He had bad PR

If you look at the Abacha economy, it was good ooh

Man was a killer that stole $billions but Abacha created the Petroleum Trust Fund and did significant capital projects across Nigeria

Abacha took Nigeria foreign reserves from $494m in 1993 to $9.6b in 1997, Abacha reduced the national debt from $36b to $27b, Abacha reduced the inflation rate from a crazy 54% to 8.5%....All these with oil price at $15 a barrel.

Abacha invested the seed fund of $1b to the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas company...NLNG. Abacha set up the Aluminum Smelting Company. Abacha stabilized the fragile national balance sheet by introducing VAT.

Abacha 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

This life......

Abacha was not the villain. Tinubu & his disgruntled faction of the NADECO were. Minus the political assassinations, Abacha was super solid in Economy & in sports. USA 94 & Atlanta 96 Gold Medals in football. Chioma Ajunwa’s Gold Medal as well.

NEFERTITI @firstladyship (Twitter)

Agreed

I always said the same but it made people frown at me.

Would you want to be ruled like that of Abacha so you can have those developmental rate??

Abacha operated in a military regime, where he had no Senate, no House of rep, no elections that cost money. All the 5 political parties adopted him as consensus candidate

He appointed whoever he likes to governorship

Tinubu should appoint Joe Igbokwe as Anambra governor, Appoint Lai Mohamed as Enugu governor, appoint El Rufai as Abia governor, appoint Wike as Lagos governor, Appoint Asari Dokubo as Osun governor, Chimaraoke to Kano

Tinubu should get all the political parties to adopt him as Presidential candidate

Tinubu should return Minimum wage to N350 per month like it was under Abacha, Teachers on strike permanently, ASUU on strike for over 1yr and Abacha solution was to sack all lecturers and send soldiers to pack their load out of staff quarters

We get suspended from Commonwealth, he bans us from attending Nations cup

Ogoni people protest of environmental degradation, he hangs all of them including Saro Wiwa

Should we hope Tinubu start killing opposition like Abacha did too so we can see how many of these people will be alive

They are praising abacha that started the black market


The official rate of naira during abacha time was 21 to 1 dollar, on the black market it was 88 to 1 dollar.

Nigeria was on sanctions, prople could not feed, imagine, majoritu of Nigerians using sawdust to cook because we couldnt even have access to fuel or kerosene.

So they now praise Abacha? The first mumu said he had bad PR, the other idiot say minus the assassinations. This is insane.

Fulani are no longer bad people, it's bow Yorùbá people

Indomie generation pikins.

I remember the jubilation on my street when Abacha died. You would have thought Nigeria won the World Cup.

If Abacha was in power, there would be no Nairaland or Twitter in Nigeria for them to share their opinions.

Ok

Noted.

Tinubu should start being like Abacha by hanging Peter Obi the Awkusu murderer and lot of the headless mobs.

So like that, we will see if they will still say Abacha regime is better.

........and just like that Abacha is slowly becoming a Hero........ Nigerians...

Tinubu is the worst
.

Tinubu will be bundled outta Aso rock soon
His downfall is eminent..

.....To the Hungry Soul every bitter thing is Sweet

Salewa97:

Exactly.

We watched how he murdered many of his opponents via sergeant Rogers hit squad e.g. Pa Rewane or via hanging (e.g Ken Saro Wiwa).

Partial list of Abacha's victims

1.
Rear Admiral Babatunde Elegbede, killed June 19, 1994.

The writer and environmental/Ogoni rights activist was Judicially murdered (that was what John Major, then UK PM called it) via execution by hanging, on trumped up charges of murder.

He was 54.

3.
Admiral Emanuel Olu Omotehinwa, May 22, 1996 shot in his home in Ikoyi Lagos.

He had written a story criticizing traditional rulers for endorsing Abacha for president.

He was 34.

And many others like Bagauda Kalto, a journalist also died from wounds sustained from bomb blast planted in a hotel in Kaduna.

The list is long. I can't name all of them here.

Picture attached is of Pa Alfred Rewane.

Someone praising Abacha must be out of their senses. You want to compare Military with civilian regime?

OlujobaSamuel:
Would you want to be ruled like that of Abacha so you can have those developmental rate??

How's today's government different from Abacha's in terms of high handedness?

Indomie children, why won't they praise Abacha. They are obidients after all

waledeji:
Opinion of butt hurt ibos

Because the Mr Obi, their tribesman, they supported was roundly rejected at the polls by Nigerians, they are subtly calling for political derailment and mocking the Patriots who paid the supreme price for the democracy we have today when the Patriots got assassinated by the govt of the late Dictator. DSS should keep tab on them.

Because of the politics of lies, hate and bigotry,they are mocking the families of the Rewane, Tejuosho, Iyalode Ibadan, Abiola, Bagauda Kalto, etc and all the families of the other Nigerian Patriots gruesomely and violently assassinated during the Gen. Abacha regime.

They are sore losers and I am happy that by this time tomorrow, they , Mr Obi, Alhaji Atiku and and the rest of unpatriotic sponsors will be defeated finally at the Supreme Court.
God bless Nigeria for ever!Check my signature for free stuffs!

Me sef dae hail Abacha like this

The man was a good man compared to these criminals

Very myopic thinking. It is absolute stupidity to praise Abacha regime. These ones must have been toddlers then. Under Abacha, Ken saro wiwa, Alfred Rewane, Kudirat Abiola, Omojola, katho, Tejuosho, and many more were killed in broad daylight and many more disappeared without a trace. Prof earned 8k per month, minimum wage was #350. Assu was on strike for a year, nupeng and peggassan banned. A major general was appointed as university VC etc. Teachers rewards were in heaven then. Tinubu is barely 5 months as the president. Abacha ruled for 5yrs. Why not wait for 5yrs and let's compare.

Good one
