Someone said "he laid down his life to make Nigeria better". Please avoid unnecessary pleasantries that would cause insult to the dead. If he actually did anything we will know through the economy thank you.

.... a GREAT GRANDMA FATHER as Chief of Staff.
People don Finish..??

mvem:
so tell me what did Kyari did?..tell me his crimes because he is just a chief staff(His work which he did ) he is not the President, minister of power or defense chief or whoever

truthfulparrot:
Abba Kyari was an exceptional technocrats with verifiable record of service. He was the intellectual backbone of Buhari's government.

DelTel:


The late Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to Buhari wasn't in his 80s.

Apparently there has been a mix-up about Abba Kyari ex-army chief & gov of Northern central; Abba Kyari CoS; (another) Abba Kyari is doing excellently well in the police & youngest DCP ever in Nigeria.

A distinguished Abba Kyari, ex-Brigadier of Nigerian Army and Gov at a point in time, was born 1938 & died 2018.

This University of Cambridge and Harvard trained lawyer Abba Kyari CoS was born 1952, meaning he died aged 67yrs.

Wait is Abba kyari 81 then how old is Buhari? Real age o not football age?

mvem:
Abba Kyari is a popular name among kanuris in Borno and is true there are many Abba Kyari which is confusing....but this one can't be just 67, looks early 70s if they ask me but 80s it's over... Civil servants in Nigeria are known to reduce their age so he might be up to 70 but this is assumptions

mrNEMZY:
My own reaction :

I show no sympathy nor do I need to share any form of condolence to one of the people whom have been in the positions to make this country better, but have continuously placed the country in a detoriatory state for selfish gains.
A lot of people have been in one way or the other adversely affected by decisions, some might have died but they didn't get any condolence from them either.
We would all die one day, I inclusive, but in death I want to leave a legacy, not of climbing to the highest political post, but of really helping the lives of those I could touch.

I still maintain no sympathy for them because it would be highly hypocritical.

UNDERSTANDING WHY NIGERIANS REACTED TO THE DEATH OF ABBA KYARI THE WAY THEY DID.
On the surface, it will appear rather odd to see the average Nigerians jubilating on the death of a top government official, especially given the cause of his death. But on a deeper reflection, you see in what is going on the contradictions that make up Nigeria.

The people see the government officials as oppressors. They hold them responsible for the injustice, hardship and suffering they endure in their daily lives. The people do not see the government as something that exists for their wellbeing, but rather for their oppression, exploitation and enslavement.

Perceiving government officials as the enemies of the people, the death of any of the officials is logically perceived as the death of an enemy. It is natural to celebrate the death of one's enemy.
But all this occur in a symbolic framework. Abba Kyari symbolized government, which symbolized oppression. Most people did not met Abba Kyari in person. In fact, he might have been a good man to his family and friends. But that's not the issue. He represented the evil known as Nigerian Government.

I was taken aback by the fact that the nature of death would have made people feel somber, given that the entire world has fallen victim to the rampaging virus. But why should the people pay any special attention to the virus as cause of Abba Kyari's death? The government officials never felt humbled by Coronavirus. They used the pandemic as excuse to steal money meant for relief to the suffering masses affected by the containment measure against the virus. Also, there was a touch of irony to the fate of Abba Kyari. If only the government he was part of had invested in improving Nigeria's healthcare, he might have lived. He died a victim of the negligence he meant for others.
It is sad, but totally understandable that Nigerians would rejoice at the death of a top government official.
On the other side of the coin, you see the Nigerian society for what it really is - a people bitter and malicious out of years of injustice and oppression. The average Nigerian person is angry, vicious and vindictive. Regardless of what turned him or her into such a bundle of malice, and no matter the justification, it is a difficult experience to manage a Nigerian society. Indeed, both the officials and the people are now equally balanced in malice and it no longer makes any difference which side caused the other or which side is the effect of the other.
The big question is whether the proper lessons have been learned from Abba Kyari's death and the reactions thereto.

I don't want to believe you're blind.. but nothing is actually impossible with you BMC's.

Do I have to remind you of the falling out of NSA boss, Monguno? all because of Kyari being power drunk and acting in a capacity that isn't Constitutionally his?

why should Kyari give orders and directives to service chiefs,when it isn't his to give?

his bad advises and more,makes Nigeria bleeds.

In this case all the people in the previous government(s) deserve no sympathy also. Abba kyari or Buhari arent the sole destroyers of Nigeria. Even sm private and ordinary citizens will have theirs if we look at it critically.
