Amos1423: Nigerian leaders are 1000 times BETTER than the British colonial looters were. This is something many of you are too thick to understand. They did not come for "business". They came to LOOT YOUR RESOURCES. That is what colonialism is about - looting. Not "business". The British ruled for 63 years and built not a single university or power station in Nigeria. Kainji Dam was our first power plant, and was commissioned by the Balewa administration in 1964. Today we have built 200 universities since independence. When the Brits left, Nigeria was just a big bush with nothing but illiterate village peasants and nake.d malnourished children. Today under indigenous rule, you are literate and exposed, whereas under colonial rule, your grandparents were illiterate village peasants. Indigenous rulers may be corrupt, but they have invested more in the country than the colonialists by a huge margin, from education to infrastructure, you name it. |

Neddstark:Look at the State of your country. Do you need the west to tell you that your leaders have looted your future. Was it not Gowon that said spending excess money is the problem? Well, he didn't spend it. He just moved It to the UK. |

It may Also be why the UK was solidly behind him during the civil war. I learnt that he was fondly called the "queen's boy" in the Royal court whenever he came to the UK to curry support. |

sangresan: He left to the UK after the coup. Look at that MP. He's quite young. If he did not have facts or have information about such, believe me, Gowon is not a poster boy for corruption in Nigeria. Just as you mentioned. The easy targets are Abacha, IBB and OBJ. I doubt he could have known about Gowon from listening to tales on the street of London. It must be some serious information for him to have mentioned Gowon. |

Neddstark: You're either child or an ignorant stupid idiot with this kind of reasoning. Somebody just told you that gowon stayed 9 yrs in power and could have used that period to loot as much as he wanted without waiting for when he will be toppled and here you are asking the receipt of the said loot. Do you honestly think that UK education system is so shamble that they don't teach their successive students history of their country and that of other countries? Do you think that this man will come out and start making a weighty allegations without having proofs and backing? Btw, is this the first time you're hearing about Gowon looted half of the central bank? Tomorrow you will ask for the proof that buhari have looted more than all of them put together. |

rossniti: Is it just me or has anyone observed for long how this guy goes on about every thread spewing rubbish, and sounding as if he is the know-all and only pure and original Nigerian in this country? To what end? Do you really think you are more Nigerian or patriotic than most of us? ![]() That said, I am glad this MP gave us a glimpse about how Gowon milk our country dry and loot its resources to far away London. He is among the many crooks and hoodlums we called past leaders who have achieved their mission of bringing our economy to its knees ![]() ![]() The earlier people like this guy realize Africa problems and particularly Nigeria problems are it's leaders and bad governance the better for us all. 1 Like |

Agbegbaorogboye: My God! I swore to myself in 2014 that I would never engage in the silly rigmarole that you guys play on this site. I'm sure you have google, search for Attorney General v Mohammed Abacha and others (a case of receiving stolen property), search for thr various criminal cases against Sani Abacha's estate and also search for Nnamdi Azikiwe's case before the Foster-Sutton Tribunal regarding the ACB. While you are at it, find out the meaning of affirmati non neganti incumbit probatio and tell me if any of the nonsense that you've posted here shows that Gowon took half the Central Bank to London. I don't have time for unseriousness and rubbish. Provide evidence or shut up. Good day. 3 Likes 1 Share |

rossniti: Did you read the part I said Nigeria to the British was/is a mere business ground? The british didn't come here for development but merely business and at this discovery they were asked out by the pro-colonialist. The question isn't about what they British did but what those who made Nigerians believe they're better off than the colonial masters, those who raised hope of our people but failed. They're the ones to be questioned cause they too came from amongst us. |

uncleinans: Are you a kid? How old are you, please? Which civil war was fought with bow and sticks? It is offensive to read some of the things you people post here. A war from 1967-1970 was fought with bow and sticks? Oh me! There were guns! There were airports then! Nigeria had a good military which was equipped by Britain. Then Nigeria cut off food supply channels so many of the Biafran people died from starvation and hunger. Go. And. Read!!! |

rossniti: Complete balderdash! The British looted your nation, but built theirs to become a super world power. They built their nation to rule the world. And yes, they ruled the world. They imposed their language on more than half of the world. In fact, their language is spoken almost everywhere. But your leaders, till date, loot their own country Nigeria. Then you turn around and say your leaders are better than British colonial leaders. By what law did you come to such shocking conclusions? You can keep supporting the kleptocrats in Nigeria but don't act as though everybody is a fool. When in the world did Nigerian leaders become better than the leaders of Britian, yet they cannot make a city as cool as JoBurg or Cairo. Abeg shift joor! 2 Likes |

themaestro08: If you had a working brain, which you don't, you would realise that corruption, like drug trafficking, is a RACKET that involves multiple players in multiple countries, who facilitate the moving around of money. This is why when the US govt goes after drug gangs, they don't limit it to US based mules, who are often the small fry. They send special agents to Colombia, Mexico etc, to fish out the heads of the networks, and take them out, or drag them to the US for trial etc. UNTIL WE HAVE THAT SAME APPROACH TO CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA, you will NEVER end that problem here. Until you grow the balls to tell the big banks and big shots in England, France, Switzerland, etc to STOP ENABLING CORRUPTION IN AFRICA, you will keep being STUPID. |

Agbegbaorogboye: You don't understand Nigerian history...There was no rivalry between Buhari and Goodluck.... Goodluck handed over to Buhari peacefully. Besides, Buhari retained many of Goodluck's appointees and they continued to consult with each other years later. Murtala overthrew Gowon's govt and he went after known Gowon's associates in govt...The rivalry between the two groups culminated in the Dimka coup of 1976 that led to the assassination of Murtala. That is the big difference. |

naptu2: What kind of joke is this? I really don't like it. I was prepared to concede to you if you came forward with facts of "A NIGERIAN LEADER CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION" instead you came forward with Azikiwe and the colonialists and the Abacha estate!! Guy you should have just said your good day and moved on. I am not the person making the allegation and your legal maxim is actually the reason I asked that question of you. If no Nigerian leader has ever been charged for corruption not to mentioned being indicted for corruption, then can we safely assume that no Nigerian leader is corrupt as you would want to push? My point is the MP who made that statement does not know Gowon from anywhere so he could not just have conjured such statement out of nowhere as you all want it to look like. Heck, he was probably not born when Gowon ruled Nigeria. I now call your attention to a Nigerian saying his father worked in the UK High commission in London then and such stories abound then and you flare up. Be careful oo!! 2 Likes |

sangresan:Is the newspaper a prosecutor in a court now? If it is a corruption case which is criminal under our laws, and it is common knowledge she actually lost the case, why is she moving around and not in jail? The case was actually instigated by her to claim monies EFCC wanted to forfeit. Nothing like corruption case there. That is besides the fact that Patience and Goodluck are not the same person. Patience was never Nigeria's leader. When was Tinubu and even Ahmadu Bello ever Nigeria's leader. You can be a leader and not be a statesman and you can also be a statesman while not being a leader. Google what a country's leader means. Chai!! |

GreyLaw: Use your head, dunce. I meant that Nigerian leaders are better FOR NIGERIA than the British colonialists who ruled Nigeria for 63 years before them. I also do not subscribe to praising the British for looting and raiding half the world to enrich their country. If everyone did that, what kind of world would we have, or does your donkey brain not think along such lines? |
