Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah dies aged 90

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz has passed away, aged 90. The monarch died late last night January 22nd (Nigerian time) in his home. His death was announced in a statement broadcast on Saudi state TV.
"His Highness Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and all members of the family and the nation mourn the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, who passed away at exactly 1am this morning (Friday - Saudi time)," the statement said.
Abdullah became king in 2005 after the death of his half-brother King Fahd. The late king's brother, Salman, 79, has been announced as the new ruler of the kingdom.

    A SAUDI ONCE SAID THE AUSTERITY MEASURES WERE HAVING A STRONG EFFECT ON THE CITIZENS,AS HE USED TO BUY 4 LATEST SERIES OF BMWs FOR HIS 4 BROTHERS IN THE VILLAGE EVERY YEAR WHEN HE GOES HOME TO CELEBRATE SALLAH, BUT NOW HE COULD ONLY AFFORD TO BUY THREE!
    THAT'S HOW PROSPEROUS THE CITIZENS ARE.

    It's incredible that in this Morden day, the royal family of Saudi Arabia "The Royal House of Saud" continues to wield absolute political power. They don't have any democracy there. Well at least the Saudi people are enjoying free amenities like free phone,electricity and school. Nigeria with her democracy is nothing to write home about.
