Throwback- General Sani Abacha Take over Speech

[@nicholasobetoh381]

With the way the presidency, NNPCL and Dangote have been playing with the expectations of Nigerians, a speech like this is needed

Nonsense

[@ojaysss]

I would love to find out how you came to that conclusion. Having a refinery in Nigeria Dropping the dollar Building roads and transport Network Introducing a proper taxing system These are what is happening in Nigeria today.. what people don't realise is, considering the factors in play, achieving these things in Nigeria today without fuss or force is very commendable. Anyone that can see understands that Nigeria is on its way to a self sustaining economy. Anyone who knows what that means to a country like Nigeria would be quite excited. Don't disrupt this process with short sighted negativity. We are all responsible for how it goes.

[@Ras_Ogbu]

​@@Peggyg13 Abacha's administration laid the foundation for the job OBJ did. Even with the multiple sanctions from UN and the Commonwealth, Nigerians didn't feel any impact because Abacha opened up our economy to the Asian Tigers, that is, the developed economies of South East Asia. The Naira was giving the Dollar a run for its money and inflation was low. The only people that were complaining then were the "progressives". Today, the "progressives" are in power - have been in power since 2015 - and Nigerians are suffering and eating from the bins.

[@Peggyg13]

@@Ras_Ogbu All the economic gains from this Asian tiger relationships were shipped out of Nigeria into American and European banks isn’t that ironic ? Did abacha build more schools, hospital & refineries, sea ports & rail ways ? The kind of stimulus the economy needed ? Wasn’t ASSU on strike permanently ? What was the crime rate ? You talk about progressives messing up the economy , democracy like evolution is a slow process, eventually we will get it right. Nigeria in its current form is a creation of the military. So by default , we have factory error. Like I said we will get it right. Abacha was an aberration. May we not see his kind ijn?

One of the problems am having with we African is whenever we begin to hail a leader which we know how brutal he was during his life time because he gave nice speech. They all have good speech to present simply because the speech was not written by most of them but that doesn't change who they are which is what we are seeing.

[@aliyumohammed7965]

The fact remains he stood by his words even if he did not write the speech. Looking back at leaders that succeeded him I don't see any one who you can categorically say that surpasse him in achievement. He had his shortcomings as a ruler but security, economy and infrastructure wise you have to give it to Abacha. I still emphasize that non of his successors from 1998 can be said to be better than him in those aspects. Agreed he was a military dictator like all military governments but circumstances warranted some of his decisions on opposition. He did not annull June 12 election, Babangida did and he came to power only after Shonekan lost legitimacy from Nigerians

Democracy which should be government of the people and for the people and for the people.

[@nimonicon6830]

@@trentson6965 am not disputing the fact that things were not cheaper compared to this present time under democratic regime. That was then. Things were cheap probably as a result of the the level of technical advancement then. We should not also forget how people suffered and how hardship was the order of the today too. Am not saying things are better now. My point is that he was also a corrupt leader just like the present ones who need not to be celebrated because of nice speech.
