. That's how many have been unjustly killed via jungle and mob justice because someone shouted 'thief thief', they just throw tire on the person's neck and burn them up, all because a mob of self-righteous people accused them of stealing without concrete proof. Remember the Aluu 4 that were killed in similar fashion in Rivers state some years back? God forbid you find yourself accused wrongly without proof and people just start calling you names.

He is not lying... No Nigerian officials can be trusted.... Either in the past or at present, they are all bloody corrupt minded leader..

Okuda:

I don't want biafra

brownemmanuel43:
Watch out as some hungry fuckers will support Gowon. What a sane person should be talking about is evidence. If the MP has evidence let him bring it out, cus naija stealing and looting did not start today, the whole looting started even before the fucking so called independence

Nigerian politicians have been looting before the word "Looting" was formed

Coldie:
I don't want biafra

ar you Igbo?

felixzo1:
he is not a Nigerian politician, I believe he has his facts before making his statement,corruption did not start in Nigeria today ,politicians have become more aggressive with their stealing.

You believe him automatically without evidence because you're a colonised dunce with foam where your brain ought to be.

Useless, ignorant and dumb waste of space with a donkey's IQ.

Okuda:
ar you Igbo?

Yes
