Racoon:
The youngest Nigerian military Head of State, but he supervised the genocide of the Nigerian state against the East. Yet Gowon and TY Danjuma are not confessing their atrocities in the events of 1966 that have landed Nigeria where it is today.

But there is still audio evidence of Gowon warning the secessionists,that if they don't return/reunite there will be consequences.
And all these unfortunate events was due to action of those soldiers that killed our very first indigenous leaders bloodily. undecided

Research? No. If you are student of history you should know that Nzeogu is from Delta state. Not killing him is what the north held as a reason for the northern coup in 1966. You are saying fake love when your fathers and grand fathers are very persons that massacre primary school pupils in a broad daylight. Shame on you!
Who will ever think that in a crisis that has not become a war that your parents will descend on primary school pupils that are still in age of 5 - 11 years? Even in wars civilians zones are untouchable, not to talk of primary school. Ojukwu was still waiting for Gowon to implement the agreement reached in Aburi known as Aburi Accord, only for him to run Asaba over. Blowing the bridge after rescued many citizens of Asaba was inevitable for safety of women and children of Biafran extension. Since your parents were after women and children.
Don't say northern soldiers, Yuroba soldiers champion by Obasnjo were full involved. Lagos Federal capital witnessed reaping of unborn babies of Biafran extension from their mother's stomach! People in air and motor that wanted to run to East were killed in broad daylight... Just don't mentioned that war again.
You should ask yourself why is it taught at schools? Atrocities done to the people of Biafra! If you are a human being should ask yourself why a crisis that arouse within the army degenerated to killing of citizens even when they have taken their revenge? Why Gowon refused to pay Biafran even when he can't secure their life in Lagos federal capital and other part of the country? Why did he go back on agreed Aburi Accord? What happened to the corpse of a president Aguiyi Ironsi?
Typical selfish igboman, you want to shift the blame without accepting responsibility. Because nzeogu was from asaba thats why you blew up the asaba bridge? Heartless bastards. Why did you not sit back to defend them like you defended your own? You started the war and abandoned the poor defenceless people to face the angry frustrated soldiers after killing their leaders and sparing yours. Selfish heartless dolts.

I have never seen someone that killed primary school pupils and be blaming the same people. Biafra one is from Agbor to Oba. Research no! You are just making fool of yourself! You think if the war is between Nigeria and Biafra Nigeria will win? Ask your elders who fought the war Islamic Arabs with UK whose interest is on the oil. How can Biafra defeat such countries? Selfishness you said? Asaba relocated to Onitsha after it was conquered. Enugu relocated to Umuahia after it was conquered... These two states have boundaries with Nigeria, blowing the Niger bridge is inevitable. I don't know your age but if you have reached the age of reasoning, you should know that you don't give your enemy access... Nigerian, Arabic and British army on reaching Niger bridge had to turn back. It is called military strategy. Ojukwu used his Father's resources to fight for biafran survival. Google the name Sir Lious Ojukwu, then tell me who is selfish between your grandfathers and Biafra

What Biafra soldiers did has no correlation with Gowon's war


Mvnster:

When your biafra soldeirs went about killing leaders of other regions except your region, you expected the northerners to path on your back for a job well done? Gowon is a big clown definitely but you should accept responsibility for the result of your actions.

"You praise your Ojukwu while cursing Gowon. What should Gowon have done when Ojukwu illegally declared a republic within a state"

3 Qs

1) What basis do you refer Ojukwu's Biafra as illegally declared Republic?

2) Who determines the illegality and on what authority? 

3) What is ur ethnic nationality?

aremubabs:
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.

Oga why dont you face the truth like a man for once? What your soldiers did at the asaba bridge is just like a man who goes out looking for trouble, and when it gets to his home he locks himself up in bedroom leaving his wife and kids to face the trouble in the sitting room. Are you all cowards? And stop trying to be clever by half, it makes you more stupid looking, if asaba "relocated" to onitsha like you want to now claim, then who were those massacred?
The coup and resultant war was very unnecessary, the coup could have been bloodless, and aguiyi ironsi also messed up the whole thing, he had the opportunity to appease the angry northerners but chose to be a clown. I can bet he had a deal with the coupists.

Gowon, you said "one Nigeria" is the best. Today, how market?

This is why you lots from across the Niger will never be taken seriously. An ignorant youth reading your message above will be hoodwinked into believing that the North invented the One-Nigeria fraud not knowing that it was invented and propagated by you very Easterners who have ironically turned around to hate it because the concept didn't materialize the way you had calculated it to be to your undue advantage over all other tribes.

That you couldn't even be honest enough to mention that Azikiwe the overall political leader of Igbos invented the expression that 'The unity of Nigeria is perpetual and non-negotiable' and also that 'To keep Nigeria one is a thing we Easterners are ready to pay the ultimate price for' speaks volume of the deception and revisionism coming from that your SE axis.
Why not just admit that Azikiwe was actually the undisputed architect of one Nigeria while Ojukwu and Ironsi cemented it with Dangote and Bua Cements?

You should have me to lecture you. Asaba mascre is what alerted Biafrans of imment danger ahead. Ojukwu allowed Nigerian soldiers to with guns untouchable even after mayhem to army of Eastern extraction. Gowon's mantra of keep Nigeria one who will ever imagine that it involves killing of school children who were studying in their classroom. When did they blow the Niger bridge? You think that Asaba mascre happened during the war? Who will allow his children to go to school during the war?
