You better be silent if you don't know what to say and be eating your rice gently in your house, if not for prayers of the faithful you've been a refugee in another man's land. Do you know there plan for this country?

So will it be for those trying to do the same!

Abacha is far better better than Buhari. He fought his fellow politicians but work more on infrastructures and was doing well with the masses. Though he looted but better than this self acclaimed saint.

If you qoute or attack me on this comment thunder will fire you this morning.

Unknown to Abacha the Pope's plea for the release of political prisoners was his last chance at keeping his life. The planning of his death was undergoing.... they couldn't get close till the visit of Yasser Arafat.

Then Yasser Arafat's aide shook Abacha's hand. That was the final end.

Abacha was Nigeria's Gaddafi, who wanted to bring development across the country. The largest housing estate project in Africa is in Gwarinpa Abuja started by Abacha.
He established PTF which he unfortunately handed over to a bigoted Buhari who used it to promote himself in the North, not much got to the South East and South South which was never the intention of Abacha, now this is the reason Abacha us loved in the SE/SS which confuses Yorubas. Govt house in Yenagoa is named after him.

Some of the monies said to be looted where actually plans of circumventing sanctions by the West against Nigeria, I am not saying he was not corrupt.
Abacha is better than Buhari anyway.
Abacha had his vision 2010 which he was following diligently despite Yoruba led NADECO propaganda of Tinubu and his cohorts.

Please, don't drag the South South into your unfortunate madness. If you Igbos have no knowledge of history, that is your problem. Abacha killed Alfred Rewane, Killed Kenule Saro Wiwa and 8 other Ogoni men and poured acid on their corpses and one Igbo fool is saying Abacha was loved in the SS. Is your father mad?

Wherever you see a thief or a criminal, there would always be an Igbo man ready to defend him and his crimes.

Learnt the Pope departed wearing black. How true, historians

1 or 2 days later, he hanged Ken Saro-Wiwa and others. After paying deaf ears to the pope's plea.


One day before he was to kill Obasanjo, Diya and others, he died.

Childhood memories. This man was a beast!

Don't mind that Igbo fool. The SS are not aszlickers like Igbos. They should not drag the SS into their poo-eating madness. It is only stupidity and inferiority complex that makes someone be asslicking a dead man.

Abacha killed Ogoni sons and one Igbo fool said SS loves Abacha. You fools would eventually be taught a bitter lesson.

Re: Pope John Paul Visited Abacha And His Family In Nigeria In 1998 (Throwback) by uniklens: 8:29am On Mar 09, 2020
General Sani Abacha was all smiles when he received John Paul. He looked dignified in his white outfit and bore little semblance to the stone-faced military dictator everyone perceived him to be. He introduced the pope to every member of his family at the state house. The atmosphere seemed calm and interesting considering that the pope’s visit was an unofficial one but that did not erase the fact that Nigerians were under a repressive government and many outspoken critics of the government were behind bars. Significantly, Chief Moshood Abiola was still in prison and the hanging of Ken Saro Wiwa and other Ogboni leaders had led to the suspension of Nigeria from the Commonwealth. In spite of all these, Abacha seemed unfazed as he received the Pope in Nigeria for three days.

Abacha was corrupt but better than the "saint" we have today.

Abacha built Gwarinpa Estate (biggest in Africa), Built Abuja and most of the infrastructure built in his time stands the test of time.

What are the legacies of current saints in government

Amen and Amen.

Bro let them try it a million times it would fail. The Land called Nigeria no one can singlehandedly overrun it such plan will fail and end in disgrace for whoever dares it.

And for those trying they have seen it won't work they boko haram yet it never work, they fulaherds monsters yet it never work, they ISWAP yet it never work, they banditry yet it never work rather it is them that planned the islamination paying the prize with their wives, kids, fathers, mothers blood and they will by themselves wipe their region out of Nigeria map and that is what I'm praying for.
