Hemanwel:
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.
But Peter OBI will not become history right.

The mumu Peter OBI want Tinubu to be organizing their party for them. Tinubu will also help you campaign against himself and assign your polling boot agents for you.

Mumu man and his followers 😆

"The story of the Bamaiyi brothers and many others should teach any sane human being that power is transient, and don't last forever. Only what you did with the power, POSITIVE or NEGATIVE last forever...."
Aptly submitted. The Bamayis, the Zuru Generals were notably famous back then.

Adolph Hitler, Sanni Abacha, Hamzat Al-Mustapha, Frank Omenka, Tunde Kogun, Mobutu Seseko, and many other tyrannical leaders of yesteryears have all had their time in history and providence have sent them out of reckoning.

The current intoxicated power drunk fellas should take a leaf from the past. So, be careful whatever you do today with any privilege you have

Whatever you do, make sure you keep your hands clean and flee from every form of evîl you can think of.

Remember, you don't know when death will knock on your door.

A word is enough for the wise.

I've forgotten they existed.

There was a time when you couldn't put on the TV and hear bamaiyi called for one reason or the other.

Ishaya has been quiet he didn't even bother with politics like the rest of his fellows.

Humans will never learn. Just look at what is happening in the country today. The same trend is it. Those in the corridors of power are behaving as if the world is theirs and that things will continue as they want or determine. Ten kings ten times!

He can't come to Nigeria 👌💯
He is an intelligent guy, he left the country immediately Abacha died; he didn't even attend his burial. I believe if he come back now, nothing will happen to him since other accusers in the regime has been discharged and acquitted.

Ishaya was the one who was always hiding recording tapes in his uniform to record whatever negative statements any general made against Abacha for onward transmission to Abacha.

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.
Hmm! A terrible era indeed. Living in fear on a daily basis then.

We continue to thank God for His divine intervention before life became unbearable.

Power is transient.
But Nigeria have a Tinubu that is making a provision to stay longer and remain relevant. And some people are risking it all to allow it
Tinubu has never said he would stay beyond 8years and no one sensible will support that.

No matter what happened during the Abacha days, Nigerians lived well. Presently it is a complete shame. No government has made Nigerians pass through such misery, until APC entered power in 2015.
