As much as Nigeria was a sovereign nation, the Regions had their own sovereignty too. Gowon caused the civil war because Gowon met with Ojukwu and other Regional leaders and signed an agreement that would preserve the unity of Nigeria. Gowon went ahead and broke the agreement he signed, that's why Ojukwu broke the Eastern Region out of Nigeria

Had Gowon kept to the agreement and Ojukwu declared Biafra notwithstanding, then it would be right to blame Ojukwu for the war.

Gowon broke the agreement, Gowon caused the war.

Nonsense. Let California decide to secede from America today because they don't like Trump/his politics. Or because Trump broke the Iran nuclear agreement and see how the US military will fight them to stand-still. Most of you here are dumb. You don't know how the world works but you will never humble yourself to learn from your superiors.

Ojukwu started the civil war??! Because of his ego??!... The fvck??!...

Someone up there said you should go and carefully read the history of your nation, instead of taking that sound counsel you chose to continue spewing forth trash.... What a shame.

If you can't spare the time to read (I kinda doubt your literacy), at least get someone to properly explain these things to you, so you don't sound dumb on the internet.

P.S.. I'm a very learned and neutral participant here.

You are not as learned as you think. Go and read history. Learn the basic facts. Ojukwu declared another nation within the borders of a sovereign nation. What did you expect Gowon to do? If California declare itself a nation right now, what do you think Trump will do? Sense u na no get. Na to the open mouth cho cho cho cho cho everywhere u na sabi.

FFK has learnt from fucking ibo women that they are easily manipulated with propaganda. Anything Biafra and you are their champion.

If you are not Igbo, the EASIEST way to fvck an Igbo woman is to sing Biafra praise songs. Just tell her Biafra was 100% correct while Nigeria was 0% wrong. She go pull pant 4 u sharp sharp...if u know...u know.

Many lies were told about that war.

If at all, Ojukwu was more guilty of crime against humanity, worst still against his own people just so everyone could blame Britain and Nigeria.

According to Robert Goldstein, the foreign public relations expert Ojukwu contracted to launder Biafra’s image to the outside world, by refusing to allow food aid through the land borders, the Biafran war chief contributed to the death of thousands of starving Biafran children during the three-year Nigerian civil war.

Leave them. They are too sentimental to see or hear the truth. Simple. If you celebrate Ojukwu then you MUST celebrate Gowon.

It's hard to understand these guys...
You were tired of talking with the higher power, you believed it was time for war, you declared "War" against a leader and he gave you his own style of "War". You say its genocide
It is genocide, it is genocide, you asked your militia to keep fighting the Genocide/War for over 3 years hoping you'ld win, of course you couldn't, of course you didn't. And ever since then you turn yourselves and offsprings to "Cry-Cry babies" all over the place.

I'm no fan of Ojukwu or any war monger for that matter... But criticizing Ojukwu and completely exonerating Gowon is barely veiled hypocrisy.

The Igbos have overreached themselves in their first love, Christianity. The Igbos are now Witch Hunters.
Gowon is more Iboish than FFK, so he has no Spirit to hate them.
Igbos want Biafra, want 2023 and yet they are in Sokoto, Maiduguri, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Akure, where they equate themselves with the Deji, etc.

How?You stole billions that would've been used to cater for poor Nigerians who died due to your corrupt money laundering. You're indeed not better and you all worth nothing to Nigerians.

If California has an agreement with the USA, signed by Trump. If Trump breaks that agreement and Carlifornia seceded as a result of breach of agreement, it would cause war but it would be Trumps fault.

Gowon caused the war by going back on the agreement he signed with Ojukwu and the Eastern Region

That's how war is everywhere. Harry S Truman bombed Japan twice and killed thousands of civilians. No one was trialed. George Bush Jr declared war in Iraq without concrete evidence, and thousand civilians died and he's walking free today. I'm not moralizing what the soldiers did o. But Gowon had no choice. He had to defend his country. He's a soldier for Christ sake.

