In his book, Gowon cast Ojukwu as the bad guy on #Biafra & Aburi.
In this video, Ojukwu replied Gowon word for word, as if he knew what was to come.
This video bears one of the best rebuttals to Gowonโs distortions of the history of the Civil War & its aftermaths. And unlike Gowonโs book which came lately, the video was made in the immediate aftermaths of the civil war.
Yakubu Gowon Has Continued To Tell Lies About General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Without Even Accepting His Own Role In What Happened.
Till Today, Many Still Believe That If The Aburi Accord Agreement Had Been Honored By Gowon Instead Of Sabotaged, Nigeria Would Not Be Facing So Many Of The Problems Destroying The Country Today. One Decision Changed The Fate Of Millions. Over Five Million Innocent Biafrans Men, Women, And Children Lost Their Lives During The Civil War. Families Were Wiped Out. Children Starved To Death. Mothers Buried Their Own Sons With Tears And Empty Hands. Entire Communities Were Reduced To Pain And Silence.
And The Pain Never Truly Ended.
What Exactly Was Preserved After So Much Bloodshed? Today, Even The Regions That Once Celebrated โOne Nigeriaโ Are Battling Banditry, Fear, Killings, And Insecurity. Today, Even Gowon Cannot Freely Travel To His Own Community Anymore. His Home State Has Been Ravaged By Fulani Militias, While His People Are Slaughtered Almost Daily As He Watches Helplessly. A Painful Reminder That History Has a Way Of Returning To Confront Those Who Ignore Its Lessons. The Same Country That Gowon K!lled Millions Of Innocent Igboโs To Keep Together Is Still Bleeding Decades Later.
History Cannot Be Buried Forever. No Matter How Much Gowon Try To Rewrite It, The Cry Of Innocent Blood Never Goes Silent. Perhaps The Most Honourable Thing Gowon Could Have Done Was To Speak Honestly, Accept His Role In The Events That Led To The War, Show Genuine Remorse, And Ask For Forgiveness From The Families And Generations Still Carrying The Wounds Of That Tragedy. Because Until There Is Truth, Accountability, And Repentance, The Memories And Blood Of Millions Of Innocent Souls Lost In That War Will Continue To Hunt Gowon Conscience For The Rest Of His Life. Some Pains Do Not Die With Timeโฆ They Live On In The Hearts Of The People.
