Politics / Re: Things You Didn't Know About Maryam Abacha by Fklin(m): 10:50am On Jan 18, 2013 |
Ìyániwúrà123: 1-On the 8th of December, 2011, five armed robbers stormed her residence in Nasarawa Quarters, Kano State. While in action, policemen swooped on them, arrested one but four escaped with the former First Lady's jewelry. After a year of search, the Nigerian Police was able to apprehend the other four robbers and they recovered her jewelry worth N30 million. The jewels included 42 pieces of gold earrings, five pieces of gold rings, five pieces of gold pendants, five sets of gold jewelry and 26 pieces of gold chains (See picture for some of the recovered jewelry). Some of the robbers were shot dead in the process.
2-Following the United Nations declaration of 1994 as the International Year of the Family, she launched her private initiative in September 1994, it was called the Family Support Programme (FSP) and it was to replace the Better Life for Rural Women established by the late First Lady, Maryam Babangida. From that time, each state was also to have a Commissioner for Women Affairs. Whatever happened to FSP today, Iyaniwura does not know. It is baffling that Nigerian First Ladies keep establishing all kinds of programmes that they will not sustain outside office. According the the Tell Magazine of 3rd August, 1998, FSP gulped more than N10 billion of taxpayers' money, the same time during which her husband was retrenching civil servants.
3-Believed by many to be the most beautiful First Lady Nigeria has ever had, she has one of the most impressive collections of diamonds, gold, platinum and pearls.
4-Her mum, Nana Jiddah is Kanuri born of a Borno princess with German roots. She is also a direct descendant of Sheikh Ibrahim Waidama, an Arab who settled in Kanem-Borno in the 16th and 17th centuries. So, you get the blood thoroughly mixed. And that's where the beauty comes from, I guess.
5-While talking of her late husband, she said he was not authoritarian in the house and was a loving father, that they all slept in the same room with the kids, even when they were grown-ups. She said he would cook while she did the dishes. How romantic! Abi? When the babies were crying, he would bring out his breast or his own ear for the kids to suck until they slept off. Amazing!...but na ontop anoda woman en die
6. They had really simple and romantic petnames. She called him 'S' while he called her 'M'. Those were there nicknames back in the days.
7-She raised the idea of the National Hospital for Women and Children (NHWC) and later saw to its establishment. The institution is now known as National Hospital, Abuja. As First Lady, she raised money and built the hospital within 10 months, which was later commissioned by General Abdulsalami Abubakar on May 21, 1999, a week to handover.
8-Following the death of her husband in 1998, Newswatch report showed that she accused Lt. Gen. Jeremiah Timbut Useni of being responsible, an allegation that he flatly and vehemently denied. She had based this on the fact that the Lt. Gen. Useni and the Chief Security Officer, CSO, Major Hamza al-Mustapha were the last to see the late head of state.
9-In November 2012, at the book launch of her former military press secretary, Colonel John Adache (rtd), she donated a sum of N5 million naira upon which she was loudly applauded. She was the Mother of the Day at the event and the Chief Launcher had donated a sum of N 2 million naira. She stole the show and the whole hall erupted in a loud ovation. #Smh.
10-She has nine children, six sons, three daughters. They include Ibrahim (now late), Mohammmed, Abba, Sodiq, Abdullahi, Gumsu (Fatima Bayero Fadil) and Zaynab. She actually gave birth to her last born while her husband was the head of state. I can remember the newspapers carrying it, quite exciting news then for the First Lady to become a mother again.
11-While the First Lady, she popularized the use of 'Aso Oke'.
12-Shortly after the death of her husband, the Khalifa, she was stopped at the Aminu Kano International Airport with 38 suitcases filled with foreign currencies. She was on her way out of the country but denied it as a 'fabrication'.
13-As at 2000 alone, her family had hired over 12 lawyers to defend them and one of those lawyers was the American lawyer, Johnny Cochran, the defense attorney for O. J. Simpson.
