    Abacha's Regime

    A time with a landmark

    In the history of Nigeria

    It started when he was on throne

    May his soul rest in .....

    He began with greed and selfishness

    And we forth in hate and grieve

    Peace in Nigeria went with the wind

    The tears of the Nigerians ceaselessly fell

    Abacha, the king of thieves

    An evil genius

    A legend from Nigeria

    A brave heart

    A hero

    And the devil himself

    He did so much

    He destroyed so much

    Standing as an instrument of corruption

    He created fear

    And ruled selfishly

    There was no limit to what he could do

    He reaped where he didn't sow

    He didn't give life

    Yet he ended many

    But when the Lord arose

    He was consumed in his wrath

    He gained treasures

    But he lost his own soul

    The era of Abacha is over

    Oh! Rejoice Nigerians

    The Lord has done it again

    He slew yet another infamous ruler

    He has saved his people again
