Sani Abacha

And then I don't know where that girl went that she now just came.

She said that she was the girl that Sani Abacha was sleeping with when the man died.

And do you know who that girl is? That girl, her sister was Abacha's girlfriend, and her sister went to the presidential place, and the girl went to visit.

When Abacha saw her now, so, "Tonight I'm with you." He bought a brown ika for them.

Stolen money can be moved through foreign bank accounts and into foreign property markets.

Sani Abacha was the military dictator of Nigeria from 1993 to 1998.

He is considered perhaps the most corrupt person ever, definitely one of the most corrupt leaders of the entire 20th century.

He reportedly personally embezzled up to $5 billion of Nigerian government money.

Tinubu has done what...

Add up IBB, add up Abacha, add up, uh, General Abdusalam.

The way he is holding Nigeria, all of them are not doing it this way.

Well, what, what would he do?

and add SAW before he gives you a 30-minute breakdown lecture about the Civil War timeline between 1967 and 1970.

If you manage to survive that, he moves straight into the story of how Sani Abacha almost almost had him killed in 1997 or how he cut a bullet with his bare finger in 1999 this man has told me this story so many times that i can now narrate it myself in his voice with all his sound effects do you know that papachidi once told me that he has a gun in his apartment and will shoot anyone who dares to offend him now i must say that i do not believe him but I only have one life.

So, I had to respect myself and fear him.

In fact, everyone in the community fears him, including his children, other neighbors, the area boys, and even the local government chairman greets him with two hands.

But Bangida himself, three months later, was to suffer a palace coup.

He was overthrown by Sani Abacha, the notorious Sani Abacha, who then found a very fragile country because Abiola had won across the country and Sani Abacha was so insecure and you remember the major crackdown that he did.

Zambia.

has walked the path of nigeria in 1993 and i like that international journal the uk diplomatic a a a magazine online magazine that published those thoughts and i agree with you hichirima is walking us in the case of babangida and abiola where abiola wins the case he unleashes the army they are now the results they disrupt the totaling centers that we're counting and throws the winner of that election into prison.

in this situation?

Yeah, and I also served in Nigeria as deputy ambassador during the Abacha days.

Um, a couple of m- important points.

Number one, the US is not going to solve Nigeria's problem.

It doesn't rise to the level of the half billion that existed under USAID, but it's go- it's getting there.

200 million is, you know, less than half of what was going before, and we hope that the administration, of course, will do more.

Can I make just a quick addition? When I was, uh, deputy ambassador in Nigeria, um, because of Abacha, we threatened to withhold USAID, totally pull it out.

They laughed at us because Abacha was stealing more per day-

Looking at some key fact of the 1985 coup.

Orchestrated by Chief of Army Staff Major General Ibrahim, alongside key figures like Brigadier Sani Abacha and Colonel Joshua Dogonyaro.

Major General Muhammadu Buhari, who had himself come to power in a 1983 military coup.

The plotters cited strict, austere economic policies, human rights abuses, detentions without trial, and general dissatisfaction within the military ranks.

Imagine if Nigeria was still being run by NITEL, the telecoms.

Where would we be? People forget that, that, uh, uh, NITEL had a GSM license in Abacha's time.

It, it took Obasanjo to come and reconfigure the whole thing, and see where all of us are.

And this president says that he's, he, uh, I want to, uh, I w- I go to make sure the refineries work.
