The Day Abacha Died
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2022
- Abacha was a powerful Nigerian Military Head of State and some persons describe him as the real dictator that ever ruled Nigeria. He was feared by those in uniform and civilians alike. He was a man of action and few words. He had no room for opposing voices. He was indeed a powerful man who had been in many circles of power in Nigeria since his days as a 2nd Lieutenant till he became a General and Head of State. Abacha passed on while still in office in 1998. This video tells a story of the day Abacha passed on in Aso Rock Villa, the official residence of Presidents of Nigeria.

Abacha's days, repugnant as it was, reminds me of my childhood. I was 16 when he seized power. Looking at this video is like traveling back in time to 1993 - 1998. Such happy family ours was, despite the tyrannical rule of Abacha!
He was the smartest military HOS
And people celebrated in my neighborhood the day his death was announced but till date Abacha keeps giving Nigeria money. All the so-called Abacha loot could have built several refineries in Nigeria but it is recovered and stolen again by our evil leaders.
I see history repeating itself. Power belongs to God Almighty
Nothing like that Asiwaju Is coming may 29
Those who their families fell under the Abacha killers squad, Those that were chased out overnight from the country, Those that their houses were bombed, or their companies confiscated, especially newspapers houses, those who were unjustly thrown into jail at that time, won't be saying Abacha was a good man, we forget so quickly in this country, Abacha was a maximum ruler, who ruled the country in the highly uncivilized manner, he ruled the country as if the country was his personal company, many people are just saying here that things were cheaper during Abacha time in power as if this life is all about food, our people had been caged for long time and most of them cannot even think right anymore, they beleive their rights and freedom doesn't really matters to them as far as they can get food to eat, the same thing our politicians are still doing to us till today, you see our politicians always keeping their rice until election time before rolling it out for the food slaves, that's not life,we're not an animals but human being created equally in the image of God
God bless you more
Even in the midst of these naked insanity called Nigeria, where majority her lazy citizens are dancing naked, because of crude ethno-religious sentiments, we still have people like you that have not lost their minds to cheap sentiments like we have food on our table gingles, and such rubbish, like dollar was one naira, petrol was one kobo, during Abacha and other cohorts. Let's tell them to stop insulting our sensibilities
God bless you for this write up
They've enslaved Nigerians under poverty up to the point that we have no idea that our vote is worth more than the money they keep offering us. People are really suffering and right now we have a new abacha. One man that publicly claimed that he owns lagos and its is time to rule and he doesn't care if the citizens wants him or not.
We are still living in the abacha era my brothers and sisters and we sincerely need to stand up. I won't give my kids the same country my parents gave me. Inshallah 🙏
My father was chased out of Nigeria. For speaking the truth.
I wS very very young at the time, but remember
I remember this day.I was in the boarding house when I heard the news of his demise.My first time of seeing people jubilating when someone died.
I was in boarding school too. We celebrated
Was this a Military school? Mine was and even soldiers celebrated..
@@stanley8172 Yes. Command Ipaja
@@ijeomanelson1366 After I read your initial comment, I said to my self that it sounded like someone from Comlag... My fellow Commando. Yes, I finished from Ipaja...
@@stanley8172 wow. It's really a small world
I was still in Primary school when Abacha died. I remember, there was celebration, it was like Christmas. People ate, drank & danced with joy at his death.
Lol. Imagine
And now, they're crying in pain 😂
How far? Under Abacha, the economy was perfect. We were leading the world in sports. Infrastructure was 100%. Despite the foreign efforts to destroy Nigeria, we were moving at a fast pace forward. Now, how far? Those that celebrated his death, how are their lives now?
@@masterlightjames950 na you sabi
Same here. I remember a woman screaming and rejoicing
@@masterlightjames950 well said
Al Mustapha testified he was called from his house. Alot could had happened in his abscence. Again Abacha died in the guest house not the official quarters and sources familiar with his lifestyle said he always entertained his women of easy virtue in the guest house. Whatever it is,it is a pleasure to see a brutal dictator like Abacha gone. The only regret is that Nigeria is still in bad hands
You can never be too strong to know the minds of everybody around you.
I remember the days of Abacha. This is really going back in time
For me,abacha was a good head of state not like those bunch of fools that are messing nigérians up.I'm an igbo man and it's good to say the truth.
