General Yakubu "Jack" Dan-Yumma Gowon (born 19 October 1934) is the former head of state (Head of the Federal Military Government) of Nigeria from 1966 to 1975. He took power after one military coup d'état and was overthrown in another. During his rule, the Nigerian government successfully prevented Biafran secession during the 1967–70 Nigerian Civil War. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakubu_Gowon 9 Likes

Happy Birthday Jack...you must be regretting why you reneged on the Aburi accord and plunged Nigeria into a civil war that has led the foundation for it's unavoidable disintegration not too far from now. I feel pity for you always, cause the muslim north that used you have now turned your state into a killing field. 27 Likes |

British Boy. Became president as a teen(31), since a governor @42 can be considered a youth. Y'all held the number one office in mid 30, today even with master degree you'll wait and wait, thinking the crime you committed being a Nigerian. 7 Likes |

The man that unwisely decided to stay put and rule Nigeria from a Military barracks instead of conducting elections and speeding up Nigeria's healing, giving the Military the injurious notion that they can perpetually rule Nigeria. Well, anyhow........ Happy Birthday, Sir. Seeing your errors in retrospect and being able to do little to nothing to correct them must weigh on you. I only wish you'd done things differently. 3 Likes |

olowobaba10: I doubt that most people who suffered the war would think that way. Jack did nothing much during the September/October pogroms, and by his inactivity probably helped speed up the start of the war. Of course, the blame for the whole civil war goes to Nigeria's tendency to view government as a goodie sharing place. 5 Likes |
