Jakumo:

In Nigeria there exists a complete lexicon of automobile names and part descriptions that are all unique and understandable ONLY to Nigerians.

As an example, "Mental and Main Boris" , translated from Nigerianese, refers to engine crankshaft bearing sets, which generally include both the MAIN, engine-block pair of bearings, and the bearing set for the piston connecting rods.

With this mind, can somebody please post a picture here to educate those of us who would not recognize an End Of Discussion Honda even if we were run over by one ?

gang of suspected armed robbers, on Wednesday night, besieged one of the homes of the late General Sani Abacha in the metropolitan area of Kano, shooting the last son of the departed ruler, Alhaji Al-Mustapha Abacha somewhere near his stomach. A police source told Daily Sun that apart from Al-Mustapha, other persons sustained injuries, adding that those injured have been rushed to an undisclosed hospital. Daily Sun was told that the shootout was sequel to the prompt response by Abacha’s bodyguards complimented by the resourcefulness of the police officers from the Nassarawa Police Division, whose office block is a stone -throw from the scene of the gun battle. The incident happened at about 6.30pm at one of the Abacha’s properties, located on Bank Road in Nassarawa area. Members of the Abacha family, especially Mohammed had, from time to time, quartered themselves in the brick-painted building as an alternative to the family house situated on Gidado Road. The five-member gang, it was gathered, came in a grey coloured End-of- Discussion Honda car and quietly made their way into the compound where they accosted Hajia Zainab Abacha, one of the daughters of the late General and demanded for money. It was learnt that Zainab had no immediate cash to dispense with and was in a fix trying to negotiate a way out when things suddenly went out of hand. The source told the Daily Sun that when the robbers took over the big house, they first arrested everybody within sight and seized all their handsets to ensure that none of them could contact the outside world. According to the source, unfortunately for the robbers just when they were certain that everybody was under check, the unexpected happened. They did not realize that not everybody in the building at that moment had been arrested. The source said that Al-Mustapha was actually in the kitchen, eating a light meal when the tragic scene began to unfold in the house. Hiding in the kitchen he secretly put a distress call across to his elder brother, Mohammed, but was caught in the act, a reason he was instantly shot. The source went further to state that Mohammed, on getting the message, quickly alerted their bodyguards as well as called in the police for help, leading to both teams storming the building within minutes. One of the robbers was arrested after he was shot twice in the leg as he made his escape from the troubled spot. The first shot came from the officers from Nassarawa Division while the second shot came from the bodyguards who gallantly defended their principal’s interest. Equally, some guns, were recovered from the robbers as they dropped everything on them and fled for their lives. The End-of- Discussion Honda Car used for the operation had been taken to the Bompai Headquarters of the Police Command. The state Police Commissioner, Mr. Ibrahim K Idris has visited the scene of the crime to make a personal assessment even as it was gathered that the arrested suspect has been cooperating in the investigation. State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Magaji Majiya confirmed the robbery attack on the Abachas and said that, the police responded quickly and positively, adding that the robbers did not take any property out of the house. He also said that investigation is in progress, even as he assured the people of the Kano State of the readiness of the Police command to secure life and property.

The source must be one busybody, y d guy no chop heavy meal?

Sagamite:

Fantastic!

Standing ovation for these national heroes that went to take back what is theirs.

These are the kinds of people Jonathan should be giving national honours.

JamesDoe:

Was that an armed robbery or a "repossession"? Abacha's family should be made to prove ownership of the items repossessed from them, after all there is no honour amongst thieves.

I hope his son fully recovers.

GenBuhari:

Why all this hate against the Abacha family?

Do you realise that Abacha's government was one of the most responsible and progressive and best performing governments in our history?

Iam personally not convinced that Abacha looted any money from Nigeria.

Obasanjo the biggest looter in African history probed Abacha blindly, for 10years so that we can be confused and deflect our focus about who really ruined Nigeria at that point in 1999 - Babangida.

After 10 years of probing Abacha, where is the money that Obasanjo said he recovered? What did he do with it?

Was the money discovered in foreign accounts actually placed there by Babangida, to help convince Nigeria that he had looted?

Obasanjo accused Abacha of having embezzled $6bn in the end they revised it down to $1.2bn yet say that he recovered $650m from foreign banks, but can not show evidence of where they have put the money.

All the people who have worked with Abacha, they have all said that they do not believe he looted.

If indeed Buhari actually also said Abacha never looted, then I am inclined to believe Buhari as he himself is a honest man and has no reason to be protecting Abacha.

We need to educate ourselves properly about our history, because all our news papers and media are owned by corrupt elite who are all spreading confusion and misinformation to the masses, to deflect attention from the trillions of Naira they have looted.

Sagamite:

You are a cretin!

Fooooool!

If indeed Buhari actually also said Abacha never looted, then I am inclined to believe Buhari as he himself is a honest man and has no reason to be protecting Abacha.

GenBuhari:

@Sagamite,
so you have no reasoned argument to make?

Are you not the person trying to convince us some time ago that Obasanjo was the greatest leader we ever had?

Between you and I it is not difficult to know who is more misinformed.

You need to visit my thread on Nigeria's history and pay attention to the Abacha era and then ask yourself what would prompt a blind probe of a government that had performed so well, other than pre-planned plot to assassinate his character after his assassination, to deflect attention from the really enemies of the state who had just stolen back power by poisoning Abacha.

I rest my case!! 

GenBuhari:

You seem to have difficulty assimilating information.

First off, I said I doubted Abacha looted from Nigeria, doubted being the operative word here.

Do not forget he also had adventures in  Sierra Leone and Liberia and may well have been handsomely personally rewarded for his intervention in the diamond rich country.

I said that even though it was reported that money was recovered from foreign banks, allegedly from a bank account belonging to Abacha, Obasanjo has not been able to demonstrate to Nigeria where this recovered money is.

There can be a number of reasons for this;

1) There was not any money recovered and press were delibrately fed with information that Foreign bank refunded the money.

2) The money was planted in the foreign account by Babangida, to add credence to their plot to frame Abacha, hence reason why money was never paid into treasury coffers.

3)The money was recovered  but looted straight away

I think that scenario 1) is very probable as it is clear that Babangida /Obasanjo had set out to frame Abacha, otherwise they should not have had any reason  to probe the  one of the best performing  governments (economically) in nigeria's histo



Some questions for you to ponder:
Why was it that when Swiss legal team came to Nigeria to collect evidence about the money that Obasanjo was saying Abacha had looted , nobody turned up to meet them and they had to return to Switzerland after 2days of waiting.

GenBuhari:

^^
What do you know about the Swiss legal process and the court cases Obasanjo started?

The lawyers use the evidence presented by Swiss Banks and Obasanjo (lets face it neither are non for their honesty and intefrity)

You need to stop being abusive, it takes away from any point you wish to make, as it indicates that  you are not confident enough in your own position, to rely purely on the points you are making.

GenBuhari:

I are just being abusive because you have no reasoned argument to put forward.

I ask you again what do know about the court case?

What evidence do you have Abacha family were represented in court, other than information passed to the press by same Obasanjo and Swiss bankers?

Do you realise that most of Nigeria's news media is owned by Obasanjo or IBB?

let me guess your response:

You are going to write FOOOL, CRETIN, slowpoke RIGHT?
