Africa and its people have been the victims of some brutal rulers over the last century or so. Here we list the worst of them…

Am surprised Abacha didnt make the list
Re: Africa's Worst Dictators by honeric01(m): 1:02am On Nov 22, 2010
^^^^^

You think Abacha was brutal? in Africa, i can bet you, Abacha won't be among the worse 50.

^^^ Thats what am coming to understand, but given the population of Nigeria and the relevance of Nigeria Army, on a lower ground dude could have done worse, he had the tendencies
Re: Africa's Worst Dictators by honeric01(m): 1:35am On Nov 22, 2010
^^^^^

Well yes but he only dealt with those who boldly stood against him unlike the ones on this list, these ones were born to be brutal and wicked, under these people, millions lost their lives so i can't compare Abacha with them.

^^^And dont you think If Abacha had ruled such country he could have done more than those Vampires, cos external communities were so much interested in Nigeria and would loose so much so they always interefered, e.g the death of Saro-Wiwa which resulted to so many sanctions and they subsequently banned us from commonwealth so all these detered him to an extent unlike other countries. Though he didnt do much like them, but dude was heartless.

^^^ Ileke did you see my post on the other thread? Pls take a look at my profile pic(no pun intended)
Re: Africa's Worst Dictators by Omenani(m): 3:55am On Nov 22, 2010
Abacha was far from the worse. I think Mengistu of Ethiopia, Idi Amin of Uganda or Mobutu Sese Seko of the DRC are the top 3 in my opinion.

How about obasanjo?Just because he is a silent killer does not mean his not more horrible than idi amin.
