General Sani Abacha.
Increased Nigeria's foreign reserves from $494 million in 1993 to $9.6 billion by 1997–1998.
Reduced Nigeria's external debt from around $36 billion in 1993 to $27 billion by 1997.
Lowered inflation rate from over 50% (inherited from previous administrations) to about 8.5%.
Avoided new loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) resisting certain conditionalities.
Promoted fiscal discipline in budget spending.
Maintained relative macroeconomic stability amid low global oil prices ($7–15 per barrel)
Created six new states in 1996: Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Gombe, Nasarawa, and Zamfara (bringing the total number of states to 36)
Stabilized the official exchange rate of the naira at around N22 to $1
Supported ECOMOG interventions that helped restore peace in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Costing Nigeria over $1 billion dollars and the lives of over 1,000 Nigerian soldiers.
Expanded federal interventions in agriculture through PTF. Food was available and cheap compared to years before his government.
Supported some rural development initiatives through dedicated funds.
Supported healthcare enhancements via PTF projects, such as hospital upgrades and equipment. He built the national hospital Abuja.
Halted excessive privatization programs initiated under the previous Ibrahim Babangida regime.
Etc.
Ladies and Gentlemen, they lied about General Sani Abacha.
A chronic thief as he has been portrayed wouldn't increase our foreign reserves from $494 million to almost $10 billion.
The so-called Abacha lots as been explained, were monies the administration stashed in foreign accounts in anticipation of US sanctions on Nigeria.
With everything I know now about geopolitics and what is being done to Nigeria, I believe what they said about Abacha were lies.
Like Abacha, Like Gadaffi, Like Idi Amin Dada. Our perceptions of these men were curated by those who don't mean well for us.

Repost this video, if you’re certain the voice in the video is anything but the voice of a Fulani man.
Question is, why someone who is apparently not Fulani, doing a video like this and pretending to be one?
Today, I flagged Off of the Construction of Northern Parkway from Ring Road II (Life Camp Roundabout) to Ring Road III, Abuja.
The project awarded to Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, is expected to ease traffic congestion at Life Camp Roundabout and other areas. It will also provide employment opportunities for our youths.
“What truly worries me is Microsoft’s complicity in this genocide”
Ibtihal Aboussad, a software engineer in Microsoft’s AI division interrupted the company’s 50th anniversary celebration on Friday, protesting the Israeli military’s use of the company’s AI products
Moroccan Harvard graduate and Microsoft engineer Ibtehal Abu Saad disrupted the company’s 50th anniversary, accusing AI chief Mustafa Suleyman and Microsoft of aiding Israel’s genocide in Gaza through tech and military contracts.
“They might come after me for what I said, but my fear of retaliation doesn’t even compare to my fear of contributing to technologies used to bomb innocent people. To me, my greatest fear is waking up on an ordinary workday only to find out that the code I wrote might have played a part in killing children. That’s the haunting thought that consumed me.”
I am shocked by the arraignment of 67 minors by the Nigeria Police Force at a court in Abuja, for alleged participation in the End Bad Governance Protest.
These children, who are obviously malnourished and need medical attention have been subjected to a cruel experience when they should be in school.
The arraignment of such number of minors in their states is highly unusual and negates every tenet of the protection of human rights and dignity.
As leaders, it is our duty to protect the most vulnerable among us, particularly children, women, old and the needy. And the government should not be at the forefront of this violation.
I am particularly appalled by the stringent conditions set for their release, it is absurd that a teenager is ordered to source for 10 million Naira and a grade 15 civil servant for bail.
The Child's Rights Act 2003, Section 11, protects the dignity of every child and protects them from any physical, mental or emotional injury, abuse, neglect or maltreatment.
I request that the relevant authorities should immediately review their charges so that they can go back to their families and be responsible citizens.
Finally, I will like to call on the Federal Government to face the challenges of banditry, kidnapping, Boko Haram, lack of stable electricity and excruciating economic policies rather than putting children behind bars. - RMK
In T-Pain’s economy;
We buy oranges the price we used to buy apples.
Buy apples the price we used to buy Bread.
Buy bread the price we used to buy cake.
Buy cake the price we used to do party.
Buy phone the price we used to buy cars.
Buy cars the price we used to buy houses.
When they were advocating for the removal of fuel subsidies, the self-acclaimed experts said we won't see queues in filling stations as the fuel will be available everywhere.
Now, we are buying fuel at the highest price, and we are still following a long queue. Bunch of liars!
