…y forgotten what it is like to have a ‘First Son’ that is influential and throws his weight around. The last time this happened was when we had Ibrahim Abacha in the Abacha days. A story I remember from the time was how the renegade press were filled with reports about all the weapons that were found on the presidential jet after the crash that killed him and several of his friends, including the stunningly beautiful mechanical engineer Julie Osholukoya, his girlfriend at the time (to further illustrate this loss of memory point — it is near impossible to find a photo of Ms. Osholukoya anywhere on the internet now. You will have to take my word for it, she was an incredibly beautiful woman).

My late uncle was into news paper clippings which he compiled to be sold to someone in the UK in the 1990s- I was the go between then.
And that was how I got to know about the plane crash of Abacha son.
It took place in January 1996 and it is often forgotten that Dangote's brother was on that flight too.
Not too long after the plane crash, Farrakhan turned up in Naija too.
Times of upheaval, they were.
