Mr. Narrator, kudos to you but, a point of correction ; the Shonekan, interim government didn't resign voluntarily as you mentioned or want to make people believe. It was toppled or forced to resigned by Gen. Abacha. So, it's tantamount to a coup d'etat in all sense and ramifications!

The narrator is correct in his presentation. he simply presented the formal facts. it is not on any formal record that Shonekan was forced to resign even though that's what actually happened. it would amount to the presenter giving us his opinion if he had gone ahead to say otherwise. he is being a responsible journalist, that's all.

My father's civil engineering business practically died under IBB's rule and so did so many other businesses. the Nigerian brain drain to Europe and the West that we are still experiencing up till today began in the late 80's at the height of SAP. Kai! that man finished us while smiling and killing people

[@diallobiggestfan]

@@tobadada4159 what's sap.. Please what did he do

[@tobadada4159]

@@diallobiggestfan sap is acronym for what the imf calls Structural Adjustment Program which was an economic strategy proposed to the Nigerian government under IBB. You'll have to do some reading online to get details. However the reality was it was pretty bad for the Nigerian economy. Toxic to say the least. It mandated that we put the Naira through a severe devaluation process. Corruption was already a huge problem then. IBB made it worse with obscene contract kickbacks. I mean there is too much to share for this platform. The manufacturing sector collapsed . I still remember a headline from 89 or so that had inflation at over a thousand percent. You will better appreciate that if you understand a double digit inflation is a terrifying thing for any economy. Now imagine a four figure. Anyway, I'm no historian. This is all I can share. Google may help with better details. And of course on top of all that he annulled the most free and fair election we've ever had.