What proof do u have of this?
All the billions in loot recovered since his death are all signs of a good man abi?
U SPOKE BOTH NOTHING BUT FACTS
@SLOMONELEDOIBE1910
There was a party in my school the day he died, I believed some bad leaders in Nigeria will still end their lives like him.
Lovely thanks for sharing this
To us in zamfara Abacha was a good man,a great leader, may Allah accept his shahadda and grant him Aljanna firdaus Ameen.
He died on June 8th. I still remember cos it was on my birthday!
Oh My !
@@theodorenwabata7814 😂
Oh my…my birthday is 26th June
In fact he was the the only truth military head of state that truly has Nigeria at heart. He achieved many project that uplift this nation which are hidden but later exposed by his security Major hamza Almustafa. UpTo date he remains Hero in my heart.
The narrative always changes. Thank you Dear Lord Jesus Christ for this victory 🙌🙌🙌. We have more victorious times in Nigeria in Jesus mighty name Amen. Happy new year guys.
Very nice
The biggest coup he was about to pull was to move from military head of state to civilian. I was 12 years old when he died but I still remember the commercial on NTA “Who does the hat fit”😂 As many celebrated his death, all I could think of was the commercial; the hat of death fits this many perfectly.
Oh! Life! Then I was in Junior Secondary school,I remembered those on his list to be murdered,I remembered the advert " Who doe the cap fit" and kpam! It will land on Abachal'S head oh! Life .....
I remembered what our mum told us that, don't be surprised to see abacha in heaven with Jesus Christ because he never did anything bad to common Nigerians, later when I grew older I can understand what she meant
The countries gdp and economy was much better than it is today.
Inflation. Was drastically reduced.
The money stolen by him will he take him to heaven? you guy should think we'll.
“Except a man be born again, he CANNOT see the kingdom of God”
Always remember the west hate Africa's progress but abacha and ghaddafi came with a great idea on how to make Africa great but unfortunately the legend have were both assassinated. May they soul rest in peace
Which west hate Africa, you left substance, and Chase shadows, somebody hates you, yet you stole the wealth of your fatherland and kept with them, common WAKE UP
Does it make sense, well you are free and entitled to weeping up sentiment. I wish you well. I just hope you are not planning to beat his records in recklessness when you have privilege to be government too. Sometimes, you people amuses me how you can canvas for devil, if it's possible for devil to manifest real-life
Allahuma ighfir Lahu Allahuma thabit hu
Sunday Abacha anaaa ahhh Abacha anaa
Abacha was a good man to compare with what we're seeing today,action leader with human feelings,he specialize in dealing with evil big men who are trying to bring out their heads to steal and and maim and kidnaps but he was called names.Abacha may ur soul rest in peace Amen. Since u departed dis world we have not had a better leader like you.u make make sure there's no fuel hike or scarcity. U make sure there's food and there's no increase of food items.u make sure there's security everywhere. U cannot promise what u cannot do.u love every tribe. It's like u knew dat dis country wil be like dis and day is why u insist to continue to lead us from military presido to civilian presido but the heart of men did not allowed ur wish to come to pass.a lot of jubilation the day of ur death but unknown to us that u are the messiah dat was sent to save man kind.its now we have come to our senses dat u are God sent but no problem it's well.rest on the charismatic leader
He was a handsome man and I think is a nice person 2
Are you attracted to him?
Yes he was corrupt and looted the treasury, Yes he sponsored the killings of of some Nigerians notably Kudirat Abiola, but during his time Nigeria as a country and it's citizens were never taken for granted or undermined by any other country. He doggedly defended our Territory and sovereignty and cost of living was very nice
The story of loot was absolutely a bunch of lies
Good
People were happy abacha died but me I was crying cos I just a scholarship awarded by his wife
So what later happened to the scholarship,was it terminated after he died.I’d love to know
Nothing stand forever.
Maza......Maza
Mystery will always remain a mystery when people are out there to get you down by all means. JMO
Anytime I see or heard abacha story I weep because Nigeria was in bad shape the moment Abacha died, a lot of Nigerians didn't realise we have lost a great leader but the bad leaders made many people believe he was a bad leader because they hate him. I want every Nigerian to investigate independently on how these leaders ruined Nigeria after abacha.
