IBB devalued naira by a criminal 2200% (not a typo - two thousand per cent)

Abacha never devalued naira held it constant at N22 = $1 for his entire reign.

OBJ could not arrest Abacha as Abacha had not done anything to warrant his arrest.

Not even sure he was part of OBJ's military govt 1976-79

It was Veronica Roth who once suggested that telling lies requires commitment.
Just keep on spinning those yarns.

Nigeria Recovers More Billions Of Abacha’s Loot
A total of 22.5 million euro has been recovered by the Federal Government from the confiscation on money laundered by General Sani Abacha.



Speaking at the ministerial platform in Abuja, the Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke said a total of 175 million euro was also recovered from the family of the late head of state following a confiscation order by the Supreme Court of Liechtenstein.

Mr Adoke listed measures taken by the federal government to reform the nation’s criminal justice system.

General Abacha had ruled Nigeria as a military Head of State between November 17, 1993 and June 8, 1998, when he died suddenly of a heart attack. As a result, General Abdulsalami Abubakar became the head of state and within a short time, he re-established democracy in Nigeria, arranging for general elections that resulted in the emergence of Olusegun Obasanjo assuming the presidency as the democratically elected leader of the country in 1999.

Before Mr Obasanjo took office, Mr Abubakar’s government had delivered a clear message that the late Abacha had looted huge sums, and they had to be restored. Members of the Abacha family and some of their accomplice then ‘voluntarily’ returned about $1 billion to the Federal Government. In 2002, the Obasanjo administration tentatively came to an agreement with the Abacha family to return another $1 billion out of the $1.1 billion that had been identified, traced and frozen, with the quid pro quo that the Abachas would be allowed to keep balance that had been assessed not to be of criminal origin.

The arrangement was not well received by the masses. Although the proposal caused a massive outcry for seeming to reward the theft of public funds, it was subsequently rejected by the late dictator’s son, Mohammed Abacha, who continued to maintain that all the assets in question were legitimately acquired. The highest sum that had in the past been traced to the family ranged from $3 billion to $5 billion, which includes money allegedly derived from misappropriation of funds from the Central Bank of Nigeria, bribes received from multi-nationals, among others.

The Swiss government last December said that it has so far returned to Nigeria the sum of $700 million stolen by the late dictator and deposited in several Swiss banks. In addition to freezing about $640 million, the Swiss judicial authorities handling the case have also indicted Mohammed Abacha and Atiku Bagudu under Swiss legislation regarding money laundering, fraud and taking part in a criminal organisation.

I say it again:

Abacha never looted how could he have outperformed the current pdp govt, whilst earning a tenth of their revenue from crude oil exports, and still find money to loot?

[b][size=18pt]Abacha never looted.

The money repatriated by Obasanjo was from one of Obj's or his associates swiss accounts and had nothing to do with Abacha.

Obasanjo accused Abacha initially of looting $6billion, yet only approx half a Billion dollars were ever returned; and even that returned money is untraceable.

The whole repatriation of looted funds was a scam by Obj, IBB and his cousin Abdulsalami Abubakar to convince Nigerians that Abacha looted.

Abacha ruled when oil was selling as low as $9 per Barrel (Today oil prices averages $110 per barrel)

Yet :
Abacha refused IMF loans and their economic dictates

He maintained a strong Naira at N22 = $1

He raised fuel prices by only N6 per litre, and used the revenue generated to fund the Petroleum Trust Fund which he entrusted to the non-corrupt Buhari to be used to maintain and improve infrastructure. He never sold fuel for more than N14 per litre.

He reduced our debt by $9bn

He increased our reserves by $9bn

He reduced inflation from 60% to 8%

He built the national hospital in Abuja

he built the largest housing estate in Africa

He delivered 2 olympic gold medals

He delivered AFCON and in the process gave Nigeria Steven Keshi

He fulfilled our role as an African superpower by intervening in Sierra Leone and Liberia.

All this while earning as little as $9 per barrel from crude sales.

He would have to have been a magician to find any money to loot as well.

He re-surrected the War against Indiscipline and corruption.

He created 6 states.

World bank estimates that approx $200bn has been looted from Nigeria since Abacha died, yet gullible Nigerians are only focussing on "recovering" the fathom $2Bn money Abacha was falsely accused of looting.


Weep for your country oo!
