Old man suffering from diminishing returns. He ought to have provided comprehensive truths about the whole affair to correct many misconceptions but he chose to keep quiet and go down to the grave with the truth rather than putting the records straight as the principal actor. To hell with you.

Gowon is a disgrace to Military uniform he wore. The man is a sociopath who supervised the death of millions on the excuse that he had to preserve the unity of the "British invented fraud" called Nigeria. This same Gowon did nothing to protect easterners as 40,000 of them were slaughtered across Nigeria mainly in the north but as soon the easterners seceded after being remorselessly killed, Gowon marshalled troops to fight to keep them in Nigeria. Why didn't he rally those troops as people were being butchered? Im happy that Gowon is alive to see the Nigeria he committed genocide for become a cess-pit of iniquity. Gowon will still be alive to see Biafra re-emerge.

Watch this Revelation. A prediction of what wil happen when BUhari gets elected. The prophecy is coming to past. See the target states on the map. Boko Haram has already struck Jos, Kano [/b]and [b]Kaduna. Looks like Abuja/Niger State plus one state in the East is next. We heard of a blast in Rivers.

I don't see that happening in the near future. Igbos don't believe in their own. How do you explain the rejection of Ojukwu at the poll by his fellow indigbo?

Guy so u believe OBj conducted free and fair election? Dont lie to yourself whilst trying to lie to others.


Ojukwu won the east but was rigged out by OBJ rigging machine. Rigging in Nigeria election need to end for us to start seeing the dividend of democracy.

This 2015 election also witness rigging with multiple finger printing of ballot pappers and minor voting captured on Camera. We also saw wat Jega did with the PVC.

Igbos do not stand a chance at becoming president of Nigeria, Obasanjo saw to that. Obasanjo made sure that a certain Ebele Azikiwe became president, thereby eliminating the the possibility of the Igbos and the South South from the presidency in the nearest future.

papparatzzi2013:
how will they become president with their calling of everybody names, out of their complex?


1). Yorubas ll never vote for these ingrates

2). Hausas/Kanuris/Fulanis-Northerners hate Igbos like a piece of poo and if u doubt me, go on their Facebook page and their vituperations against Igbos. However, Igbos started and deserve it.

3). Half of North central might vote in favour of Igbo candidate and d remaining 50% would definitely go d other way.

4). South South vote ll be 60/40 in favour if Igbos or 50/50.

Igbo can never become a president of a United Nigeria unless through their usual coup or back door.

Igbo President will help heal civil war wounds – Gowon

on March 26, 2015 / in News 11:20 am / Comments
lalasticlala fp.

Igbariam – A former Military Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (rtd), said on Wednesday that an Igbo president would help heal the civil war wounds, maintaining that he supports the idea of rotational presidency

Gowon said this while delivering a lecture entitled “No Victor, No Vanquished: Healing the Nigerian Nation” to mark the 6th Convocation ceremony of the Chukwumeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), Igbariam, in Anambra.

He explained that the civil war was not out of hatred for the late Igbo leader Odumegwu Ojukwu or the Igbos, but was based on the principle of a commitment to a robust Nigeria.

“It is wrong to conclude that the civil war broke out following the failure of the Aburi Accord but was the direct result of a unilateral decision of independence for Eastern Nigeria.

“If there was no seccession, there would have been no war.

“It was a reluctant war waged to unite the country,” Gowon explained.

He acknowledged that many people died of hunger and diseases during the period but maintained that the Federal Government ensured that starvation was not used as a weapon of war.

Gowon said that Nigerians should be proud of the gains of the war through the healing balm of “no victor, no vanquished.”

According to him, the three Rs of reconciliation, rehabilitation and reconstruction were adopted to enhance national unity.

He also argued that the abandonment of the development plan drafted immediately after the war by successive governments, resulted in the infrastructural decay in the country.

The former head of state, however, lauded Ojukwu for his courage in defending his people during the war, saying: “if Ojukwu were in my shoes, he would have equally waged the war.”

He also commended the Anambra government and management of the university for honouring Ojukwu with the change in name of the institution from Anambra State University to COOU.

Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra, who lauded Gowon for honouring the invitation, said education was dear to his administration.

Represented by the state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Kate Omenugha, Obiano said that a blue print for the development of higher education would soon be implemented in the state.

“Infrastructure, students’ welfare as well as teachers and lecturers’ welfare are important tools for developing the education sector of the state.

“This administration has increased the salaries of teachers in rural areas by 20 per cent and has approved extra N3, 000 for teachers who teach core subjects,’’ Obiano said.

Earlier, the Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Fidelis Okafor, said that the lecture was designed to honour Ojukwu and give opportunity to Gowon to clear the air on the civil war.

The university will, on March 26, hold its convocation ceremony at the Igbariam campus. (NAN)