I think great leader is a relative term, to you, he is great leader to me he was not because I know a great leader when I see one, because I will wait patiently for him to leave and assess him before coming to office and after leaving the office. If after all the revelation of stolen monies by him and members of his family you still regard him as " a great leader" I think you need to be educated of what it takes to be a great leader. They are not mortally bankrupt men, like this one you want us to believe he belongs there. No!!
@@owolabishonaike4735 you make a good point, but he is better than the idiotic Buhari we have as president now, much better by far I may add.
@@sundayaito4366 what's the difference between six and half a dozen. They are one the same, , they both don't good intentions, they don't have capacity to be a good leader. Its just unfortunate that babies are weeping to be leaders in Nigeria they only see Nigeria as a toy to play with and dump like a typical baby will, that's why its only Nigeria that a president will sick and the next thing flying abroad, even their holidays they can't spend in their fatherland, their children schooling abroad, what signals are they sending to their host countries? Your guess is as good as mine. A man who does not value/cherish what belongs to him, it will taken away by those who smarter than him, that's what the western world are doing to our resources, they have seen our leaders as lazy bunch that love short cuts, as such they package anything and ensnare us even generation to come will never come out of it.
@@owolabishonaike4735 I feel that Abacha is way better a leader than buhari. There was no kidnappings and killings during the Abachas years as well as fulani herdsmen rampaging and killing people across the land. All government portfolios and ministries were not being controlled by only one group like buhari has his people controlling presently. Abacha was a visible leader ready to confront a crisis situation wherever it may exist, what about Buhari? He is usually no where to be seen in times of the worst crisis Nigeria has seen which happens to occur under his administration. These are the differences between the two men in terms of who the better leader is I was attempting to point out. They re both corrupt, but I will choose Abacha as the lesser evil leader.
@@sundayaito4366 well like I asked earlier, what's the difference between six and half a dozen? The two of them don't mean well, so its not a matter of which one is better between the two, someone with at gunpoint and another used his privileged position to steal what is put in his care, they are both thieves only their approach that differs
Call him bad, brutal or dictator. One thing for sure Nigeria as a country was much more better during his time than after his demise. I pray for a better Nigeria. God help us all.
He layed the rubbish foundation if he did what he was meant to do what are the odds that it would have been this bad if the foundation be destroyed what can the righteous do
Yes!
You are absolutely right my brother. Despite all the sanctions that were put in place, Nigeria was still very much livable at the time.
Well spoken my bro. I love Abachs so much but oh it's a pity he left so soon. I so much missed him
@@emmanuelakinbowale2284 sone of you people are unbelievable, u love Abacha so much.wonderfull
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤love ❤️
I'm Kenyan.
I heard that one of the apple, many times........and the ladies.
I was 5 when Abacha died,I was little but conscious of the things happening around me. I was with my grandma in the village, I saw the whole village Jubilating and singing with drums and trumpets. I still remember vividly a lady said and I quote "thank God the killer is dead,now rice and beans will be cheaper* Out of curiosity I asked who died and why are they jubilating,my grandma smiled and said "He was a good man but Nigerians don't like good people, they are jubilating now but will regret it later"
The day Abacha died was a day to reckon with. May his soul rest in peace
Was Abacha really a good man
The story we heard when I was 10 years old is that apple poisoning
Abacha senior man.. in my area dat day pple were jubilating.. very happy abacha died. I also jubilated until I asked why is everyone happy.? One bros said guy u no dey Nigeria? Abacha the wicked man don kpai... I was like haaaaaa.. wen I was a kid I feared death so much. Wen I hear a person dies I panic. I was like now abacha is dead who will be the next president. I was scared of riot and election troubles. Later again I heard abiola died. Omo I weak. Abacha was a good man and he made everyone working for him active and comported. As at that year fuel was 45 naira or so... If I'm not mistaken
Why is everyone happy 😂🤣🤣🤣
Just because something doesn’t spoil immediately doesn’t mean it is not deteriorating gradually. My point is Abacha was a bad leader and Nigerian economy was slowly declining.
First to say hi
Abacha the lover of Nigeria and Africa
Murder
@@okonkwodavid644 murder???
