Wouldn't it have been better for former head of state General Yakubu Gowon to just
say that his inexperience, age and poor education were responsible for the Nigerian civil war rather than sticking to a 50-year-old propaganda, which has refused
to stick.

Having gone to Aburi "unprepared" and completely overwhelmed by an
Oxfords-trained graduate, wouldn't it have been better for him to just accept
that he simply fell to the manipulations of the British and bureaucrats back
home rather than blame the war on
"Ojukwu's lies?"
