      the question we should be askin ourselves is who are they supposed to be returnin these monies to n how are they supposed to do that are these governments in europe who seize n freeze these assets goin to return it to the african governments coffers where the monies have been originally stolen from...!?...even if they did that how do you make sure that the people who's in power runnin these governments now will not go on to steal these monies for themselves just like the other ones did it before them...!?...one never knows who gets to be keepin these monies for themselves after all's been said n done how do you know that these governments in europe are not keepin these monies for themselves instead of returnin it back to the africans...!?...this is a lot more complicated than what most of us are usually made to believe that it is in fact.....

    Nigeria's former head of state Sani Abacha is officially reported to have looted $5-8 Billion dollars of Public funds during his tenure, all of which went to European Bank accounts, 1990s inflation rate by the way (Abacha was Head of State for just 4+ years).
    Nigeria's yearly budget during the "90s was "officially" around $8 Billion; so Abacha actually looted about 1/4th the entire budget meant for about 100 Million people during his tenure, and took it to a completely different Continent... That was just his by the way, we're not even talking about the countless other Politicians even doing worse; We're f*cked.

    My advice to all looters of public funds from Africa is to go to their respective govts, negotiate for leniency, to keep 20% of their loots upon agreement, discloses where they kept their stolen funds and return the rest to the public purse in exchange for leniency and the looters must be banned from holding public any office, never engage or sponsor anyone in politics that way the govt can now officially request for the return of the looted funds from wherever they are being kept. That way Africa wins. Imagine how much looted funds that'll be recovered from foreign banks. Govts must also be prepared to provide top notch security to the repented looters from harm. If looters died without disclosing where they keep their loots as in most cases they are the only signatory to such accounts, the countries and the pple from where the funds are stolen looses big time.
