I thought abacha was the best president in Nigeria as they said.

Sonnobax15:

Abacha that year cha

The man after devil's heart herself

The day this dude's death broke out,many men couldn't perform with their wives cuz many of them drank to stupor out of joy



As for the stove,I didn't see it,cuz not everybody was broke then

Biodun556:
I think it was around 1994/95

There was no kerosene for long time, people had to devise means by using saw dust with paint containers

Kalulu44:
It wasn't 1994/5. It was between 1996 - 1998 when Abacha died. And some people continue using it till early 2000

Predictor3:
Not everyone saw it. I lived in Eleyele Ibadan then. I think it was around 94. Our compound was large and not floored so we could use firewood instead.

wonder233:
It was 1994/95 in Benin City. I remember going with my mum to join a crowd of people at sawmill to hustle for the sawdust.
The idea behind this was to minimise the amount of firewood you will use to cook. Because firewood itself had become very expensive after kerosene became unavailable.

fxdee:
I used it when i was growing up around 1983-1987. my house was very close to a sawmill and it was easier for us getting saw dust .we used it to cook beans mainly on Saturdays but not because we were suffering then sha..it was just basically childhood experiences...

Kalulu44:
You may not have used it agreed, but don't tell me you didn't see people use it, if you didn't see don't also tell me you didn't hear about it. Except you don't read papers or watch television is

Predictor3:
I never said I didn't hear people used it. My cousin visited on holiday around that time and said instead of firewood that we were using they were using something called saw dust stove in Osun state..

But I never saw it. Up till today I don't know how they "operated" it. I think it had to do with the fact that there was no saw mill anywhere close to my neighborhood

Jakarta:
My family used it wella around the year 1999 - 2002, scooping free saw dust from the saw mill. Myself and my peers then always show our saw dust moulding skills, fun memories.

Buharidgeneral:

Proximity to sawmill is the major determinant. There is no low income earners leaving closed to sawmills who did not use it.

Some fuulish* people are still saying Abacha's era was better

This stove is a symbol of the prevailing poverty of that era, spiced with brutality never seen in the history of Nigeria.

Assassination was so rampart people became used to the news, talk and you go down. GenZ will never understand or imagine that era, it was like North Korea

NB: I am not supporting the recklessness of today's political class,if they are not careful history will repeat itself..

Nah! Not for those of us who experienced his rule first hand. Just that the economy was still a bit strong but we were being terrorised into submission against our collective will for true democracy. We couldn't even express our views freely in public spaces after a while for fear of being picked up or....Long story!
