Truth be told, Yakubu Gowan's time was the most peaceful and happiest time of my life as a growing youth I had the opportunity to concentrate on my development, and I achieved. There was corruption before him, but he brought evident order and structure; I was shocked and overwhelmed when he was overthrown and things never got better again. He is also an intellectual as he did not embezzle money as much as they do today, but returned to his studies in the UK and got his doctorate. I thank God for that period and pray that God in His infinite Mercy bring a sudden peace miracle to our present youths. Well done Gowan; I pray that Buhari or whoever is there can revisit your books and emulate you in parts to yield this much needed Peace and Unity and Growth.
Ha ha ha !!! When a Kenyan or an East African speaks one do not need a soothsayer to tell you that such a person comes from the same country or region with our popular comedians, Kansiime and Pablo bcos their Swahili/Bantu accents never disappoint in revealing their identity. Gowon has an excellent English accent that cannot be easily linked to his tribe or province owing to the fact that he was bred directly by the English. So, how comes you assert that he speaks like a Kenyan my friend ?
A peaceful leader who watched thousands of nigerians killed in the name of civil war abi?... and 50 or so years after another war is looming... i am not igbo, but they deserve an apology in every speech you give in this life oga sir gowon!... we have to call a spade a spade oohhh and hold leaders accountable for their actions jor... am glad he is alive to see the damage he caused... and God will keep him long enough to see its end... may you live long sir... #bs... sigh...
Between Gowon and Ojukwu who is or was supposed to have been apologizing to the Igbos ? Gowon had to protect the country while Ojukwu plunged and deceived his kinsmen into war in which he absconded leaving them to perished. I think you are only being mischievously sentimental. Even if Gowon should apologize on behalf of Nigerians Ojukwu should have been doing that till judgement Day.
@@davidn.2555 Do not derail from the main discourse, ask relevant questions please. Rephrase your question to "what have Nigerians gained from the union not just Biafrans". There's nothing like Biafrans if the truth must be told until Biafra comes to fruition.

How are you enjoying your One Nigeria of hunger, terrorism, corruption and criminality???? Why una dey japa naa??? 😄😄😄😄😉😉😄😉 Gowon to you i say, evil against the Igbo is upon your people now. Fulanies are killing your people like flies... God no dey sleep.
That was chop-I-chop time. Nigeria lost an opportunity to develop had it gotten a visionary leader. Anyway God knows the best. The blood of the innocent civilians murdered will never allow Nigeria to progress. Grow now oooo, let me see eeee. Until you confess your sins and ask for forgiveness,hmmm, no way.
As far as am concern I no longer consider most of you Nigerian leaders both young and old former and present worthy of respect not until you guys all undo the evil secret agreements made against the innocent Nigerians with the foreigners called fulani herdsmen you,your families and generations unborn will know no peace.
who told u fulani are foreigners ? the majority of the country are HAUSA/FULANI u can never divide the two . by the way GENERAL yakubu gowon/Danjuma are from minority tribes in the North , they reached that position when LATE GENERAL MURTALA MUHAMMED allowed them to , when he organised the second coup against ironsi . they were at the mercy of HAUSA/FULANIS .

Gowan tell your people truth about the Fulani's because you and OBJ and T Y danjuma has an agreement with Fulani's people all over the African that if them help you people Hausa and Yorubas and meddle belts to fight Biafran nation during the war you people will give them the power to rule and the lands of Nigeria's to settle down and have roles in the arms in every aspect of Nigeria government and the only people that is free from all things today is Biafran nation because you people have sell all the other tribes to Fulani's, so tell your people what you people has done that Fulani's is not killing your people in vain and is not tribe cleansing but them wanted to take what belong to them as the agreement signed form you and OBJ and TY danjuma and others that's why you don't have any questions from Fulani's about the killings from your people say the truth so that no one will blame buhari and his Fulani's people, the only people that is free from the signed the document agreement is only Biafrans which is their own nation as Biafran. Please you and OBJ and danjuma should tell your people the truth.
Nonsense , ignorant . Who told you that there's difference between HAUSA and FULANIS ? They're one people HAUSA/FULANIS . and all these people you mentioned here are at the mercy of HAUSA/FULANIS . DURING the WAR , if they show any resistance they could have been taking care off , just like they did to the IGBOS Traitors during the WAR . GENERAL MURTALA MUHAMMAD led the Counter Coup and he Could have been the President of Nigeria then , but he said he doesn't have the Time . He wanted to go to the Front and Continue Teaching the IGBOS a lesson . He puts GOWON there , even though he was a President , he was at the mercy of GENERAL MURTALA MUHAMMAD . That was why Murtala Mohammed did whatever he wanted at the FRONT . GOWON Couldn't COMMAND or CONTROLLED him .The so-called Middle Belt are very minority in the North , 100 to 1% , right at the Middle of the HAUSA/FULANIS .
