Rewriting history by telling lies and misleading the public is far more dangerous in the sight of Allah. How on earth will you retrieve someone's assets and convert it to Nigeria's property if at all it is Abacha's asset. An ownership in a property retrieved goes to the owner and not to the government.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987334428121024046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625710219374323467.post-82972700727367168192020-05-27T19:03:15.156-04:002020-05-27T19:03:15.156-04:00Well written Prof. Thanks for the piece, more ink ...Well written Prof. Thanks for the piece, more ink to your pen.Gen.

When look at issues from religious and regional perspectives.If Farooq is implored not to speak or write about the ills committed so flagrantly by the dead because his faith forbids then it beholds on the defenders of the dead equally not to cast same persons in saintlyattires. Why should a thief in every definition of the term be thrust on Nigeria by the President and his minions as someone without blemish! Nobody speaks ill of Abacha here but the proven truth about him as regards his unbridled looting. As regards Jonathan and others Malami and his cohorts should charge them to court if they have the evidence against them. After all we have a government fighting corruption in power.

But from all the articles and comments i read so far,from Buba Galadima and his likes, and the inferences I've drawn surrounding the saga,I just referred to the money as a looted funds. Because the Abacha's gate is very obvious to be seen as a deliberate attempt in looting Nigeria's commonwealth. This is my candid opinion.

It doesn’t teach us to lie to salvage the image of a dead thief", can't we have narratives on 'financial (mis)deeds of Babangida,O Abdul-Salami, Obasanjo, Legendary Diezanie, Goodluck-og "corruption is not stealing game" so that we will be FAIR , JUST and TRUTHFUL to all including the Abatchas.<br />But you and l, know that Islam dis-allows discussing the'Evils' of the dead, because their travails starts from their graves.<br />My regards <br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03662235483704104065noreply@blogger.com
