The man who looted Nigeria to a dry land

Rip to the dead

Shagari's government successfully laid the solid foundation of corruption and/or looting of public funds in Nigeria. Subsequent governments just built on the foudation and the house(corruption) is standing strong today and going from strength to strength. I don't blame him though, i only blame Obasanjo who helped him rig the election and influence and manipulated court decisions. Awolowo is the best president Nigeria never had.
