   ...
   If Mustapha's application did not convey the message well, the former Chief Security Officer to the late head of state, Gen Sani Abacha brought it home properly that December 5, 2001.
   
   Shortly after the day's proceedings began, Ade-Alabi had asked the accused persons to sit down even though such privilege is hardly accorded accused standing trial of such nature. Instead of words of appreciation and gratitude, the judge got what he never bargained for, a rude shock. Displaying a combative courage at the risk of being cited for contempt, Mustapha stunned everyone except probably the defence counsel and his co-accused. Looking the judge straight in the eyes, he said: "we won't sit down.

   We submit that President Obasanjo has taken a cue from his prison experience in 1995, being jailed by Gen Abacha despite being a former Head of State, and thus afraid of quitting office for his vindictive policies that might boomerang on exit.

   According to him, the decision of the rulers to break their 10-year silence over the performance of Gen Abacha while in office will bring relief to the Abacha family.
   
   "I think their positive view on the performance of Abacha underlines the fact that the truth would always prevail.
   ...
   Just last month, the Swiss government declared that it has returned all monies stolen by Abacha to Nigeria.
   ...
   The report said monies stolen by late Abacha is estimated to be between $3 billion and $5 billion.A total of about $1.3 billion may have been recovered.
   
   Of this amount, $800 million has been recovered from domestic institutions before $505.5 million was retrieved from the Swiss government.The former President told a news magazine in May 2002 that lawyers were on the deal for over two years.He said: "The first thing we did was to be able to freeze the Abacha family's loot where we were able to get the co-operation of the judiciary and governments of those countries.
   ...
   The 10-year remembrance prayer of late Abacha may bring in a new dimension to the saga known as the Abacha loot.However, with statements coming from military colleagues who had one thing or the other in common with Abacha, Caligula himself could be awarded sainthood.
   ...
   Well,baba sege's regime was far worse than Abacha's in all spheres and indicators.Time has made Abacha's sins look very minute compared to what obj has done on Nigerians.Most Nigerians fared better under Abacha just ask people on the street and they'll tell you so.
   ...
   Nigeria beware, you have heard from the horses mouth, it means, "put me their and i will make Abacha looks like a choir boy".
   
   4 CANONISATION OF ABACHAWritten by > This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it >, on 13-06-2008 13:22 , IP: 204.14.42.157I told some of my friends some time in 1999 after the death of Gen Sanni Abacha that a day shall come when we Nigerians will canonize the late Head of state Gen.Sanni Abacha. That day is now come, even here; today the act ivies of the immediate past President while in office and the recent calls by some elders and colleagues of the late Head of state has become a testimony of my prediction. I hereby move a motion to set aside a day in our history to celebrate and remember Gen.Sanni Abacha the Saint of our time.
   ...
   For the three musketiers who has come out after such a long years to paint him (Abacha) good are nothing but sycophant(s) who must have beneffited from his administration one way other other.
   ...
   Abacha ain't done nothing worse than Governor Ibori-who is being shielded by Yarduah and Aondoaka in the pretense of the rule of law.
   ...
   The problem with Nigeria is no longer Abacha but the pseudo-democrats who no longer flaunt their riffles but use more deadly \"silent pistols\" (money) We need serious reflections.
