Exactly, Aburi meeting should have not be a reason for civil war if not ego, desperation and selfish interest for power. The country is still in a stable condition that time. They two idiots are just showing muscle without thinking of the consequences that will follow their after especially the visionless, hopeless governor of the then eastern region colonel Ojukwu who dragged his people to unprepared and unplanned war for his selfish interest to remain in power. Today his Ibo people is still suffering from adversary of that civil war and relegated to fourth class citizens of the country Nigeria which Igbos championed for their independence.

@Nwafor Hillary uchechukwu Those excuses are what you people used to back Ojukwu up probably he is your kinsmen or state men, but it doesn't work like that. Watch the interview granted to one of top Ibo civil servants of that era Mr. Ben Enweonwu around January 15th, 1970 just 3 days after the civil war. You also go and watch public interview in the street of Lagos from January 1970 immediately after the civil war then you will heard peoples on ground honest assessment of that senseless war of shame by the so called Eastern Biafra led by the selfish Ojukwu in the expense of the less privileged Ibos and Easterners.

@@charlesking7331 Make sure you read your book about the civil war and what lead to the war before you speak rubbish out of your mouth the people you met here are not illiterate if you happen to be one ….don’t come online and give out false information about what you know nothing about I study 4 years in Germany and I read through the history book of what lead to the war and you that haven’t been out of your zoo country called Nigeria …..why did Gowon went to Ghana to sign the papers and why did him later disagree with what they already sign ? Don’t you ever give out false information again otherwise thunder will strike you

@@charlesking7331 learned fool, uptill now the old video didn't teach you anything, what if they were no video? Poeple like you will say (goats had 2 legs then.)

They tried diplomacy in aburi.. or have you forgotten?

Awww

All hail the great Nigeria.

All hail biafra

Ojukwu was an extremely articulate and experienced military officer, having been a battalion commander for over 4 years in Kano; I am not sure if Gowon commanded any battalion

Gowon has never been truthful in his life. The same Gowon made an Igbo lady pregnant at the beginning of the Biafran War and refused to accept or admit it. In fact, it was only in recent years that he admitted that after a paternity test confirmed that. He hated Igbos but went about sleeping with an Igbo woman and even lied to her by promising to marry her. he is even lying to himself and to God by going about pretending that he is praying for Nigeria's unity.

@@benjie6460 may be he has repented

He did. "Because I was involved"

He wrote a book

What do you care? Why will you want to be in a country with people who don't want you? The SE and North have nothing in common.

(Signatures of the nine leaders).

@@jondebosco7478 I hope there is more to it than this, because this here doesn't say much, except at the end, to use of force and sharing info on armaments. If this was it, no wonder it didn't work. Obviously, Gowon was in over his head. And don't forget, these were soldiers not elected officials. There is no such thing as decentralization or devolution of powers in the military. You are either in command, or you are not.

What is that is not clear to you general gawon

Is this in Nigeria?
