...but quite unfortunately they never learn from history. The truth is that the current crop of corrupt and power intoxicated leadership will all be forgotten in the next 10 years.

Why those aforementioned are assumed to be having peace of mind wherever they are,such can not be said about those evil leaders that passed away.Even if you do not believe in the religious view,nature has a way of rewarding bad or good.
While their offspring here on earth may equally bear some of the consequences of their evil parents, Idi Amin,Mobutu Seseseko or even Osama Bin Laden's son will almost always need to hide their identities,as many people still bear grudges with their parents and often see these kid's as coming from evil offspring.

President Tinubu will also become history like them. He has been the one behind the problems in opposition parties like LP, PDP, etc, just to turn Nigeria to a one-party State.

Since he fell-out with the north, he has been restless about the possibility of his 2027 re-election. Reason why he wants to turn the country to a one-party State.

Peter Obi didn't lie about saying Tinubu is the architect of the problem in the Labour Party. Everyone knows. There's no amount of effort to reconcile the party that will yield results.

You just admitted that Tinubu is way far more smarter than Peter Obi, Atiku, Ameachi combined.

Is it you or Obi that will live forever? Dey console yourself with rubbish. It is constitutionsal and we all know Tinubu will be president for 8 years, God sparing all our lives. He doesn't and none of his supporters expect him to be there forever. Same with Buhari and other past presidents in our democracy.

I am not sure what the point of this article is as both brothers are remembered for almost nothing positive.

Ishaya is remembered as one of the most two faced and corrupt COAS in history, with almost none of his peers having anything positive to say about him.

While the elder brother Musa is mainly remembered for violence and accusing this same Ishaya of sleeping with his wife.

This is not a family to be proud of at all.

Are sure of what you are saying. I'm privileged to had interacted with both of them but can't actually deduce much about them. However, my little knowledge of them is that they hadly relate with each other.

If late Musa Bamaiyi was the head of state, he would have been a far worse dictator than late Abacha.
Musa Bamaiyi raided car shops on Ojuelegba road, Victoria Island, Mobolaji bank Anthony way, etc and everywhere he saw car shops. He seized them all accusing car dealers of being drug peddlers. Many were tortured and many closed their shops for the fear of the man. He was very brutal and mean.

The story went out then that his senior brother, Ishaya Bamaiyi lost his wife to him, or the other way round. Anyway, one took over the wife of the other and they were never close. They disliked each other.

The elder one was the Army chief of staff. It was he who was detained, where he met Fred Ajudua and was swindled 2m dollars. While his brother was busy torturing people, he was a very wealthy man in dollars. I think the case remains in court till today.

Their days were horrible days for Nigerian citizens. The Chairman of the task force on telecoms was a very brutal person. I forgot his name. He was a Major from the Southwest or so. If you owed a huge sum in Nitel bills, they would easily invade your home, beat the hell out of you and force you both to bribe and pay the bills. The task force raided market women, seizing their goods, destroying their tables, arresting them, throwing them into Black Maria, trying them in emergency courts that same night and jailing them all. Many people languished in Kirikiri and Ikoyi prisons in Lagos, without their family members able to locate them.

Abacha government should not be experienced anymore please in this country.

You can't say much on their state of sojourn in the life after! Perhaps they seek the face of God for forgiveness before death came knocking.
