Musa who recently returned to Nigeria after spending 20 years in an American prison, is the love child born from a secret affair Gowon had with late Edith Ike-Okongwu.
In a statement he personally signed and released yesterday March 9th, General Gowon said,
“Following years of doubts and speculation, a DNA test was recently conducted to ascertain the paternity of Musa Gowon who recently returned to the country. The results of the tests were conclusive and they confirm his paternity. We, the family, are working to assist in his rehabilitation following a very difficult period in his life. As we look forward to the future with faith in God, we request that our privacy be respected. Thank you"Musa and his late mother have been in a long legal battle with Gowon who refused to accept him as his son. He was born to Miss Edith Ike during the Nigeria Civil War in 1968, when Gowon was Head of the Federal Military Government and Commander-in-Chief of the federal forces.
Edith who later remarried, died of cancer several years ago.
Ok o seen

ReplyDeleteLinda are ur editors asleep? what's biolagical?
ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Jesus!!! He just realized that a 48yr old man is his son? If this man could survive without the love of a father for 48yrs,why does he need a father now?

ReplyDeleteFinally the truth is revealed.
ReplyDeleteStupid and idiot Yakubu Gowon so when u are fucking around u dont know how many women u give belle...Bastard Ex-President like you..a mother fucker....Old fool like you...Ewu hausa Fulani...
ReplyDeleteFYI he is not Hausa or Fulani. Besides am sure u re jst an angry babymama.next time shut ur legs and wait for dat ring.
Delete@helen, u are a fool
DeleteThank GOD for him😀
ReplyDeleteA military personnel denying the paternity of his son is almost unprecedented. Gowon is a cocktail of arrogance and naivety.
ReplyDeleteSo he didn't know the woman he had slept with gave birth to his son until 48years later??? Yakubu Ekenekwam gi
ReplyDeleteThey resemble each other sef
ReplyDeleteLmao!!! Love child ke. He refused to accept him cos he's an ex convict. If the boy was a successful CEO, he would have accepted him years back.
ReplyDeleteAt last! Dis settle d case.
ReplyDeleteIssorait
ReplyDeleteSo Mr Gowon Nigeria was at war with biafra and you the head of Government was busy fucking the enemy(Edith the Biafran girl)

Lol.that was a twist.
DeleteNo edith knows he was against biafra but ibo ladies still dey fuck their enemies..she was probably a prostitute
Delete@Anon 9:03pm you are obviously a nasty Ashana as it takes one to know one!!
DeleteMay the devil kiss u soon! Maggot
Thank God for DNA.
ReplyDeleteSo he can accept now
ReplyDeleteAnd this man was Nigeria's leader?!
ReplyDeleteHe abandoned his responsibility to his son for 48 years, even used the front pages of major newspapers to deny ever knowing the woman how much more her son. This was many years after the war ended. Everybody who knew them before the war, knew they were about to get married, but for that war.
And now after so much has gone wrong and he even has no so called 'legitimate son' to boast of, he claims a virtual 'stranger' as his son?
This man Gowon has been blessed with long life for one big reason;because he has a lot to publicly apologise for. I hope that he is even wise enough to realize that everything he lived and worked for, depends on it.
Whoa! 48 long years. Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteI knew his mother had to be igbo. Very loose bitches forming saints.
ReplyDeleteYour civil war Head of state couldn't resist Igbo girl, the so-called enemy! Think about it Mr Anonymous & that is if you have the brains to.
DeleteBut d biafra bitch laid her pussy down for a token of cash.while d enemy was crucifyibg her pple. Back stabbers
DeleteAfter missing 48yrs of his life! Nigerian men with wandering penis but scared of responsibilities even wen they can afford it!

