anonimi:Burial or Memorial, it all about the dead. Even Adolf Hitler was called a good man and a relentless hero despite being a world reknowned criminal. Afghanistan's alway see see Osama bin laden as their hero and legend. It is Hausa mentality, they believe in themselves. Jonathan gave the same Abacha national award and gave his son who also stole a presidential pardon |

Buhari's change epitomizes a backward change. Goodluck to all APC goons routing for a backward change. I'd rather #GoForward! |

BEFORE I CAN SUPPORT BUHARI, ! Before I can consider joining the BB Train. Below are my concerns: I thought it was the rot of the SHAGARI Government, then followed by the decay of the Military ERA and climaxing with the STENCH of the ABACHA Government (of which GENERAL BUHARI WAS PART AND PARCEL) that 'brought Nigeria to a dangerous and sorry state, a state that life has become short and brutal', and from which it has still not recovered since then. PLEASE CHECK YOUR HISTORY AND YOUR FACTS! The often MOUTHED BUHARI ERA and REGIME (of NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO) used as a reference point by his 'admirers' and apologists, was marked by BRUTE FORCE, LACK OF VISION, LACK OF POLITICAL IDEOLOGY AND AGENDA AND ANY ECONOMIC POLICY, BUT FOUNDED ON GRA-GRA. In fact, the ONLY ECONOMIC policy that I can still remember and associate his regime with was the era of ESSENTIAL COMMODITY (ESSENCO), where people were being BULLIED, WHIPPED AND FORCED TO SELL THEIR OWN wares and goods (NOT GOVERNMENT OWNED) BY FORCE. BUHARI SHUT DOWN NEWSPAPER HOUSES AND HARASSED JOURNALISTS AND THREW THEM IN GULLAGS OR SENT THEM TO GALLOWS. BUHARI'S GALLOWS OR GULAGS, UNDER THE SSS (OR NSO) WERE NOT FIT FOR HUMANS. And this contributed largely to the DEATH of some of those that were SELECTIVELY and UNLAWFULLY DETAINED there. PLAIN MURDER. BUHARI passed OBNOXIOUS LAWS, including RETROSPECTIVE LAWS and MURDERED INDIVIDUALS, SIMPLY FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING. BUHARI ABUSED THE DIGNITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL and CRATED HIM like a CHICKEN, while attempting to UNLAWFULLY EXPORT HIM OUT OF THE UK, IN GROSS ABUSE OF THE PERSON'S DIGNITY, AND IN CONTRAVENTION OF INTERNATIONAL LAWS. BUHARI WATCHED ABIOLA JAILED AND DIE IN JAIL in the HANDS of ABACHA, while he watched and carried on BUSINESS AS USUAL SERVING AND WORKING FOR THE SAME ABACHA'S GOVERNMENT. BUHARI WATCHED ON AND WATCHED JUNE 12 DIE IN THE HANDS OF ABACHA. BUHARI also WATCHED KEN SAROWIWA MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY THE SAME ABACHA GOVERNMENT, while HE (BUHARI) WATCHED ON and carried on BUSINESS AS USUAL. AS ALWAYS, AND CONVENIENTLY, BUHARI SAW NO EVIL AND HEARD NO EVIL ABOUT THOSE ATROCITIES. HE SAW NO EVIL AND HEARD NO EVIL EVEN WHEN LATE PRESIDENT YARADUA LEFT NIGERIA IN AUTO PILOT STATE AND 'RULED' FROM THE 'GRAVE' (a la ANDOAKAH) NEED I SAY MORE? NEED I CONTINUE AND REMIND YOU WHY BUHARI IS NOT FIT OR QUALIFIED TO BE ANYWHERE ELSE THAN AT THE HAGUE AND ANSWERING TO HIS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY?---karlmax2 |

Abacha stoled nothing, compared to the scientific criminals we have today under GEJ govt. Abacha was a saint, I wish the dead could defend themselves in the grave. GEJ govt has wrecked Nigeria in every area. |

When compared to the stealing going on under Jonathan, it is true that Abacha never stole. Seriously, who cares about what Buhari said in 2008 when some don't care about what Jonathan is doing in 2014. |

pendy79:Hmmmmm I guess Buhari's judgement depends on his mood at any given time that is why he executed Barthlomew Owoh whose offence was not punishable by death at the time Buhari snuffed life out of him! If Abacha did not steal any money, then which Abacha loot did the US return to Nigeria? I will NEVER defend anybody unless God says that person is clean. Buhari's speech and events since then clearly shows that he defended or protected Abacha wrongly. If he admits his error then he is a clean man otherwise, he is just as bad as the man he defended or protected! Truth, just like God, lives forever! |

So they dig this up becos of buhari By Ibrahim Shuaibu Kano — The late military Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, did not loot the national treasury contrary to the general impression, two military former heads of state have said. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, who ruled Nigeria between 1983 and 1985, and his successor, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, gave Abacha the clean bill in Kano yesterday after the rememberance prayers marking 10 years of the death of Abacha, who ruled between 1993 and 1998. Abacha was accused of stealing nearly £5 billion while in office, out of which over $1 billion has reportedly been recovered from various sources around the world. But Babangida, who described Abacha as a "courageous, loyal and honest military head of state who stood for the unity and development of the country during his years in government", has dismissed the allegations. He said the looting allegations against Abacha were unfounded and baseless, stressing that "it is not true that he looted public treasury. I knew who Abacha was because I was close to him". Babangida said: "Abacha was a courageous person who stood firmly in handling the affairs of the country during his regime." He added that the regime of Abacha brought positive changes in the country which should have been emulated. He said 10 years after the death of Abacha, his contributions to the nation's economy remain indelible. "There is no doubt, during his administration as head of state, Abacha contributed his best to the nation's economy which we are still enjoying," he said. Babangida's new position however contrasts with what he told Newswatch magazine in July 2000. He had said: "The revelations [on Abacha's loot] surprised me. I am surprised, because I didn't know." He had also explained that Abacha's death brought "relative stability", adding that "it gives us, oh well, let's see, there is hope after all". Babangida, in that interview, also blamed the society for allowing Abacha to grow into the dictator he became. "I feel bad that society failed to realise that they have a duty to protect whatever values they hold dear to their hearts as far as this country is concerned. At any rate, there are people I like and do respect those who stood against the regime, who are not military officers but civilians who are able to speak out. They didn't mince words and if their views had been heard, he wouldn't have [done enough harm]," he had said in response to a question. Buhari, in his own comments yesterday, described the allegations of looting against Abacha as "baseless", because according to him, "ten years after Abacha, those allegations remain unproven because of lack of facts". While also commenting, former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who took over when Abacha died on June 8, 1998, commended his predecessor for initiating Vision 2010, saying that the economic vision of the present administration termed Vision 2020 is a replica of Abacha's 2010 initiative. Abubakar also tasked Nigerian politicians to concentrate on how best to contribute to national development instead wasting time and money investigating their predecessors, adding that probing past administrations "does not yield anything positive to the nation and should be discouraged". Babangida also spoke on the probe of his government by the immediate past administration, saying: "We are still waiting for the outcome of the probe." The three former leaders sat close to one another during the special prayer session which started exactly 10am and lasted for over one hour at an open compound belonging to the family of the former head of state. The prayer session was attended by former Abacha's aides, Emirs of Hadejia, Gumel, Jema'a and Chief Fredrick Fasehun of Odua Peoples Congress |