14-Her eldest son, Ibrahim, died when a Falcon jet of the Nigerian Air Force Presidential Fleet ferrying him and his friends from Lagos to Kano crashed on the 17th of January, 1996 just minutes to landing at the Aminu Kano International Airport. He was with Funmi, his Yoruba girlfriend and a younger brother of Aliko Dangote. All 14 people aboard died. A lawyer and businessman, Ibrahim Abacha was described as very nice, extremely humble, easygoing and gentle, he was 28. Upon his tragic death, Maryam Abacha was shattered and had to leave for Saudi Arabia where she stayed temporarily, prayed, meditated and sought for consolation in her faith and God.
15-She said she used to send book gifts to the former US First Lady, Hillary Clinton but the gifts were never acknowledged.
16-Shortly after the sudden death of her husband, General Sani Abacha in June 1998, the government of General Abdulsalami Abubakar placed her, her oldest surviving son, Mohammed, Ismaila Gwarzo who was the former National Security Adviser and others under house arrest. Stranded and furious, she had angrily denied knowing about any foreign accounts but the story later changed.
17-In one of the deals under the Obasanjo government to recover looted funds (about $1.4 billion) frozen in Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, the Abacha family was to keep a sum of $100 million. President Obasanjo would later say that that was one of the hardest decisions of his presidency but he later justified it saying that it was the fastest means for the country to recover looted funds. Well, I really didn’t want to dwell much on the looted funds. Why? The ones that they have recovered, where are they? As the Yorubas would say, ole gbe, ole gba.
18-Anyway, while she was being questioned about the money stashed in foreign accounts by her husband, she said the money was not stolen or looted but that her husband was simply saving the money for Nigeria in some foreign accounts. Brilliant.
19-The Maryam Abacha Women & Children Hospital in Sokoto State is named after her. The institution contains a center for treating vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) patients.
20. When she was asked about the political ambition of her son, Mohammed, who wanted to become the governor of Kano State, she stated that as Muslims, they believe in fate and destiny and were not afraid of any outcome.
21-During the negotiations to recover the looted funds, she declared that she would not surrender to government intimidation and after three months of negotiations, she offered between 5-10% of her family fortune, in addition to the $800 million that has been seized. Substantial sums were also stashed in the family’s private bedrooms or in local banks.
22-In December 2001, she pleaded with the government to release her son, Mohammed. On visiting him at the National Hospital, Abuja, she said in an emotional voice: “As you can see, you know the agony of a mother: helpless, lonely and still would not be allowed to provide adequate attention to a child she loves so much.”
23-On her orders, some ladies suspected to be girlfriends of the late dictator were detained and tortured by Abacha’s Chief Security Officer (CSO), Major Hamza Al-Mustapha who has been sentenced to death after a lengthy trial.
24-Back then in 2000, she asked bitterly one day in her sitting room in her palatial residence in Kano watching CNN: “Is this humane? Is it fair for a government to fight one family over a few pennies? Obasanjo was a military man. He should have some sympathy.”
25-She also says of her late husband: “It should not be surprising that my husband was found to have a lot of money. He held a lot of government posts. If a person is industrious, and there is some luck, that money will grow.”
26-Once known as Miss Maryam Jiddah, she married General Abacha in 1965/ Her nickname while in office was ‘The Crusading First Lady’ for her role in the first summit of Africa’s First Ladies in 1997.
27-And yeah, there is this popular saying that even if they collected all the money from her, she can never be as poor as Dangote. I never saw a single strand of evidence to support that. You’ve got one?
28-As at April 1998, a group called MAP (Maryam Abacha for President) was set to emerge to support her for presidency in case her husband did not go on with his succession plans.
She is an in-law to Mohamadou Bayero Fadil, a highly influential politician and one of the richest men in Cameroon. Bayero Fadil is married to her charming daughter, Gumsu. If he becomes the President one day, that means Gumsu Sani Abacha will become the First Lady of Cameroon. Simple.
