Gumsu may have a point albeit a blunt one. Some Nigerians do miss her father. Many Nigerians have good reasons to be grateful to him. He was a threat to some Nigerians. He was at the same time an opportunity to others. The Abacha regime helped to create a new cohort of treasury robbers. It spawned MEND and NADECO whose members have become a significant constituent-part of Nigeria's current looting economic and political classes. It is not necessary to name names. Nigerians know who they are.

I do not blame Gumsu. Any one could be tempted to take her interpretation of the discussions on the social media. However, I am satisfied that these comments merely result from the insatiateness of most Nigerians who always think that "it is greener on top of the septic tank".

"Gumsu, daughter of the late maximum ruler, Gen. Sani Abacha, has claimed that Nigerians have been missing her father's dictatorial leadership.
The late dictator's daughter stated that she came to this conclusion after having closely monitored people's comments on the trends of political events via social media.
Writing on her Twitter page, Gumsu claimed that "all of a sudden" she now also misses her late father.
"All of a sudden I miss my late father. And I realise that Nigerians miss his leadership everyday when I read people's comments on social media."
I agree! We have been in hell since Obasanjo came in 1999!
