It was a time of great upheaval and many people parading themselves as "democrats" today actively supported Abacha's tyranny. |

Adyrin: Grammar Check 1. Its; 'Sorry, What Class are you in?' and not 'Sorry, What Class are you?'. 2. The Proper English Language spelling for the words highlighted in green are; 'Because your' and not 'Bcus yur'. 3. The correct spelling is; 'mis·ap·pro·pri·a·tion' and not 'misappriopraition' I can forgive you for all these flaws but God will not forgive you if you make these mistakes again.. #DontThankMe.. ThankGod. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Adyrin:The most brutal dictator in Nigeria's history. Anyway, Abokis have been brutalizing Nigeria since 01AD. They've been power-hungry since 00AD. Now, they're starved of power, that's why bombs are going off like crazy. Anyway, the idiots won't get what they want. God bless GEJ. 1 Like |

Yea,I remember that era very well. Those were the days of SDP(social democractic party) and NRC(national republican convention). Just the way we have PDP and APC of today. There were some other small parties like UPN and UNPP(I think). Abiola contested under the SDP against Alhaji Bashir Tofa of the NRC. In Edo state then,it was chief Oyiegun against Igbenedion. In Delta state,Apkeki was a popular politician in Sapele but I can't remember who won the gubernitorial election at that time. The good old days. 1 Like |
