This was a verbal assertion from a young MP. Please I am not arguing or defending nobody. Adesina was accused of non-transparency in his first term as president of AFDB by the West but was cleared. GEJ was accused of preventing the rescue of the Chibok girls by the UK media but he gave his defense. Gowon was never a saint, but an allegation of that magnitude needs ample proof sir.

RuudVanNisteroy:

That is exactly what you are doing defending Nigerian leaders. Gowon said Nigeria problem was not money but how to spend it.

Yet the country was still underdeveloped and there was massive corruption.

Neddstark:


I believe you understand English. Stop trying to aggressively put your views on me. I have my own unbiased mode of thinking. Gowon is not my brother. I have not gotten a dime from the Nigerian government. I am simply asking for proof to back up the words spoken by the MP.
Just like tomorrow someone saying you delight in indulging underage boys in anal intercourse. Its a believable truth because a few men are perverts. Your only defense will be a reasonable proof.

The real Money Heist is made in Nigeria.

Kingof2nations:
he was once quoted to have said that money is not our problem but how to spend it is the problem

ednut1:

RuudVanNisteroy:

What facts do you need that IBB,Abdusalami,Tinubu,Saraki or Dino Melaye stole? This is coming from United Kingdom, they have their facts and know their customers that hide their loot in their country.It might have been a gross exageration, but the parliamentarian knows Gowon stored some of his loot in United Kingdom or one of their tax havens like Jersey or Isle of Man.

WHAT ABOUT THE TRILLIONS THE BRITISH STOLE FROM 1897 TO 1960?

WHY WAS NIGERIA STILL AN ''UNDERDEVELOPED COUNTRY'' WITH NO POWER STATIONS, UNIVERSITIES, OR EXPRESSWAYS, AND AN ILLITERACY RATE OF 95% IN 1960 AT INDEPENDENCE, AFTER 70 YEARS OF UN isINTERRUPTED BRITISH RULE?.


WHAT DID THE BRITISH DO WITH THE TRILLIONS THEY MADE FROM EXPORTING OUR NATURAL RESOURCES?

WHO ARE THEY TO TALK ABOUT NIGERIAN CORRUPTION WHEN THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL THIEVES AND LOOTERS WHO HAVE STILL NOT RETURNED A PENNY THEY STOLE?

pyxon:
If Nigerian historians could paint Gowon as a war hero and saint, only for him to be exposed to be a pilferer like this, then I wonder how much Nigerian government and historians have twisted the Nigerian civil war story

Someone that ruled for 9years.. and you are asking how he moved money?... ask reasonable question pls

seunmsg:


Are you aware Gowon struggled to fund his university education while in the UK? A reporter snapped him queuing for food at the university cafeteria and the picture trended all over the world. Murtala Mohammed was so embarrassed that he quickly dispatched TY Danjuma to London to beg him to return to Nigeria. Gowon refused to return and the decided to be paying t him pension and stipend so that he can fund his education properly.

When Obasanjo the payment of his pension and stipend as a result of the Dimka coup, Nigerians in the UK contributed money for him to finish his program.

So, how is it possible for Gowon to move half of CBN money to UK and still be struggling to fund his university education?

RuudVanNisteroy:

Yakubu Gowon was President from 1966-1975(9 years), so because he lost his power he become broke. There was massive corruption under his regime, despite him saying money was not Nigeria's problem,but how to spend it.

seunmsg:


Gowon was in Kampala attending OAU meeting when the coup took place. He was never allowed back into Nigeria after the coup.

Nobody is arguing that he did not steal money. All our leaders did. However, the allegation that he moved half of CBN money to the UK is a big lie. He moved to the UK a poor man. The evidence available doesn’t show someone that lived like he had half of CBN money at his disposal. That a young UK parliamentarian said something doesn’t make it accurate. The least we can do is to fact check and try to place the pieces together. In this case, it doesn’t add up at all.

Hopefully, NAPTU2 would come out and educate some of you guys. He’s an authority when it comes to the history of military rule in Nigeria.
