ABACHA THE SILLY FULANI MAN

Not that he couldn't...just that his trademark glasses was made not to see outside africa or could not detect foreign securitymen.like cia,fbi,kgb and mossad.

Check your facts well. Buhari didn't build any refinery
Perhaps he completed the Warri refinery or started the porthacult 2 refinery.... I know he once claimed he built the four refineries in Nigeria, which isn't true

The man was not popular with the EU, UK or US due to his brutality

Nigeria was also facing sanctions from these countries

So it would not have been possible to host such a dictator

Don’t spin this reality into some pan African foreign policy. Abacha did not have a foreign policy and only cared about remaining in office forever

/
US will never turn her back on a leader because of brutality. They supported Sadam Hussein, Gaddafi, etc until US "interests" are at stake. Dictator is the bad name they tag a dissenter before they overthrow him. Believe their PR media at your own peril. Do they abhor dictators? Why are they negotiating with Russia and North Korea?

Record high unemployment? I am confused , never before has poverty and unemployment exceeded the record of the current govt with over 79 million extremely poor people ( highest ever in human history anywhere) and over 15 million jobs totally lost yet you are part of the people still canvassing for the second for such poor performance.. Deji don't you think you are a hypocrite at this stage ...

Nigeria under Abacha was a million times more secure than it is today with over 20 thousands lives lost in just 3 years to insecurity under Buhari as compared to less than 700 under Abacha ( yet you still support Buhari)..

Its on record that Abacha built more hospital than the current Buhari govt and fixed more road , then our roads were safe you could travel at night without fear of being robbed by herdsmen .. Apart from rampart fuel shortage under Abacha there is no basis of comparison between Abacha and the failed Buhari you currently support.

Bros no go there o.Both Abacha and Buhari dey mad!

OP stop telling lies in broad daylight. The man could not travel outside because he was going to be arrested, tried and jailed for crimes against humanity. Stop trying to spin it like he did not want to go to 'the abroad' like everyone else.

@mmb & others lk him:you must be a minor. And for ur information, only Chief Adekunle Ajasin is the leader that can be described as a leader who never travelled outside African shores.Only but once he travelled out was to the shore to Fourah Bay College,his alma mater in Siera Leone during his tenure as governor of Ondo state.No other leader. Abacha is a pariah stateman who exported bilions of our petrol dollar money to Europe& America.

Okay indeed with the invention of Abacha stove, what I however feel, is that Abacha would have succeeded to a large extent cleansed our political system of all the useless old elders that are still dictating the polity now, the likes of OBJ, Tinubu would have been history by now.
Though the cleansing might appear to be targeting people from the south, his audacity to have arrested a powerful northern figure like Shehu Yar,ádua is a pointer that he does not care about your location if you are disturbing the polity, Sgt. Roger will go after you.
yardua was not from south

Well, you are confused because u dont think deeply , employment rate now is better than under Abacha, not because PMB is doing a good Job.Its because the new democratical setting under OBJ brought new policies, brought millions of new Job. Ths Telecom industry, modern banking system, E.T;c likewise Yardua/GEJ policies in railways revalitization, Power, Agric etc .So do you think all the jobs created in these sectors will vanish just like that , People are still selling recharge card, there are ATM managers, people , there software programmer that keep the Bank systems running, Street sweepers,There are people still working in Shoprite, they are came back after Abacha...under PMB we can lose some job but we cant get as low as Abacha era...
Security, since i was born the North has always been flashpoint of religious and ethnic violence even some part of the SW Ife/ modakeke killings etc happened throughout may stay in OAU.Maybe on a lower scale, those killings were not properly documented, but they were as bad as now.
Armed robbery were rampant like i said e.g Lagos to ibadan, drivers plyin the road normally drive in the middle to avoid being robbed by "Rim Throwers".Almost every house in my area were robbed during this era.
Roads in my part of SW were dilapidated even MM airport under Aabcha was an eyesore the stench of the toilets filled with feaces is still in my nostril 22 years after i passed through that airport , AC was not working, when i passed through the same Airport under OBJ/GEJ i met it in a better condtion.
I was treated in of Abacha Hospital when i injured my shoulder in Ibadan ...no doctor, they didn have common bandage, i was adviced to use a wrapper as a bandage, before i was rushed to a private hospital
i wasnt comparing Abacha era with Pmb, even if u do Naija is far better than under Abacha