I remember when he died people were giving testimony in church
May his soul continue to rest in peace ( our father in d heaven that is always remember Nigeria during financial problems.
God is wonderful ❤❤ I was small wen he died 😢
I pray military to take over the country back
Allah ya jikan ka Allah ya ma rahma
A very good man
His era was the end of glorious era of Nigeria, the government was strong, economy strong despite financial chaos of the 90s Nigeria was still intact
Oga shut up joor
@@Chuby_ubesie no, you shut, sycophánt. What do you even know about economy?
@@Chuby_ubesiealways the igbo
R I p legend
Nigeria has never been in a good position economically and well secured than Abacha's era. God bless you my general.
Shut up
I love this
Abacha was indeed a good man..
Continue to Rest In Peace General 👮
But history says he lock abiola up even when he win election how does that makes him a good man
@@sonikodeh4421 na History we go ask this question oooh sir🤦♀️
Fr?
That he killed many...
Good how?
May his soul continue to rest in peace 🙏🏻.
That's to tell man dat life belong to God, Abacha is a,wicked leader that leads Nigeria,dis wicked leaders in Nigeria today should remember dat one day dey will die like Abacha too
Abach was a very very good man . Abach Prover good Security and good Economy . Nigerians should be glad of Abach government . I love Abach 💯 than today President Eg . Burhari and de rest .
You're correct. Those that keep telling us abacha was a bad person are the corrupt leaders in Nigeria, every corrupt politicians hate abacha because of his intention to lift Nigeria up.
Is it thesame Abacha I know that you're talking about ?????
@@rosemachi5695 yes the same abacha you know, what do u know about him ???
Humans romanticize the past this is natural same people said buhari was a good man if they weren't good in the past they aren't good no learn to leave them in the past.
@@drinkskhalifa7153 Abacha wasn’t good in any way. Ode
His death was jubilated in my neighborhood, I remembered how the women in my hood were dancing and celebrating, that was the first time I saw jubilation upon someone's death
Because they were fed up with lies against abacha. Abacha is still the best leader Nigeria has ever had.
Exactly what I said, what I'm seeing in the comment is different from the knowledge of Abacha I know o...the whole Nigeria celebrated his death
@@rosemachi5695 not the whole Nigeria, corrupt people made you celebrated his death because they have the chance to destroy the country, look at Nigeria during abacha and after . During abacha economy and security are beyond imagination.
@@drinkskhalifa7153 corruption and u call abacha loots what? Same man that looted almost d whole national budget is now yur hero
Okada men did crazy celebrating that day, that is the only thing I still remember
And today, after the shambolic elections of February 25th and MArch 18th of 2023, I bet 80% of Nigerians including me would prefer the Abacha Era to Buhari and Tinubu. Btw, I also witnessed people rejoicing that morning just after assembly while in Secondary school and I joined them even though I didn't really grasp the idea of why I should be celebrating a Man's death, but the euphoria just kind of reminded me the win of Nigeria's dream team in the Olympics just 2 years prior.
Na him good for am
Is only people who don't like to know the real truth or are in denial that will still be insulting Abachas regime, what I believe is no matter how good of a leader a person is , he will still make enemies, many Nigerians don't even know the real achievements of his tenure but believed all the lies that where being told up to date.I think we have to do more research to know more about our history now that at least we are far ahead with all this modern technologies, but most people are lazy to do so ,coz criticism is what people are best at doing not looking at the bigger picture.For me even if is true Abacha steals money which I doubt much coz it can be just one of the lies concocted to make him look bad, I don't think it still pass the ones stolen from Abdusalam time to date combine all together but coz he is dead he's been painted as the Villain while we still celebrate those thats make our nation backward.God help this Nation coz I don't think we really want it to move forward
Abacha was a great leader and a good man too. Rest in perfect peace General. Salute.
Everyone thinks being a president is easy and it gives you so much power...but it also gives you so many enemies that you are always fearful of intrigues, deceit, rebellion, and conspiracies. From the time of ancient kings to the modern era, people at the top have been assassinated, jailed, or exiled by adversaries, ministers, trusted aides, and even family members. There is no shortage of a son killing a father and a man killing his blood brother in the lust of power thinking that bad things only happen to others and that he will be safe and enjoy the wealth and power.
