DEATH DOES NOT TAKE BRIBE The late General Sani Abacha was one of the nation’s most ruthless military dictators. He and his family have been accused of systematically plundering the nation's treasury during his five-year reign. The new democratically elected Nigerian government is currently attempting to reclaim some of these funds but are finding British banks and foreign institutions uncooperative. Abacha is always depicted in sunglasses with boxes of money. Here we find him attempting to bribe death. Although the poster ironically mourns Abacha’s death (seen on the right at his funeral), it offers a scathing criticism of Abacha’s misuse of power. In the bottom we see him standing before Christ on judgment day, still holding his box of looted money. To the left are many of Nigeria’s previous leaders already in heaven. To the right is the devil waiting in hell for his next victim.