ReplyDeleteIf it was during the war, I hope it was not a rape case.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm na wa
ReplyDeleteHim be ewu for waiting that long.
ReplyDeleteOkay ooo.jumbo
ReplyDeleteMen of the chest will surely live to who they are .they are polygamous in nature,ND will always be.
ReplyDeleteHe was busy making babies while the rest of us suffer death and irreparable loss during the civil war. That's the type of rulers her have.
ReplyDeleteSee the resemblance sef
ReplyDeleteEva Da Diva...
all this ex leaders self and their secret gf/wives
ReplyDeletegood for him
PKE
He shouldn't have even bothered with the DNA test. The young man looks like him.
ReplyDeleteOMG. What shall we say to these things? And to think that Gowon allegedly got Princess Edith to apologise to him before her death... shame on any man who will willingly sleep with a woman without protection and vehemently deny her if a pregnancy results.
ReplyDeleteNA WA O
ReplyDeleteMen can be so funny, if only he knew how many families , crying for the fruit of the womb.
ReplyDeleteGud for him..
ReplyDelete#FINEST
It is well!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad because if this test was done earlier Musa's life would have turned out better. Being rejected by one's father must be a terrible experience and then his mum died early, no one to stand in the gap and say I'm there for you. I truly wonder why Gen Gowon hesitated for so long knowing full well he had an affair with the late Edith. Now 20 very crucial years have been wasted. Well I hope he will be well rehabilitated and his life will be a success. He is almost 50, that is a lot. Gowon didn't do well at all. I'm of the opinion that he has always known the truth, even the facial resemblance and complexion; he was selfish. Strength is demonstrated in the ability to accept one's wrong,make amends and move on.
ReplyDeleteI do wish his life turned out better and he never bothered with Gowon. Now how will they build a relationship at their ages and after rejection.
General Gowon no doubt that this guy is your son he resembles you very well thanks for DNA.
ReplyDeleteThose are the stupid kind of presidents we have in Nigeria. So greedy to even accept their own seed after knowing they went in there without protection. How could such a person have helped strangers who he ruled? Nonsense
ReplyDeleteThey look alike
ReplyDeleteGood for them...
ReplyDeleteConcubine things on point
ReplyDeleteSome of this men are not ashamed.Nawaoh don't be surprised that this young man was set up before he went to prison.He is lucky this are the same way they killed the son that Miriam Babangida and Bongos Ikwue had together thru a plane crash.
ReplyDeleteAwww,that's nice.x
ReplyDeleteAwwww well happy for him
ReplyDeleteAsshole Gowon...na now ur eyes open.
ReplyDeleteSmilin.....Prison? Wat was his crime? Y d long period of tym for d DNA? Vry sad! 48yrs? Wat does he nid a dad for? Already a man!
ReplyDeleteBiological! I get it - you're tired.
ReplyDeleteWhat an iressponsible father Gowon was to the poor son
ReplyDeletePlease God , can you imagine the psychological trauma and low self esteem this Musa has suffered in prison ( though his fault 4 making bad choices ) and years of fighting with his late mother for Gowon to accept him as his biological son? Musa & Gowon - like two peas from same pod with so much similarity in physical features didn't warrant any DNA test for God sake! 48 yrs it's taken to make him whole and accepted ! Or shall I say - where's Allah!
ReplyDeleteNa wa o.he rily looks lyk his dad
ReplyDeleteEyaaaaaa nice one
ReplyDeletepathetic.... 48 years later and you just found your daddy? thats sad
ReplyDelete1968??
ReplyDeleteSo Head of State, Gowon was killing some Igbos on one hand and f..king others on the other!!?
SMH
So during the civil war when gowon was busy killing igbos, he allso found time to fuck igbo girls abi? No wonder he denied the boy was his, cos accepting the boy would mean accepting sleeping with helpless igbo girls during the war.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame his action at all. Truth is scarce nowadays.
ReplyDeleteOkay good
ReplyDeleteits biological not biological pls.........
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe the President as of then raped Edith to have the child cos the biafra war was on as of that time ....deep more to find the truth
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe the President as of then raped Edith to have the child cos the biafra war was on as of that time ....deep more to find the truth
ReplyDeleteMusa was set up and jailed because he is black! You jobless haters should check the story and read through before saying Igbo blood means crime! As you say what you don't know without finding out the truth, may what you don't know kill you! Judgemental idiots!
ReplyDeleteso while owon was having a flashy wedding in Lagos during the war he was still busy having illicit affairs. Who can we trust. Men all the same.
ReplyDeleteAfter subjecting his mom, the late Edith Ike Mark Odu, to such a public embarrassment of denying the paternity of her son, Musa, and now, he is finally owning up to his deeds?
