Mr. Sani Abacha was indeed brutal. If he's still alive, he would have been called a "hero" maybe by some people who benefited a lot through his government. As a young child then, I told my parents that Nigeria is ruled by brutal forces. But one thing I would remember Abacha for is exchange rate. It was so stable that I gave my friend some money to buy me track-suit in the UK, he ended up not buying it, rather asked me to chill. |

I remember his son Sadiq Abacha wouldn't go to NMS,Zaria because the RSM then was such a disciplinarian that he bit the ears of disobedient students. When d late Abacha found out,he practically dismissed the man from the army. Yes! Abacha was that strict and was also a loving father(weird but true) |

Abacha's loots are one of the highest in the history of African or world leaders. FG is yet to complete collection of the ones which whereabouts are known. No wonder one of his family members believes no matter the loots discovered and collected back from different deposits all over the world, the family can not be as poor as Dangote. He is remembered for good and bad, fair and unfair behaviors. He increased the number of States for Kano to 44 while the bigger city - Ibadan was sidelined. Anyway before he is risen to face the judgment may his soul rest in peace! That's the general wish for the dead. |

All I could remember was posters of a very beautiful young lady sitting on Abacha's laps and feeding him one red apple like that, in other posters, it was when he finally died and on his way to hell, also in other posters, it was how money was littered everywhere in his house to the extent of using money as foot mat. Those days, I was in primary school and when going to school, u will see crowd gathered to a spot to comment on such posters. those days shaaa. I never really knew Abacha until he died. |

funshint: You are being sentimental... Coming into power in a country where soldiers aspire to lead through coup, you have to keep a tight leash on things or risk being overthrown or killed. As for Economy.. The Abacha administration became the first to record unprecedented economic achievements:[7] he oversaw an increase in the country's foreign exchange reserves from $494 million in 1993 to $9.6 billion by the middle of 1997, reduced the external debt of Nigeria from $36 billion in 1993 to $27 billion by 1997, brought all the controversial privatization programs of the Babangida administration to halt, reduced an inflation rate of 54% inherited from Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida to 8.5% between 1993 and 1998, all while the nation's primary commodity, oil was at an average of $15 per barrel.[7] His administration is also credited with creating the most comprehensive and realistic blueprint for Nigeria's development through the Vision 2010 committee chaired by his predecessor Ernest Shonekan http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sani_Abacha Compare it with IBB and Buhari... I think you are letting Abacha's corruption and brutality override his many other achievements 1 Like |

I remember fr him for a lot of things .... Despite his brutality he had his good side too ...contributions he made to Nigeria which still hold water till date . his contributions to education by setting up TETFUND ever since no government has paid profound attention to education reasons why we have strikes here and there and till date TETFUND I one of the major financier of tertiary institutions His contributions to economy creating an alternative means to generate revenue other than oyel....VAT (Value added tax) The selfish Europeans were exploitative and wouldn't allow us develop he bullshit them something Gaddafi did to get lybia the required infrastructure... he was dogged and mean .u dare not still . If u observe clearly no government has been as innovative as he was during his time . He was the kind of leader we needed to take us to the promise land .but no the west don't us to develop just .. I will recommend some peeps check out "The theory of imperialism and dependency and The confession of an economic hitman " u all will know that we ain't developing because the west don't us too 1 Like |
