Following reports that the Igbo son of Nigeria’s former Head of
State, General Yakubu Gowon, Mr. Musa Gowon allegedly
released three weeks ago from California Prisons in the United
States, U.S, will soon be deported to Nigeria, the Igbo Mandate
Congress, IMC, has revealed plans it has made to accord Musa
Gowon a rousing welcome.
The group noted that it has notified its members in the U.S
to ensure that “this rejected son of Igbo woman, abandoned
to a life of twenty two years in jail, due to acts not unrelated
to her mother’s disapproval of indiscriminate murder of
civilian by Federal Troops, is not left without roots.”
Disclosing this in a statement forwarded to DAILY POST by its
Director-General, Rev Obinna Akukwe, IMC stated that it “has
gotten in touch with those concerned through agents to
determine the actual date of deportation so that this
rejected Igbo son abandoned by his father, is welcomed and
given a sense of belonging.”
The statement further read, “Musa Gowon was borne out of
a courtship gone awry between former Head of State Yakubu
Gowon, then a Lieutenant Colonel and an Igbo Girl by name
Edith Ike-Okongwu while he was still a bachelor. This
relationship between Gowon and Edith Ike ended in the heat
of the civil war. It is widely believed that the relationship
broke off after Federal Troops bombed Aba General Hospital
with NAF Napalm Bomb on July 14, 1968 killing more than
500 patients..
“Edith was said to have expressed disapproval with Gowon
over the deliberate bombing of Biafran civilian soft targets
and the romance was brought to an end. Prior to that, Edith
Ike’s parents, though from Aro-Ndikelionwu in Orumba
North Local Govt of Anambra State but lived in the north for
over thirty years, relocated back to the East after the first
wave of pogrom of 1966.
Edith herself relocated to then West Germany on 30th June,
1967 after Gowon overruled her plans to relocate to either
the US of UK.
“The relationship was said to have produced a handsome
young man with full name Jack Musa Ngonadi Gowon in
1968. Due to Edith’s constant unease at the indiscriminate
murder of civilians, the relationship got frosty and ended
towards the end of 1968. In 1969 Gowon married Miss
Victoria Zakari, a nurse by profession. Gowon reportedly
denied paternity of Musa.
“Edith was said to have migrated to the United States from
then West Germany after the birth of Musa. The young boy
lived with Gowon until her mother took him away to the US.
Edith was later to relocate to Nigeria where she became a
guru in public relations, working with Guinness PLC, NNPC
and others. In the US Musa was said to have joined a
Colombian drug cartel and lived flamboyant lifestyle until he
was arrested on November 18, 1992 aged 23, prosecuted
and given 40-year jail sentence the following year.
The statement noted further that Chief Charles Okereke,
Publisher of Nigeria Masterweb and Ambassador at large for
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, while briefing the
leadership of Igbo Mandate Congress on aspects of the legal
tussle between Gowon and Edith Ike said that “the case of
paternity appeared before the Supreme Court of Nigeria
(Suit No: SC.64/97); the appellant was General Gowon
(Gowon v. Ike-Okongwu (2003) 6 NWLR (Pt.815)38 and
respondents .Mrs. Edith Ike-Okongwu, and Mr.Musa Gowon.
FACTS: Respondent herein as plaintiff in the original action
claimed, inter alia that the defendant, General Yakubu
Gowon, is the father of the 2nd plaintiff, Musa Gowon. They
claimed damages of the sum of N10, 000,000.00 for alleged
libel contained in a letter published by the defendant
through his solicitors to the editor of a monthly magazine
“The Prime People.”
“Defendant in his statement of defense denied liability and
paternity of the 2nd plaintiff. The defendant subsequently
filed a motion seeking leave of court to file an amended
statement of defense by inclusion of a counter-claim. The
subject of the counter-claim was an alleged libelous article
in two publications of the magazine called “HINTS – True Life
Romances.”
“These publications of the magazine were made after the
plaintiffs had filed amended statement of defense. The trial
court at the conclusion of hearing of the application struck
out both the amended statement of defense and the
counter-claim. The defendant’s appeal to the Court of Appeal
was dismissed. Dissatisfied, he further appealed to the
Supreme Court.”
“U.S. President Obama last month granted him state pardon
after he had spent 22 years in prison. He is now in the
custody of U.S. Immigration booked for deportation to
Nigeria anytime from now
“Igbo Mandate Congress also calls on the Federal
Government to ensure that this boy is rehabilitated so that
those evil memories of the civil war is not resurrected and
used by desperate politicians.
“Igbo Mandate Congress also called on Igbos in the United
States to assist to assist Musa Gowon Ngonadi because “he
whom has been rejected should not reject himself”
“Igbo Mandate Congress also expresses gratitude to the
United States President Barrack Obama for the pardon
granted Musa Ngonadi Gowon in the spirit of reconciliation
and demand good treatment of this man born under the
contradictions of love, hate and an unnecessary civil war.”

The dates of the events have spoilt a good story.

It doesn't matter that he is Gowon's son or not, he was a criminal drug baron smuggler with a Colombian cartel! That is a crime punishable under U.S. Law so Ibos should quit this hypocritical showmanship! At 23, he was an adult and had opportunities to be a professional but preferred to be a criminal, he is 100% responsible, not his mother, Gowon, U.S., Nigeria of the war. During the war, Gowon's allegiance was to Nigeria just like Ojukwu and whether the mother left or not is of no consequence, Gowon did his job, Ojukwu failed and ran away to Abidjan dressed like a pussie cat. So Ibos can inject themselves into this issue again, it will bring them neither new friendships or sympathy, their eye-service hypocrisy is nauseating! In everything, they must seek patronage and advantage, no need they lost 3 M Ibos and keep losing everyday!

All that said, the dates mentioned had also screwed up their lies and stories! Watch as these useless urchins scramble to fix the date to somehow make it as though Gowon and Nigeria is to blame and Iboz are the ones rushing to his rescue! Clueless Iboz population!

This Gowon is a war criminal, imagine him bombing a general hospital with the banned napalm bomb and killing more than five hundred people. This man is a devil.

Which principle
Abeg go siddon one side joor!

. Gowon did his job abi? Gowon bombed a General hospital with Napalm bomb that is banned, wiping off over 500 people and all you can say is that he did his job. The way he did that job may the Devil do his job in your life, family and generations in Jesus' Name.

It is good that the iboes are the ones welcoming him.....his mother's ibo blood naturally led him to a life of crime...

News Alert; NAF Bombed General Hospital Killed 500 Patients. Another Tissue Of Lie Added To The Existing Archives Of Lies. Amazingly, The FG Not Only Starved Civilians To Death And Deprived Them Of Medications But Also Used Bombs On Them As Well Which No One Has Reported As Grave As It Sounds, I Hope These Lies Would Not Come Back To Burry You Lots Someday, its Becoming Nauseating. You Can Install Musa Has The Heir- Apparent To Nnamdi Kanu For All I Care, You Can As Well Find Him An Igbo Father. The Man Has gone Through A Lot Already Rather Than Cunningly Messing up His Personal Issue In Ethnical And Political Undertone All In The Name Of Sympathy. Yeye Dey Smell
No Lie Only Truth!
No Lie Only Truth!
