What is yakubu even saying about the genocide and atrocities ongoing in Benue and plateau state. We should go on with one Nigeria even with his kinsmen being massacred on a daily. |

Trumpdonald5:a better soldier that dressed as a woman and ran away? Soldiers prefer to die at d battle field that's what they are trained for.... Ojukwu action was that of a coward that's why he isn't celebrated today by d Nigerian armed forces like majors kaduna nzeogwu, Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Timothy Onwuatuegwu, Chris Anuforo, Don Okafor, Humphrey Chukwuka, and Adewale Ademoyega...... Ojukwu led millions of untrained soldiers to war... Pls what were u expecting? |

StOla: How would you use one person's utterance to define an entire tribe? The guy you quoted is clearly a negative person and it will be unto him according to his words since negative definitely attracts negative, but you are also no different from him. Toxic human beings. |

Looking at the North today, you can tell their leaders have failed them. Where were they, when other parts of the country was advancing in all frontiers...yet, you've had the North in power back to back. Nigeria did not get better, their own community didn't improve also. Only family wealth. Whatever role Gowon played, he's still a part of the problem. All Living former Heads of State who are watching Nigeria perish, are part of the problem. The whole pack of them. |

Racoon: Cartoon or Racoon, the copy and paste engineer: Your dumbness speaks to COWARD Ojukwu in whatever deepsheet he might be at the moment!!!! How on earth do you think the ragtag i.gbo soldiers would stage a deadly war on the Nigeria state and then expect Gowon, the president, to fold hands and then be laughing !!!! I would even have expected him to have wiped out the whole of the disgusting, drugified and baby-factory infested region for attempting to stage such a nonsense war led by an everlasting coward ojukwu, who later ran away ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Akaegwu: What is remaining? Little before it becomes useless and unhabitable. Nigeria is pulled apart by centrifugal forces from the Hausa-Fulani, Igbo and Youruba. But the average Nigerian doesn't seem to understand that nationhood can never arrive for Nigeria. The average Nigerian doesn't understand that splitting Nigeria into many new countries will improve the life span and well being of the people in today's Nigeria. Nigeria's politicians want to rule one big country - Nigeria, don't tell them about splitting Nigeria 🇳🇬 into more manageable countries. |

Mvnster: It does not justify the genocide. Gowon should have ensured those guilty of those crimes punished. Why must innocent people die in the North East for Pete sake because the wrongful killing of the Boko Haram leader. If you seek revenge or justice, let it be an eye for an eye at the most. Anyway, the world lies in the power of the wicked one. That is why such impunity and cruelty exist. |
