WHY I CANNOT DESCRIBE GENERAL YAKUBU GOWON AS A HERO

When the real history of the country is written the role of General Yakubu Gowon and the other Nigerian commanders during the civil war will be put in proper perspective. The slaughter of 3 million Biafran civilians in that war is the greatest act of black on black genocide in human history.

I cannot celebrate the birth of a man who presided over such carnage and neither can I describe him as a hero. Nigeria cannot make much progress or truly prosper until she apologises to the Igbo and Biafrans for the great evil that we visited upon them duing the civil war.

The waging of war is different to the mass murder of civilians. The former is lawful, the latter is not. War between two armies is legitimate but the targetting and slaughtering of innocent and defenceless men, women and children is a violation of international law and a crime against humanity.

Worse still such savagery and barbarity is simply unacceptable in a society or nation that lays claim to being rational, reasonable, decent, benign and civilised.

The truth is that those that were directly involved in the carnage have innocent blood on their hands and that blood cries to God in heaven for vengeance and justice.

We as a nation would do well to learn from others and muster the decency and courage to apologise and make reparations to the people of the South East for the abominable cruelty and wickedness that we visited on them in the name of the Nigerian civil war.

Truth be told Gowon na scam
I still his role in the shady pfizer vaccine scandal

Gowon needs to be tried in an international court.. Mans a beast!

I know that yorubas will say that tight Igbo pvssy is what has kept FFK's brain on reverse mode but let's keep watching him

FFK the lunatic again!

FFK is a useless kid that refused to grow up at age of about 60years. Whenever we are preaching against war and IPOB is beating drum, this is what we are saying. Nobody save any arsenal during the war, in fact, the stronger the opposition, the deadly the arsenal needed. God himself need to killed all the first born in Egypt before they allowed Israel to go.

Who again hid FFK's stuffs from him?

This is unfair ooo.. Make Una people beware of Rabies oo

Former Nigerian Head of State, Yakubu Gowon celebrated his 85th birthday a few days ago and he was largely hailed and celebrated as a 'hero'.



Femi Fani-Kayode has however explained why he cannot celebrate Gowon or describe him as a hero.



According to FFK, 'when the real history of the country is written the role of General Yakubu Gowon and the other Nigerian commanders during the civil war will be put in proper perspective. The slaughter of 3 million Biafran civilians in that war is the greatest act of black on black genocide in human history'.

Who will call a murderer a hero

Except illiterates that doesn't know what it means to be a hero

It's just like calling Buhari the father of modern day democracy

Is Gen Gowon or any Nigerian asking FFK to celebrate Gen Yakubu Gowon, a Super Hero of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

But you can celebrate the birth of Obj Who supervised the killings of Odi people in Bayelsa state. Or those lives in Odi were less important? This guy and his followers are all confused elements

I thought the drug addict said that it was Obafemi Awolowo that used your fathers and uncles for pepper soup and suya, isn't it Awo again? The bastard is very very confused.

It's Bianca Ojukwu. I don't know why she did this again.

I will advise we research the history (Precedence) of what he is saying and understand better. Nigerian youth read your history please.

Lol, I know the history of Nigeria even more deeper than you can think.

What FFK is saying is just plain rubbish. He is a deranged adult that take pleasure in stoking the fire of hatred and attacking people all to appeal to his illiterate and hateful base.

Okay

FFK is absolutely right though

War is not a joke!
There are still clear archives of WW2, everybody gets bombed, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, are recent examples

Is what he said wrong? How do you celebrate a man who superintendents over the killing of 3 million people?

He had a duty of defending his country as a soldier against disintegration as enshrined in the constitution.

He was a soldier that had to do what needs to be done coz even if it’s not Gowon it will be someone else.

You all made it look like Gowon started the war. You also made it look like the Biafran side never killed any Nigerian soldier or civilian.

C’mon it’s a war and each side had a duty to defend their own and war always lead to casualties around the world. If Ojukwu birthday can be celebrated then Gowon also should have a chance to celebrate his birthday.
