This mans crime lives on over a decade after his death. He single handedly ran down a whole country. That his shameless loud mouth daughter will soon open her big mouth and say Nigerians shld not demonise her father, after all he just killed a "few" pple, kidnaped and stole a few "billions".

May they be judged accordingly.

Al Tequila said...

Fulani and Hausa people are the most corrupt creatures in the world. They use pretentious piety to fool themselves and rob Nigeria. For all the years Fulani and Hausa people ruled, Nigeria have nothing to show for it.

Since Nigeria's independence, Fulani and Hausa leaders have stolen over TWO HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS from the Federal and State governments.

Fulani and Hausa leaders accuse others of corruption, but turn a blind eye if it's one of their own people doing the stealing. Stupid rogues. Damn you Fulani and Hausa leaders.

After so many years of abacha's demise,stolen wealth is still been accounted for. Daris God ohhhhhhh

Ok.so u cut a deal to drop the charges if the money is returned.
What is the morale here please.i can steal but once I can return some of it then its ok.
Also what has successive governments done with the ones returned.
What has happened to the investigation with regards to the diezanigate issue.
What are Farouk lawan and femi otedola still doing frolicking with Mr president.
We know you sacrificed Stella in place of deziani to douse the tension,but why isn't she facing criminal charges.
My dear Mr. president,stop bargaining with everything and anything just to return in 2015
Tony Anenih and Edwin Clarke will escort you all the way to the devils chambers .

Oh God I pray that soon Nigeria would eventually get rid of corrupt leaders, both past and present!!! I hope that all the presidents of Nigeria, past and present that have embezzled huge sums of money from Nigeria, spent it, saved it in foreign off shore accounts in Europe, would burn in hell, and their families along with them!!! Corrupt bastards, all of you burn in hell, the Abacha family burn in hell, you evil family!!!Whizman

The money is coming back only to be taken by another person or group of persons. So it really don't make a difference.

That doesn't sound good to me if the Fed. Govt. drops charges of over N400b against Mohammed Abacha in order to recover $227M (N36.3b) stolen funds. Who is fooling who?

I really wonder when Nigeria youths will start thinking rightly.

The problem I have with the money returned is that another thief will 'thief it. Instead govt should pay ASUP and let us resume! Na lie, it is going to there pocket! Rubbish. Nigeria we hail thee.

Anonymous said...

in a sane country every member of the abacah family would be in prison and the key thrown away. recover the money and still charged him as well as i see no reason why he should be left to go free.

Anonymous said...

I agree with you for once o! Make dem free the man joor. If he stole $5billion dollars, that simply means that IBB, OBJ and the rest equally stole billion of dollars. If you use the yardstick of the noe stolen by ibori, u will also get a clearer picture of the amount stolen by people in government. Infact the highest thieves are civil servants(many of them are richer than nigeria), why I feel sorry for them is that they can't even spend the money stolen cos dey are meant to be mere civil sevants. All these DGs of parastals are d main culprit. Abacha's only fault or what made him different from all the other thieves is that fate dealt him and his family a blow.....death.

Anonymous said...

These family will not go unpunished, Abacha generation will not see peace, they will be starved to death, this 'JONA' he want to make him Governor to suppress Sanusi Lamido. Just wait, very soon, they will appointment Mustapha as Defense Minister whatever.
