That's just a rumour. Bongos Ikue said that he only met Maryam once.

SUVs were mainly used as review vehicles and shepherds at that time (Mainly the Mercedes Benz G Wagon [predecessor of the G Class] and the Land Rover Defender. There were many of them at CVU. The Land Rover Discovery joined the fleet around '92 or '93).

Thanks. Corrected.

I've finally found it again.

After Mandela’s release from jail in 1990, he visited Nigeria, and received a $10 million campaign contribution for the ANC. There were great expectations that these developments would mark the birth of a strong alliance between Africa’s two powerhouses.

Thank you.

Here's how to insert a picture into your post.

1) You need to use these codes [img] [/img], the same way that you use your bold codes or the codes that you use to adjust the size of your text.

2) Copy the web address (url) of the picture and paste it into your post.

3) The web address usually begins with https. Remove the 's', so that it becomes http (your picture won't show if you don't remove the 's'.

4) Place the web address between the [img] and [/img] codes.

Here is an example. Quote this post and read it so that you can see the web address of the picture below.
