The Day Abacha Died 

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!

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 see history repeating itself. Power belongs to God Almighty

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

He died on June 8th. I still remember cos it was on my birthday!

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.

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

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

Lovely thanks for sharing this

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.

To us in zamfara Abacha was a good man,a great leader, may Allah accept his shahadda and grant him Aljanna firdaus Ameen.

People were happy abacha died but me I was crying cos I just a scholarship awarded by his wife

Allahuma ighfir Lahu Allahuma thabit hu

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

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

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

He was a handsome man and I think is a nice person 2

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.

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 .....

Very nice

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.

First to say hi

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 .

Sunday Abacha anaaa ahhh Abacha anaa

The story we heard when I was 10 years old is that apple poisoning

Mystery will always remain a mystery when people are out there to get you down by all means. JMO

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.

Nothing stand forever.

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

I'm Kenyan. I heard that one of the apple, many times........and the ladies.

Maza......Maza

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

I remember when he died people were giving testimony in church

Abacha the lover of Nigeria and Africa

May his soul continue to rest in peace ( our father in d heaven that is always remember Nigeria during financial problems.

Good

Abacha was a great leader and a good man too. Rest in perfect peace General. Salute.

Abacha was indeed a good man.. Continue to Rest In Peace General 👮

I pray military to take over the country back

God is wonderful ❤❤ I was small wen he died 😢

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤love ❤️

Nigeria has never been in a good position economically and well secured than Abacha's era. God bless you my general.

A very good man

May his soul continue to rest in peace 🙏🏻.

I love this

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

Allah ya jikan ka Allah ya ma rahma

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

R I p legend

If Abacha didn't die when he did, he'd still be ruling this country today. We dodged a bullet.

Abacha we had good roads nepa naira had more values infact the leaders from 2007 should all be arrested to date 2024

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

I was still a child but a whole loads of celebrations. 4:11 buhari

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

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.

Am not a Nigerian but the death of Ken saro wiwa at the hands of his regime made me totally dislike him

Na him good for am

😅😅😅😅how many of u saw buhari standing close to abacha

It was on the 8th of June not 9th. I remember that day very vividly.

May his soul rest in peaces. Amen

I was 8-9 years old when he died. People were happy 😂

May your soul rest in peace Sir, amin thumma amin

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

That is my daddy the general Maria my mother

🎉

The most brutal President Nigeria ever had. “Abacha wata maa le…..”

Another theory to his untimely death said it was people's prayers that killed him

Continue to rest in peace great General

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.

So, why wiould Sir Arafat want Abacha dead?

4:06 Is that not Buhari in civilian clothes at the distant back of Abacha?

Nigeria has never been in Good hands... Be it Christain or Muslim, be it Hausa, Igbo or yoruba.... Nigeria is really messed up

For us northerners abacha is a good man Continue to rest in peace general

Abacha was not buried in Kano. Do your research very well.

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.

Whichever way he died is nature don't punish wicked man

he was a good man with good heart !

Rest in peace Gen Sani

this man help nigeria keep money in hidden bank in all over the world

He was a dictator and a brute, Nigeria and Nigerians jubilated when they heard of his passing

RIP GENERAL ABACHA

Did anyone see Buhari 3:58 😂

Wherever he is, he'll continually roast, quota system general

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!!!!

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.

What did Sani Abacha didnt do right that his predessors has done

If you are really mature during abacha regime you will never say anything good about him. Apart of hardship and extreme looting of Nigeria treasury there was a lot of assassinations, excecution and intimidation of notable oppositions. 32 generals escape death sentence because he died. Abacha brought out the creativity in Nigerians by inventing saw dust stove cos of hardship.

The general sani abacha achiopa=3+2 =5 abacha+MARIA =2+A.A.A=5
