I was arguing with an elderly guy that Abacha is more wicked, I don't know much about Babangida because I was born in the late 80s.
But from what I could remember back then when growing up, Abacha is a very wickec human.
Those who witness the reigns of these two military men should please judge

Abacha much more wicked....IBB was more evil but only on occasion (like a typical uncle)

[img]https://giffiles./216/216404.gif[/img]

Buhari is both more wicked and evil than the two of them.....even combined!

Babangida was more of a sweet talker and quite intelligent.. I watched a recent interview of him and he still has that finesse. Fear people like that cos they can be very deadly when they want to..

I remember when Abacha died and folks were jubilating like it was Christmas.. Iya o da lara eniyan. Nigerians really suffered during his regime.
On a lighter note, with what I know now, Abacha might not have been as bad as painted.. man probably had to contend with external forces and internal self-serving saboteurs who didn't want success of Nigeria as a nation. The media is a potent tool they use to paint picture the way they want... Give the dog a bad name just to kill it kinda thing..
@OP You're aware Abacha's main man is still around and contesting the presidency right? The guy sound gan ni o . Major Al Mustapha Rtd.

It's as if our past rulers are brighter than the present ones.. big puzzle I tell you.

Abacha seems to be more ‘wickeder’…

If not for apple/death maybe abacha would still be president by now.

Dude had very devious intentions.

Thank God for apples!

Babangida did more atrocities than Abacha.. Babangida was cunning and evil, little wonder he was called the evil genius. We talking about someone that killed Dele Giwa through a letter bomb. Killed his closest and best friend Mamman Vatsa over a phantom coup. It is said that even the plane crash that happened in Ejigbo where over 200 military officers both of senior and junior ranks tragically lost their lives was minded by him due to fear of coup. His government was also corrupt than that of Abacha. He was the one that introduced the "I chop you chop" kind of government into the Nigeria political space.

Abacha killed more people…


Sergeant rogers was his hatchet man doing the dirty work.

Al mustapha was the loyal 2IC.

While IBB took out his enemies tactically maradona style Abacha didn’t mind innocent casualties. To him it was just collateral damage.

I think Abacha was more wicked. More prominent people were killed by his regime than Babangida’s.

While IBB was more about the chop I chop style government Abacha was more desperate and calculating for total/absolute power. The thirst for power makes people deadly!

While IBB may have been a forerunner Abacha took the game a notch higher!

Abacha’s government was also quite corrupt… look at his loot nicely stacked away in foreign accounts. Some are still being discovered…


Abacha actually had ambitions to be president for life. If not for death it’s very likely he would have succeeded. Only someone capable of the worst deeds and ready to do whatever it takes to attain such position can dream this.

Remember Babangida chickened out at the last minute from power when the heat became much for him to bear…the man Abacha was willing to go all the way.

We could know about his loots stashed abroad because he is dead. Babangida couldn't account for the 12 billion dollars that was made from oil during the gulf war in 1992. Feelers know that Babangida government was the most corrupt amongst the military regimes followed by Abacha and Abdulsalam. The Reason why we keep hearing about Abacha loots everytime is because he is dead.

The funny thing is that it seems those military men performed more than democratic leaders.

While this may be true about corruption between both of them ( I however think abacha was more corrupt) let’s not forget the thread/argument is about the more wicked among both. Let’s not deviate from that.

True…

To me democracy has many demerits. I personally prefer autocratic rule. Especially for a multi diverse country like Nigeria. Only snag is it being open to abuse by a wrong leader.

We in this part of the world are not yet matured for democracy. A lot of illiteracy and those who lack basic understanding usually make wrong choices by voting funny characters. Just like Libya having late Gaddafi as leader, Nigeria really needs strong hand. It's quite unfortunate that a lot of people who intend to lead usually have bad motives. We just need a leader who cares more about the masses and not one who is a bigot.

Nothing else to add to what you have said…


Those are my genuine thoughts!

Well, it is said that Abacha looted 5 billion dollars during his military Sting. While Babangida looted 12 billion dollars during the wind fall of the gulf war in 1992 ( remember this was just within few months and he was in power for eight years). He also used the IMF initiatives to loot so much money. Someone that also opened the borders to drug barons. Like you said let's leave it because it's not what the topic is centered. But if one should take critical analysis on their governments. Babangida was more corrupt.

I can argue with you about corruption…


But I only want to talk about more wicked here!

People close to Abacha t testified how nice he was as a human
I don’t know what you meant by wicked ? Was it based on his style of administration or personal life ?

At least IBB killed his best friend (mamman vasta) but it still boiled down to governance ( military) tho

Abacha symbolizes loyalty. The kind of friend you can have …

Don’t let me start history of Nigeria military era ..lol

If you have a responsible father or father figure at home.... it's best you ask him.

Abacha that keeps sending us credit alert even in death cannot be wicked o. Ibb never die yet we no dey see credit alert from him side.