But for how long?
I remember the day this incident happened, my daddy asked us to kill a goat meat that we called abachah , there was jubilation everywhere.
🎉
May Allah forgive him ....and overlook his shortcomings
The people he killed nko, may he get the full judgement that he deserves.
You can finally tell the almighty how to punish him
I was 8-9 years old when he died. People were happy 😂
I was still a child but a whole loads of celebrations.
4:11 buhari
You dey observe o 😂
Lol i saw the madman in the background smiling stupidly as always 😂😂
LoL 😂
It was on the 8th of June not 9th. I remember that day very vividly.
You're absolutely correct.
It was Monday, 8th June 1998. I was in SSS1 @ DSS, ABU, Zaria.
If Abacha didn't die when he did, he'd still be ruling this country today. We dodged a bullet.
😅😅😅😅how many of u saw buhari standing close to abacha
😅😅😅
Yes I did
Lol 😂 I did
Abacha we had good roads nepa naira had more values infact the leaders from 2007 should all be arrested to date 2024
May his soul rest in peaces. Amen
Amen
The great leader ever in Nigeria
R. I. P sir
4:06 Is that not Buhari in civilian clothes at the distant back of Abacha?
He's the one o...with his scary mischievous look
Lol😂😂
May your soul rest in peace Sir, amin thumma amin
Am not a Nigerian but the death of Ken saro wiwa at the hands of his regime made me totally dislike him
So, why wiould Sir Arafat want Abacha dead?
That is my daddy the general Maria my mother
The most brutal President Nigeria ever had. “Abacha wata maa le…..”
But not to the common person
The first military coup in Nigeria took place in January, 1966. This coup took many people by surprise. Abacha was just a 2nd Lt. in the Army. He did not participate in this first coup.
Six months after (precisely in July 1966) another military coup was staged. Abacha took active part in it. Every other coup saw Abacha's footprints in them; either as part of the coup planners or as part of the team that frustrated a coup plan. Abacha and his team frustrated a lot of coups, got the planners arrested, detained and tried. He, indeed took active part in the neutralization of several coup plans.
Abacha also took active in all the successful military coups in the country and later staged a coup that made him the Head of State.
He & IBB were coup & counter coup specialist & expert. He actively neutralized the Major Gideon Okar coup of April 1990 which already had IBB the then military President toppled.
Another theory to his untimely death said it was people's prayers that killed him
Abacha was not buried in Kano. Do your research very well.
Continue to rest in peace great General
Plz what was great about this man that looted the national treasury and put the common man to penury and long suffering?
When the wicked die the people rejoice. Abacha is lifting up his eyes in Hell right now, in torment, reaping his eternal rewards.
Only haters won't understand what abacha did
lol
Rest in peace Gen Sani
The comments here is why we need to bring history back to our curriculum.
The nonsense I'm reading here is mind blowing. Abacha was an evil whose death saved Nigerians from a more imminent doom. Go and read your history.
Did anyone see Buhari 3:58 😂
Whichever way he died is nature don't punish wicked man
He was a dictator and a brute, Nigeria and Nigerians jubilated when they heard of his passing
😂the us did this that hand shake was the end
Nigeria has never been in Good hands... Be it Christain or Muslim, be it Hausa, Igbo or yoruba.... Nigeria is really messed up
Definitely poisoned , almost like the case of Alexi Nelvany in Russia, when he was poisoned the fist time by touching some surfaces and subsequently touching his face
Abacha was the most brutal head of state in Nigeria,s history ,may he rest with lucifer.
Nigerians are still celebrating his demise till today....🤣😂. and we can only wish for many more to come upon the corrupt leaders holding us back!!!!
RIP GENERAL ABACHA
this man help nigeria keep money in hidden bank in all over the world
But now some banks starting returning the money to Nigeria, but unfortunately, but some are waiting for it to steal it again
What did Sani Abacha didnt do right that his predessors has done
Wherever he is, he'll continually roast, quota system general
he was a good man with good heart !
Good man with heart of wot? Wich heart? Good man with HEART, how? Of cos everyone has a heart, but good heart or bad heart is wot matters. We all hv HEARTS
