Maybe as a democratic government, he might Do well but as a military government, he was the worst thing to happen to humanity.
He’s power drunk and always have his way due to the military setting.

Some people need to be killed or die before this country will progess. Look at Ghana and China. They made such sacrifices.

LOL...a lot of people have this 'let's kill some people for the country to progress'..it does not work that way

1.Ghana.

Yeah, JJ got rid of some past army leaders,...some, not all. And even then, Ghana today is not that far ahead of Nigeria...infact there were mass protests against the goverment over a year ago. Ghana is also not a developed country.

2. China.


As for china...it was not killing millions of people under Mao's misguided programmes that led to China prospering. It was the decision made, in the late 1970's, to pursue free market economics, as well as to invest and allow for investment in industrial growth and development...fueled by one thing Mao did right...investing in vocational and technical education.

Also, improvements in tech, as well as the growth of the world economy allowed many Western companies to take advantage of China and its cheap labour.

The result....China's economy grew. EVEN THEN...china still has a poverty issue.

Considering how politicians have turned the country into under so called democracy, Abacha is a good man. killing and destroying lives under a Khaki or in a civilian clothes, all causes same effect. And with democracy as practised in this part of the world, there is no hope to remedy it.

Agreed.

You have discovered that these two nations are not perfect yet but enjoyed some growth.
All we see here in Nigeria is setbacks.

Nope. Ghana is still at Nigeria's level. China is better

And they did not get there by killing people. Killing bad leaders is nice, but it does not change anything much...it is polices , policies, and people's will to implement, and even then a long period of hardship.

A big problem in Nigeria is that we think that good governance involves government giving us a 50kg bag of rice at N2000 a bag. Nothought for the people who grew the rice, who transported the rice and who are selling the rice. Somehow goverment will pay them...from monies that do not exist...which means we take more loans.

All those developed countries....like Russia, Japan, China, and so on..went through periods of harship to get to where they are...and they did not get there by expecting government to take care of them without any idea as to how they would get the money to do so.

You see all of these are my thoughts as well. I am not antagonizing your views because I know great nations made sacrifices and they still pay for everything they enjoy.


But when it comes to implementing policies, we really suck at that. That is why reward and punishment as sources of motivation will go a long way to achieve Behavioural Change.

The people to implement the policies are Nigerians who have a bad mindset from the top offices down to the bottom. What do you do to them when they don't comply or enforce with the policies?

We shouldn't be talking about the legacy of military dictators who stole power by the barrel of the gun. They have no legacy except illegally shooting their way into an office nobody voted them into

In serious democracies, such desports would be tried and jailed for such illegal acts

OP, was Sani Abacha a President?

Unintelligent, backward, village uproots escape to city and start to form academia, throwing bullshit questions left and right?

Abacha was a Head of State, and the worst in Africa.
