Following report of the loot that would be returned, #ThankAbacha is now trending on Twitter, with some Nigerians thanking him for not stealing the money but saving it for the future.
The difference between Dasuki and Abacha is this: Abacha kept money in his account, while Dasuki just wasted it. Let's thank God for Abacha.

'The great leader of our time is Abacha...'
When I sang this during Calisthenics '97, I never knew what it really meant.