Incompetence is Niggerian problem. Never seen people with so much little knowledge talking trash. Do not compare Gowon actions to other nations. The examples you have is undeliberate consequences. Gowon own was deliberate. Gowon took that choice because he couldn’t defeat the Biafrans soldiers. Due to Nigeria was having more military casualties, they decided in order to subdue Biafran military, they should target their unarmed civilians. In fact, in one of the books I read from Alabi Islama (unfortunately can’t remember the name currently), they intentionally avoided check points areas they believe Biafran soldiers are located at to enter the civilians were. If there aren’t many soldiers in that town, they’ll attack and mostly focus on the unarmed civilians. That’s why Biafra had more civilian casualties than military while Niggeria had more military casualties. Gowon policy was not only cowardly but it is indeed war crimes. There’s no if, and, or but, about it.

Reading the comments from so called “one Niggerian” is the reason I do not moan with them when Boko Haram is slaughtering their civilians and soldiers. They deserve it and I hope BH never stops. To quote them, it is after all “just war; casualties happens “ More grease to Boko Haram and their actions.

Its not an issue of exonerating Gowon. The point is IF Gowon is a war criminal then Ojukwu is a bigger war criminal.

Despite the fact that Ojukwu betrayed Nigeria, we forgave him and gave him a national burial service. This is why the average Northerner does not trust Igbos. If an Igbo becomes president, will he now say he will not give Gowon a national burial service because of some useless Biafran propaganda?

Oga FFK move on abeg.
You cannot cry more than the bereaved.
Those killings happened over 5 decades ago. And both Gowon and Ojukwu regretted having spearheaded those senseless killings.
Time to mend fences and move on.

You are truly an idiot. There is no scenario where Trump will be at fault for declaring war on a seceding California. That is the simple truth. Kiss it.

Too many kids on Nairaland

Yeah bro, it was Gowons right to seize power, sign and discard agreements as he likes, abolish the 4 constitutionally created Regions, create 12 unconstitutional states at will and do whatever he likes.

And it was Ojukwu's job to just sit back and do absolutely nothing while his people are massacred, his agreement shredded, the Eastern Region balkanised and Northern Nigeria dominates every body

Yeah you right, Gowon and his fellow Northerners own Nigeria and Ojukwu was meant to lead his people quietly into slavery to the almighty North lick their shoes so as to avoid war

Are you OK? talk of incompetence, and you're the one saying nonsense. What's the "undeliberate consequences" in Bombing Japan? They didn't have allies, again. Germany had already surrendered; Japan's navy was almost vanquished; its islands were blocked by the ally navy ; and its cities were undergoing concentrated air strikes. The war was already over, the bombs on civilians were unwarranted. Besides, the two cities bombed had more civilians than military personnel. And you think what Gowon supposedly did (according to Alabi something ) is worse than that?
Everything you said about Gowon was speculation. Where did he say soldiers should target civilians?

In wars, you count the cost before engaging. If you're not strong enough for your enemy, quickly surrender. Don't later seek sympathy for the consequences of your ego. Civilians die in every war. It's inevitable. That's why each side should seek to avoid war.

You want to learn just like I want to learn. Good. There are three ways of Government on Earth today.
1, Government by Domination.
2, Government by Compromise and
3, Government by Integration.
Igbos should drop their Brooding, pettiness and hate speech for their imaginary enemies in Yoruba and let's move on.
Integrate your Education, Skills. and Discerning Spirit with the Yorubas fast and without equivocation.
Obtain full Autonomy of Policing, Resourcing and Elections Control for your States.
Buhari doesn't care how many of us died from poor Buharinomics. He is negotiating for Nuclear Deal with Russia and sitting it in the North to further cow down the South.
Yorubas and Igbos should please tame themselves, integrate and get out of the rot of this seemingly unending Fulani domination.

is that really true??
Yes , true... Brigadier Ogundipe was the next most senior military officer...But British and American ambassadors advocating a resolution by voting amongst the Supreme Military Council.. Gowon emerged. Even Muritala felt he should have been the head. The reason I'm guessing was Gowon was a middle belt/North indigene and a Christian. So to balance polarity. I may be wrong.
