we shot the last but one one!

Well, as no one has mentioned it, in 1903, Lugard and his men stormed Sokoto , shot then Emir of said place dead, killed all his staff and army, and installed the Empire and reading, 'riting, 'riting and 'rithmetic - as you do.

So maybe the current Emir of Sokoto is still fuming at what we did to his ancestor - shame.

As I am ex Nigeria and ex Rhubarbwe under Robert Gabriel Mugabe, all I can say is that crews have to put up with an awful lot in Nigeria.

Ghana is much nicer, and so are the people. Ah, Ghana Airways, VC10 reg 9G ABO - nostalgia.
