General Yakubu Gowon being told he had been overthrown as the Head of State in Nigeria while he was away attending an Organization of African Unity conference in Uganda, on the 29th of July 1975.



He was very shocked at first, immediately he arose from his sit at the African Unity conference, while moving out of the conference he was being interviewed by foreign Journalist, who were very desperate to know maybe he was aware of the news of his overthrown as the Head of state.

He did us proud by crushing the Biafran rebellion. Someday his face will be on one of our currency notes

Gen.Gowon betrayed Late Maj.Gen.JTU Aguiyi Ironsi by later leagueing with northern rebels being led by then late Gen.Murtala Muhammed to be crowned HOS on the 29th of July 1966 @ Ikeja Barracks.

Well, a fact remains that nearly all of them involved in the northern military conspiracies in this histroy of Nigeria have all had one woeful nemesis befelling them or the other.

See how young he was then.
