[quote author=gidgiddy post=61757299]Gowon went to Aburi, signed an agreement, came back home and went back on the same agreement he signed which caused the war.

50 years later, he is still blaming Ojukwu.

Why won't him blame ojukwu when we igbos are still clamouring for a fogoten biafra' useless tribe

The meaning of Gowon is: Go On With One Nigeria (GOWON)

The meaning of Naira is: Never Allow Igbos Rule Again(NAIRA)


Hilarious but extremely stupid.

If Gowon actually said what's being credited to him on this article then he's really dumb! How can a whole government attend a peace conference without being prepared? How could they go there without a position paper? What did they think that they were going for? Junketing

Here's what really happened in Aburi because I have heard it directly - as discussed by the eye witnesses:
The Nigerian govt went to Aburi and accepted all the proposals, as discussed in the meeting. But when they returned home, the British High Commissioner went to talked Gowon out of it. That's why he suddenly developed a mysterious illness and refused to announce the resolutions reached at the conference. And Ojukwu, a fearless Igbo man, decided to take the bull by the horn and announce the resolutions himself. The rest, they say, is history.

This senile old man has found his voice?He did not talk when the Fulani herdsmen/terrorists were committing genocide in his state.

Mr Gowon you can tell that to the zombies that do not read the history of the civil war.You and your Fulani masters caused the war by backing out of the Aburi accord.

This unprovoked statement from Gowon is uncalled for and can overheat the polity.
the funny thing here is that he is still not saying what they agreed in aburi. seems he is scared of the argument that may spring up, ofcourse he can't defend a lie.

Via telephone, Ogundipe informed the military governor of the Eastern region; Lt-Col Ojukwu, that northern troops had stated their conditions for a “ceasefire”: the killings of Igbos would continue until the northern region seceded from the federation , and northerners and southerners were repatriated to their respective regions of origin . Ojukwu replied "if that is what they want, let them go " and replaced the receiver (see N U Akpan - "The Struggle For Secession" .
oh and for the military not being involved in killing civilians late gen shuwa had to flee from his own men bcuz they went on a murder rampage with civilians in kano

davodyguy:
Those that knew what actually happened can related with the fact that Ojukwu did all he did back then out of selfish desires.

They were ill prepared and never had the capacity to confront a national Army. If he's a good and sensible General, he would have realized that the authors of the two world wars that happened before the Biafra war, who probably had more equipment than Biafra still failed. Hence, he needed not to have engaged in any costly war.

He gambled, out of selfishness and ended up failing.

Kanu should learn from the failed war
what were the things ojukwu did out of selfish interests?.......................i know you wont reply.

The bolded said it all,The FG was not only unprepared but also very incompetent and was outsmarted by brilliant Oxford graduate in the person of Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu at Aburi.They came back from Ghana and reneged on the accord signed in Aburi and resorted to guns and bullets.
Gen.Gowon,God does not answer the prayer of the wicked and the reason why Nigeria is at this state of stagnancy.


That was exactly what led to the civil war.

FFK who was still drinking or sucking his mothers breast was trying to correct Gowon who led the Nigerian civil war..

shame to vultures who has lost the will to believe in the truth of what they were baby when it happened..

2morrow I will not be surprised if this same crook says 9ja was not amalgamated by Lord Lugard!

the shoe of lies left behind by ojukwu is what kanu thinks he could wear to gain cheap popularity....I learn he's now into hiding

even when there was no war yet...just like ojukwu did to bamboozle his Igbo followers by escaping to cotedivoire...Tufiakwa!!

Ignorance i swear is a bastard...
U are insulting FFK... smh...
Who amalgamated Nigeria? Lugard
What year? 1914
How did u know? U read books
Was ur father born then? No
Get a life young man
Have u asked yourself why Gowon never made dis statement in the last 47 years after the war?
How can u credit a statement as "i was sick"?
Did he ever get well to tell the truth against the said "lie"?
Be rational and stop being blinded by hatred.
Ponder on these questions;
What is truth?
Is a statement that favors your concept?
Or it is what is proven without reasonable doubt by witnesses and the media but challenges your concepts?
Have a nice day
