He's one of the most honest and responsible elder statesman in Nigeria.

The member of the parliament in UK who said he stole half of CBN is just chasing clout and relevancy in the Nigerian space and only the ipob people will give him that.

have you asked your sense why he mentioned Gowon of all people? How old were you when he ruled Nigeria? Did he actually move to UK?

tot:
Foolish Nigerians will soon come and defend their politicians - yet 1960 till date, very little development - bad roads, bad healthcare, falling standards.
Hungry people aka BMC defending those that have fed fat on their commonwealth. Senselessness at its peak.

Same way Cameron the former Prime Minister referred to Nigerians as fantastically corrupt. You think they make such statements for talking sake? These guys know the depth of corruption in Nigeria even more than Nigerians.

stop holding out, both the wailers and bmc are nothing but a bunch of nuisance that come online to defend nonsense.
the pdp goons and the apc scrub are nothing but a problem to nation.

Have you also used your brain on why he mentioned "So it is said"

Funny old man.

Video clips abound where this man shot and killed biafra men in cold blood.

That MP should be talking about Gowon's day in court.

Who gives a hoot about pdp or apc?

The statement was sweeping, lacking in essential facts and highly irresponsible of the lawmaker.


The idiot was not even sure of his facts, he qualified his statement with "it is said"

No responsible person -except Nigerian born and bread buffoons on Nairaland- will run with a such sweeping statement premised with such words without discernment.

The greatest leader Nigeria ever had in its annals was General Gowon.

Kiss the truth and be set free!

rossniti:
Donkey, does it occur to you that they could falsify evidence against him if he sues, just to keep themselves in the right?

How hard can it be to claim such and such billions passed through his account to the Cayman Islands or something?

No use una brain. It's there for decoration.

Buffoon!

It's a known fact that African leaders steal with reckless abandon when they're in power.

Gowon is no saint

A British MP would never dared make such a damning accusation in public if he wasn't privy to some privileged information

TimeManager:
Has the British Government returned to us what they looted from us?
I expect the British Government to prove the allegation and send back to us a large chunk of his half the CBN loot as 'Gowon Loot', until that is done, they should stuff their hypocrisy up their ass.

kiss the truth!

Send back to the same corrupt leaders?

Keep on defending while your country looks like shithole. don't plan for the future,

For this man to said that he must have solid proof . Believe me the Queen right now will tell him to shut up .

LLSAINT:
Really, so where is the wealth. Mention his establishment if not FG assisted

there was a particular oil well I was told he owned in akwa ibom,they were making plans to sell it this year.

They all shared Nigeria's wealth within themselves in that era...

seunmsg:
Parliamentarians cannot be sued for whatever they say inside the parliament. Tell the MP to repeat the allegation outside the parliament and see how quickly he will be sued.

Very accurate sir; but I still don’t think that’s an allegation. He said “Some people will remember when General Gowon left Nigeria with half of the Central Bank, so it is said, and moved to London,”

So it is said; no be accusation.
(My thought)

Which Gowon ? That British MP must be high on Coronavirus vaccine. Do you know what is "half of CBN"?

Like father like son. Just as their leaders they will deny all accusations without giving us prove that they didn't do it.

Gen Gowon was in a meeting of OAU in Kampala and he was over thrown, he went to UK on exile, does it mean he came back and took half of CBN?
OR he was going to the meeting with half of CBN in a bag and when he was over thrown he ran with it

I don't think this guy knows what he is saying.

Gowon conspired with his Fiance Minster who was also the second in command Mr Obafemi Awolowo looted Nigeria Coffers.

sodiqapril:
What's with Nigerians and defending wicked leaders, ten years from now,you'll people will describe buhari as a legend and of the best things that happened to Nigeria. Under Gowon's command, a Red Cross plane carrying powdered milk & dry fish for starving children was shot down in 1969.

He perpetrated a blockade that condemned over a million Igbo children to death by starvation & you put "decency" in the same sentence with him?
This crude & blatant revisionism of history has to stop biko

Gowon is a war criminal, he didn't stop at victory, he sought humiliation, he had no rules of engagement, he was an extremely cruel man. No sugarcoating it.

Secession may be a crime but the punishment is not genocide

you are fighting, and you still want your same enemy to give you food so you can have enough power to out win him?

biafrans were fighting nigerian government, i see no reason why you should expect tha same government to give you food...

abeg what is "great" about your country corruption, banditry and terrorism you mean .

You are very correct.

Ok

If it is rubbish. then let Gowon sue for redress.

Though he claims to be of same faith with me... I don't trust him.

All evil thoughts and actions are possible here.

Saying"It's rubbish" not enough to declare him innocent. Let him file a suit to trigger up proper investigation. He's not a saint!!!

Everybody in Nigeria is a suspect am not gonna back him neither because they all birds of same feather GOD have decided to disgrace them one by one from SARAKI-DINO MALAYE-OSHOMOLE-TUNIBU-GOWON all of them got their hands stained

You are yet to reply the UK man in this your statement sir. Pls do so by telling him to reverse his fallacy against you and apologize within the next seven days. Otherwise, you will take a legal action against him. That is how to reply such.

please tell me what is great about this nation. Has Nigeria developed into Dubai after the war over 50yrs ago? Tell me what has changed? Except of cause you are one of the 1% enjoying the wealth of the majority.
Nigeria as presently constituted has no place in the same sentence as greatness.

If your not satisfied with the progress we are making, you are free to go create your own country in Sahara desert

For me to believe Gowon, he should sue the Parliamentarian in the UK and win. Otherwise, I will take what the parliamentarian said as fact.

uptimum123:

There he goes again with another word that has no place with Nigeria. So can you be kind enough to list the progress made? Insecurity and banditry? Poverty? Strife? Hunger? hopelessness!? Nepotism? Tribalism? Corruption? From the north to the south to the east to the west it's same old story. So except the word "progress' has got a different meaning tell us the progress we have made.
