Hate him or love him, Gen. Yakubu Jack Bauer Gowon is a success story. He's as gentle as a dove to friends but, a viper to foes. He's not garrulous and more often than not, maintains a dignified silence in the maddening cacophony of meaningless voices. To crown it all, Providence has granted him longevity! What more can a man wish for in life? Happy, happy, happy birthday Gen. Yakubu G = Go O = On W = With O = One N = N- I-G-E-R-I-A!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

[color=#000099][/color] Mvnster: Research on civil war could have helped you from this your rash judgment. Have you heard of Asaba massacre? Where more than five hundred primary school pupils were killed in a twinkle of an eye. Is it part of 'responsibility' for the result of their (our) action? Killing pregnant women and bring out their babies on street of kano, even in the Federal capital. Are all of them part of the result. Danger of a single story! 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: Is there a time we don't have resources in abundance? Now we even have avalanche of gas onshore and offshore. Everyone of them failed. There's no time the resources are less. It's even very much now when you compare the market price. And there's one enormous resources you may be overlooking......"The Human Resources". Gowon never had this magnitude of people in his time. So comparatively, you would realized that there's no time the resources were ever different. Virtually, all of them failed to utilize what's available in their disposal to achieve what they want. Same resources if not more is available to the current government. Governance is a continuum. 2 Likes |

RapistOnBail: Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa...Nigeria failed all of us. Government should make life better, not push us into regression. What's the value of living to 89yrs, to see you child look like Nigeria, meanwhile, when you had the opportunities to better her life, you looted and raped her dry daily year in- year out. You want me to applaud them? Get a life dude! |

Some people are actually very selfish and hilarious at it. You praise your Ojukwu while cursing Gowon. What should Gowon have done when Ojukwu illegally declared a republic within a state? You expect Gowon to have simply folded his hands and looked away? So, Ojukwu is a saint and Gowon an evil one? The same Ojukwu who led millions of souls to grave only to escape with his own more precious life to Abidjan? He could not die for Biafra but sent millions of people, especially women and children to their doom. It was said that at a point Ojukwu had run out of resources but he stubbornly continued to send his fellow men to their graves instead of surrendering. At the end, he cowardly escaped to Abidjan dressed like a woman, and no, it is Gowon you all blame year in year out. May God heal una because it is obvious many of you will go into your graves holding grudges against a man who has lived a fulfilled life, reaching the pinnacle of his military career, and even seeing old age. |

Mvnster: The 1966 coup attempt is seen by many as an Igbo plot, although conspirators included non-Igbos, some coup targets were Igbos, and General Ironsi who prevented the coup was himself an Igbo. Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, the chief plotter of the coup was from Okpanam in Delta state. There was also a Yoruba man in the list of the coup masterminders. FYI also, the coup was executed by serving "Nigerian soldiers" from different ethnic groups and not Biafran soldiers as your misguided tribalistic self thinks. Nigeria may or may not remain one in future but the truth about the past must always be told right. Stop picking on Igbos simply because they boldly challenged the current misrule of the APC through the 2023 election. Let's be truthful to ourselves, APC has ruined this country and Tinubu has no clear cut plans on how to take us out of this mess. Only the Igbos have boldly called out the evil and incompetence of the APC |

Precious452:Almost 99% of those involved where igbo, while the victims where 99% non-igbos. Without that coup there would have been no war, gowon would have passed on as a regular soldier. Accept your faults and stop looking for who to blame. Its that simple. 1 Like |
