How Abacha the killer of Kudirat and menace to NADECO which was mainly a pan-yoruba movement suddenly becomes worshipped by Awolowo's tribesmen baffles me.
Who send Abacha?

God go punish both Babangida, Abacha and Ojukwu

Unlike you, evil don't all of a sudden become good in the eyes of Yoruba, we don't have over inflated ego that needs to be be constantly massaged like you do. We say what people do good or bad.

Abacha had his vices no doubt.
But he wont lie on a dead man.

He wasn't that kind of weak man.
I pray my friends stand up for me even when i am dead.

Thats why i cut my friends off, once i hear or notice you act differently behind my back.
Was it IBB who told Abacha to arrest and jail Mko? U guys better face the real villan and leave IBB and his story alone. Abacha was not innocent in June 12 incident.

How can hardship end me when I have laid the foundation for a good decent life. You, on the other hand, would most likely die in penury because the stolen funds you are spending and making a mockery of others WILL NOT last you your lifetime. I pray your offsprings are nothing like you and please go for a vasectomy, poor fool.
Decent life yet you are struggling to feed, isn't that funny? grin
Just because your Aba died in penury does not mean everyone will face same fate. I will conveniently sponsor your entire life style grin

IBB in his book said nothing but trying to impress the ibos so that they will look up to him for directives for Presidential race come 2027
I tell you i had the greatest shock of my life when I discovered that someone like IBB could press the mumu button of ibos after Kanu and epa brainwashed them front, back and center for over seven consecutive years now. I never imagined an ordinary Aboki could brainwashed them and become their hero in a jiffy. An Aboki dictator for that matter

1990 coup. It was Abacha that save the lBB. He ibb shouldn't rewrite history. He should be blame solely for the annulment of the 1993 presidential election.

One thing I know is that Gen Sanni Abacha was more patriotic than all the clowns we have today
What if all the clawns decided to copy abacha by stashing all our resources to oversees country, make everyone pay for primary education at premium cost. Or do u think abacha was interested in you or me? Probably you didn't live during his reign.

Look at his children and grand children. They are richer than dangote and that's your wealth they are flaunting.

Nobody in Nigeria is worse than Abacha. His lineage till they all die in the shameful pit Abacha dug for them is one of curses. Nobody that is sane want Abacha name. Sorry your Grandfather is a thief, murderer and destroyed his lineage. You people are cursed.

See as you even de talk like person wen curse don kill. After your money is spent, you and your family members will beg to eat. Those that are smart will have to change name and denounce the cursed Abacha name to see food to eat and it will be food that dogs have eaten and vomited. It will never be well with Abacha and his lineage because Nigerians and the land called Nigeria has cursed them.
Don’t worry with the back and forth with people with slavish mindset, who feel people with money have a perfect life.

Abacha’s family that is plagued with junkies?

God dey fight the masses battle, even when we don’t know it.

Former military president, retired General Ibrahim Babangida, yesterday said his former Chief of Army Staff, then Lt-Gen. Sani Abacha, saved him when some young officers staged a bloody coup that nearly toppled his government.
Babangida who was answering questions from newsmen in Minna at a news conference to mark his 74th birthday, said at the heat of the coup which was announced by Major Gideon Gwaza Orkar on April 22, 1990, he got in touch with Sani Abacha who came to him for talks on the developments after which they rallied round loyal troops to rout the dissidents. “I can remember fairly well that I had some loyal officers who were supposed to be protectors and bodyguards attached to me. Initially, they said I should move and I told them no, I was not leaving Dodan Barracks. But they remained hard up and very tensed, but very resilient. Later, I carried my family outside Dodan Barracks and joined my guards in battle. So we went out of Dodan Barracks to a safe house where we got in contact with loyal troops. May God bless General Sani Abacha. Sani Abacha was then the Chief of Army Staff. We got in touch with him and told him what was happening and he came down. We talked on what we should do. We rallied round loyal troops and I left my safe house and joined Abacha in his house and that was what happened.”
Babangida praised on-going efforts by President Muhammadu Buhari on the many challenges facing the country, saying the president was on course.
The former military president also commended the current leadership for identifying the nation’s challenges and tackling them head-on. “I must commend the current leadership for identifying even before during and after the elections, some of the problems that are facing this country. Number one, it has to do with peace and security. The president has to identify the security of lives and property, the security of the state and this environment called Nigeria. That has been identified. And the second one of course is the way we live, the way we work and behave-corruption. The third has to do with economic development. All these have been identified and I think we should support the presidency towards enhancing security and especially, you the media, in wiping out corruption”, he said.
Babangida expressed optimism that the Buhari-led administration has the capacity to put the country on the path of development and growth. “So far I am confident that they are doing well, they have identified the problems and they look resolute in confronting these problems head-on. I’m confident they will succeed,” he noted. Babangida specifically praised the renewed war against terrorism despite its unconventional nature. “Yes the insurgents have to be fought. The renewed effort and fight the federal government is doing is very commendable. I think there is a general misunderstanding in the whole concept of insurgency. We are not fighting a regularly army where you can confront by use of force and weapons to overwhelm the enemy. No, you have got a small trained army the tactics of which was to inflict maximum casualty on “the so called enemy”. Inflict maximum casualty on him when and where he least expects it. They are not fighting a conventional war. That makes it exceptionally difficult. They blow our bridges, they blow up our barracks. So this is an unconventional war. We know that and the soldiers are trained for it as they deem necessary. I think the public should be educated about this unconventional warfare,” he said as he called for more of the training of military. “We did say in those days that no matter the kind of sophisticated weapons you have, it is not the weapon but the man behind the weapon. I do appreciate what they are trying to do but the military is trying its best. They acquired a lot of experience during and after the Second World War. They have excelled in other operations and other engagements within and outside the country. The level of training of the man behind the weapon matters,” he added.
On the federal government’s plan to dialogue with Boko Haram, the former military president said: “I think the president got it right. He said yes he would talk to people who are credible, who have been identified as genuine and authentic leaders of the terrorists. That the government would be ready to talk to them but so far apart from one or two variables we have not heard any other real leader. So I do not think the government will be ready to talk to people who are not worth talking to as far as these issues are concerned. So the government is right to be careful to identify and talk if there is anything to talk about.”
IBB also said the strategy adopted by the federal government in tackling corruption and recovering stolen funds from officials of the immediate past government was a step in the right direction. “When you talk of strategy, my boss former President Olusegun Obasanjo made a lot of recoveries during his time and his strategies are similar to those of the current government. So we should support what the president is trying to do to achieve the same objective. “If it is pursued vigorously, the government will be able to stamp out corruption and to bring to book those who are found culpable in stealing our wealth.

It's not a tribal thing. It's about calling telling the Nigerian story as it is.

Who organised election - ibb

Who dissolves the cabinet - ibb

Who annulled June 12 - ibb
Re: My Grandfather Saved The Life Of A Coward- Raeese Abacha by ToyinDipo(m): 7:15pm On Feb 23, 2025
IBB stated the fact, annulling the election was out of his hands. It was the northern leader that ensured that Abacha was the next leader, and considering that Abacha was the head of the military then, if IBB had sworn in Abiola, there would have been a coup the next day.
