Abacha's days, repugnant as it was, reminds me of my childhood. I was 16 when he seized power. Looking at this video is like traveling back in time to 1993 - 1998. Such happy family ours was, despite the tyrannical rule of Abacha!

He was the smartest military HOS

And people celebrated in my neighborhood the day his death was announced but till date Abacha keeps giving Nigeria money. All the so-called Abacha loot could have built several refineries in Nigeria but it is recovered and stolen again by our evil leaders.

Those who their families fell under the Abacha killers squad, Those that were chased out overnight from the country, Those that their houses were bombed, or their companies confiscated, especially newspapers houses, those who were unjustly thrown into jail at that time, won't be saying Abacha was a good man, we forget so quickly in this country, Abacha was a maximum ruler, who ruled the country in the highly uncivilized manner, he ruled the country as if the country was his personal company, many people are just saying here that things were cheaper during Abacha time in power as if this life is all about food, our people had been caged for long time and most of them cannot even think right anymore, they beleive their rights and freedom doesn't really matters to them as far as they can get food to eat, the same thing our politicians are still doing to us till today, you see our politicians always keeping their rice until election time before rolling it out for the food slaves, that's not life,we're not an animals but human being created equally in the image of God

Abacha was a visible leader ready to confront a crisis situation wherever it may exist, what about Buhari? He is usually no where to be seen in times of the worst crisis Nigeria has seen which happens to occur under his administration.

From the time of ancient kings to the modern era, people at the top have been assassinated, jailed, or exiled by adversaries, ministers, trusted aides, and even family members. There is no shortage of a son killing a father and a man killing his blood brother in the lust of power thinking that bad things only happen to others and that he will be safe and enjoy the wealth and power.
