Gowon left to the UK from Uganda, directly after his overthrow. Does it mean that he had "the money" with him while at the OAU summit in Kampala? Was he then aware his govt was going to be toppled ahead of the summit? Did he have access to the CBN after his overthrow? Clarifications needed. |

It was this greed that made Gowon to continue shifting power transition from military to civilian then, because of the oil boom. Then, the coup led by Col. J. N. Garba brought Muritala & OBJ. The bottom line is, all military rulers looted the treasury, the difference is just the amount of funds siphoned. |

Neddstark: See, under Gowon, Nigeria made a hell of money from oil. In fact, Nigeria has never made, gotten that kind of money she made under Gowon. If you need prove, go do your research. Or also believe IBB didn't steal and Abdulsalam and the rest didn't steal. |

When Gowon came back in 1983, he was said to have been broke. We so want to believe the worst in people. Corruption then was rather mild compared to what we have today where people fllaunt sleaze without shame. Yes, but he did make his friends rich like Tunji Braithwaite. Most importantly, I doubt you can just walk into the Central Bank and steal wantonly. It's obviously exaggerated to make him look bad 1 Like |

I personally think that Jack Gowon did steal while in office. He certainly did excuse the looting under his watch by some of the folks in his circle and so on But i strongly doubt he 'stole half the cental bank'. That in itself would have precipitated a serious financial crisis for Nigeria and the fact is the 1970s were a time of general economic prosperity even growth. The issues though behind this allegations are two in number. First, bitterness towards Gowon because of the 1966 to 70 period and the general idea of Nigeria as having a national cake to share. |

Nigerians are just too daft...so because he was ousted in a surprise coup while away in an AU meeting means he can't steal?? I mean common,a politician that spent 9years in power Power oo...9 solid years in power and u are waiting for him to steal while he was ousted out of power?? How many years did abacha stayed in govt before he stole what is still being recovered today?? Didn't death surprise him too??,or u would also say because he was surprised by death he couldn't ve stole anything,not to talk of someone that spent 9 good years in power and u don't wanna believe he actually stole anything,then its either ya brain has been soaked in petrol or u just don't wanna use it.... Others saying he was sent money cuz he was living like a poor HOS in UK...there's so many sacrifice a man could make in order to hide his treasure,and if its stole act like a poor man for some few years and live a good life filled with money for the rest of his life,he will do it.... I guess that's why he smiled when he was told that he has been ousted,dude probably knows his next game plan... Nigerians you people should get wise please,this old politicians are no saints and don't deserves our praises and defending.... 5 Likes |

The British people doing what they know best; blackmail you after using you. The same British government that praised and supported Gowon during the civil war suddenly discovered the looted CBN over 45 years ago. This is a classic British system of use and blackmail; nothing new. That’s how cosmic forces fashion an average British man or woman to behave. The British empire is the most genocidal empire the world has ever know but they won’t tell you this. |
Re: UK Parliament: Gowon Stole Money 'Half Of The Central Bank Of Nigeria' by BreconHills(m): 8:50am On Nov 24, 2020 |
Angelfrost: The only reason I can defend him is this. I was in form 5 at the time, my father was permanent secretary in that government on a visiting fellowship to Oxford Uni. My dad was actually victimised by Gen Gowon so I have no reason to defend him. Murtala Muhammed brought my dad back to Nigeria reinstating him and my father retired as Shagari was coming in.. There are many things you can say about Gowon but stealing at scale is not one of them. People have been stealing since 1914 but to steal half of Nigerian CBN at 1975 exchange rate £1 =80kobo would have made Gowon a billionaire in pound sterling! I realize that we are in an age where truth is personal but I owe it to my own conscience to say the truth. Gowon was rehabilitated by successive Nigerian governments. He did not own a house in Ikoyi or VI until he was allocated one ( like all ex heads of state) by the FGN almost 5 years after his return. I stand by the truth. By the grace of God and age, I have nothing to gain by supporting someone who in my opinion did not treat my father fairly. 3 Likes |
