“Gen. Yakubu Gowon's failure to secure and protect the lives and properties of the Igbos in the North forced Col. Emeka Ojukwu to declare the secession of the Eastern Region from Nigeria in May 1967, leading to the fratricidal Nigerian-Biafran civil war”

- Gen. Ibrahim Babangida

Nawa o

He utterly failed to protect the Igbo people in the North, standing by as they were slaughtered. When presented with the last chance to prevent 30 months of bloodshed—the Aburi Agreement—he discarded it without a second thought. War erupted, and he abandoned all pretense of humanity, violating internationally recognized rules of engagement. Instead of fighting with honor, he waged war on the defenseless, deploying starvation as a weapon to exterminate innocent women and children.

The Achievements of the War:

The Bakassi Peninsula was handed over, stripping the land away, a betrayal disguised as diplomacy.

The Bight of Biafra was erased, replaced with the Bight of Benin—a reward for Benin’s loyalty.

All oil companies moved their headquarters to Lagos, ensuring Lagos reaped the spoils of war.

The loss of Bakassi to Cameroon, a bribe disguised as a territorial concession.

The murder of three million souls, deliberately starved to death by a military machine driven by pure, unfiltered hatred—an offering to darkness itself.

The destruction of Onitsha markets, the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN), countless homes, and schools, a scorched-earth reward for the forces of devastation.


He preferred to give away the Bakassi Peninsula rather than honor a single document—the Aburi Agreement—that could have spared millions.

And now, this cursed entity—Liegeria—marches on, but its fate is sealed. Only God knows the judgment that awaits this land. May Liegeria be cursed beyond all nations, past and future. May it never find peace until it is erased from existence.


Watch how envious people from the same part of the country will come and dispute what an insider is saying about the first coup , civi wat preferring to believe concocted lies and miserable fallacies

Omo, babangida coming clean before he dies. I don’t blame him. You have to confess all lies. Na Yoruba coup o and we don dey blame Igbo since.

IBB will def go down to his grave not only a liar, but also being known as the evil genius.

Yakubu Gowon cannot protect the Ibos from the mob.

When your leaders commit abominable acts, you don’t judge how people respond.

If Ironsi did not prosecute the Ibo coupist, Gowon had no power to stop the mob either.

Gowon why?

If he hard said otherwise by now this thread could have been in the front page

chidexleo:
Gowon why?

Gowon was misled. And I believe he will spill the beans some day about how people ill advised him against protecting igbos in the north. We all know who advised him to starve women and children and who advised him to trash Aburi Agreement but we don't know yet why he refused to at least protect vulnerable igbos in the north.

Because he did not tell you what you wanted to hear?

ajailer:
IBB will def go down to his grave not only a liar, but also being known as the evil genius.

So you know more than IBB regarding what caused the war?

Why are you blinded by your hate for the Igbos?

Gowon is alive so IBB did not speak behind Gowon's back!

Let Gowon come out to refute it

Yoruba advised him to make sure all Igbos are cleaned.

Yoruba is the real problem of igbos.

IBB himself mentioned is his book that he could be wrong in his claim. It’s his own subjective view.

Below is also from his book.

Yorubas hate exposing the truth, hence they support evil leaders.

This cowarddd will rather blame Yoruba who never went the barbaric way as the Northerners in mudding 30k of your people after their Ibo coup that terminated our premier.

Hausa mud 30k Ibos in cold blud, Ibo man trying to shift the blame on the Yoruba who had no hand in it.

This shows fear is a great weapon. You guys fear the Northerners because you know they can indeed “mud” if you anger them.

You accuse Awo as the mastermind behind your defeat. Yet same you cry when we say the Yoruba won the war for Nigeria. Stay in one place abeg.

If not ment, how do you engage in a war and expect your enemies to feed and cloth you? Does that even make sense? Even during USA civil war, the union army laid a blockade against the secessionists and lot of people starve to death. It’s war, no love in war.

He was young then but you were nowhere near being conceived so why are you insisiting on your narrative?

I am not insisting on my own narrative. I am just telling your IBB narrative is not an objective truth, it is subjective.

Yorubas are culturally wired for propaganda!It is very hard for a Yoruba man to come out straight forward in anything,it is in there DNA,reason they always make wrong and highly sentimental decisions during elections. You can go back in history and follow the trend,its a pattern that they can never wish away. Treachery!Treachery!!is there way of life.
But there are also a lot of good Yorubas out there but they bad ones are always in the forefront!

Your level of foolishness is beyond repair and beyond compare. Did I mention the Yorubas in my post? No. Yet, you insist on dragging your warped, demented mindset into every discussion, making your ignorance glaringly obvious. Tufiakwa! I have never encountered such a tightly shut mind, radiating nothing but toxic, negative energy.

Yoruba Muslim coup

Don’t be a cowardd bro, the intent of your post is the Yoruba and you’re systematically blaming Awo for advising Gowon.

Be bold like me, say things as it is.

For the rest of your jargons, I don’t care what you call me. You’re hurting so it’s normal to type like that.

If na me them mud 30k of my own people too for the sins of a few, I will be as bitter as you.

See this warped mind, in my post ,I said Gowon is likely to release vis version and people will know why he did not protect igbos in the north . I never made mention of yorubas so why this closed mind reason.

Again, don’t be scared to admit what you mean. It’s just Nairaland, no one will beat you.

Below is your statement. Can you tell us who that is please?

“We all know who advise him to starve children”.

But yoruba people will never agree.

They will stay in their region and narrate everything that happens in all regions.

The did has been done but spreading false info about Igbos will never be taken or neglate.

They will rewrite everything Babangida wrote and give it their own interpretation.

Ironsi even tried..he arrested most of the coupist especially his tribesmen. But failed to execute them.

Kudos to that igbo soldier who killed most of the coupist irrespective of their tribe

Stop being hateful, and open your heart and your life will change for good, working for Apc for small coins won’t change anything in your life

They know but the deepseated hatred they harbor for Igbos out of envy and jealousy will never let them admit the truth.



Don't waste your time brother.


Time will definitely reward them accordingly
