For each person, some people completely black out, while others are sure they came face to face with some divine entity. But the story of our protagonist today is very different and special. Jan was born in Poland and never left, not for lack of opportunity, but out of love for his own country. His parents just as he loved that place, but unfortunately, their city, despite being beautiful and cozy, would also be the scene of great tragedy for them.

Jan has always loved trains and couldn’t choose anything else to work with the rest of his life if not his hometown station. The man spent his days in the maintenance of these equipments. On a seemingly ordinary day, Jan got up early to go to work, but little did he know that in just a few hours, something incredible was about to happen. He walked distractedly, thinking about things he wanted for his future when he accidentally bumped into someone. He was bewildered and didn’t understand at first what had happened until he heard a voice say, “Watch your step, didn’t you see me?” Jan was very embarrassed and looked down quickly to help the person he’d knocked to the ground. But as he looked down, his heart began to pound. Who he’d bumped into was a woman who passed every day, and apparently was always late. The two started staring at each other for a few seconds, but then the woman got up and unmade the romantic mood that was in the air.

Jan apologized, but the woman didn’t care and continued walking into the station. But he noticed that she smiled as she turned away. The two began to greet each other every day. Jan found out her name was Vanessa, and from that day on, a great passion started to grow in his heart, and before he knew it, he asked her out. The woman smiled and accepted his request. In a few weeks, after the couple’s first meeting, the two were already dating. The passion that the two had for each other was clear, but unfortunately, something unexpected would happen soon and put their relation to the test.

Vanessa went to her boyfriend’s house. The woman had tears in her eyes, and even though she tried to hide it, she was clearly distressed. Jan didn’t understand what was happening, but the girl took an object from her pocket and handed it to him. It was a pregnancy test with a positive result. Vanessa was doing well at work and didn’t want to get pregnant at that point in her life, so she was desperate after seeing the test result. But she didn’t expect what Jan would say. “I love you, and I’ll love our child the same if necessary. I’ll take care of him so you can commit to your work or study. I’ll never abandon you, and be sure of one thing: I’ll love being a father every second of my existence. So don’t worry, we’ll make it together.”

The year was 1988, and at the time, men didn’t tend to have that kind of positive attitude, especially when it came to raising a child. But everything Jan said was true, and they were eager to meet their baby. However, the man wouldn’t be able to keep his promise. A week later, Jan went to work as usual, but that day, a terrible thing would happen. He was doing some routine maintenance, but there was a rock, and Jan didn’t see it. He accidentally tripped, and at first, it looked like something silly, but the man slipped and fell onto the tracks. Other employees at the scene immediately called an ambulance, but when they arrived at the hospital, doctors said there was nothing more they could do for the man. He hit his head severely and injured it. He was in a coma, but health professionals took away hope from the family and especially from Vanessa to ever see him again because, according to them, in a few days, the patient would no longer have brain activity.

Luckily for everyone, the doctors were wrong. Several days had passed, and Jan was alive, despite being in a coma. Vanessa had nothing she could do but pray for a miracle in hopes that her boyfriend and father of her child would wake up. She found out that the child she was expecting was actually a girl, and at that moment, she was in tears thinking how much she would have loved to know this news first-hand before. She was apprehensive and afraid of having that baby, but now she clung to her with all her strength because it was a gift Jan left for her before all that mess.

Even with so much prayer from Vanessa and the rest of the family, Jan didn’t wake up in the next few days or even after a year, and even 10 years after the tragic event, the man was still completely unconscious. But his family would soon get good news. Jan had a slight improvement, and this excited even the doctors. However, all this happiness would not last long as a few days later, he returned to his deplorable state of health. But his family was thinking about turning off the devices and taking him off life support, but Vanessa was completely against it, as she still believed that one day her lover would wake up to meet his daughter.

Was Vanessa right or just prolonging the inevitable? His mother went visiting him as she always did to update him on happenings in the family, even though he couldn’t hear. The woman took his hand and squeezed to cry because she missed his voice so much. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

While she was squeezing his hand, something strange happened. Jan wiggled his fingers. She ran to the doctors on duty who didn’t believe her story, but when they returned to the room, they find the patient who they had believed had no more chance of life with his eyes open. Vanessa was right because after an incredible 19 years in a completely vegetative state, the man finally woke up. The doctors were flabbergasted; they’d never seen anything like this happen.

But when he regained consciousness, Jan started to say very strange things that left everyone confused with what was happening. “Amber,” was his first word. His mother didn’t expect that and was in disbelief to see her son awake, so she couldn’t stand so much emotion and fainted at the thought that she could only be dreaming. She didn’t believe that after so many years, she was finally reunited with him after 19 years in a coma. His first thoughts were of his little daughter that years ago he was so eager to see being born and take care of her.

Jan couldn’t have imagined that he would never actually meet his daughter but a grown woman at the age of 19. Relatives were desperate, thinking the prolonged coma had caused brain damage, but the man fully regained his speech and could explain what was happening. He said he remembered at least the last six months of conversations that his family had had with him. This was really unique and unbelievable; the doctors couldn’t understand how it happened.

He now had a lot to live for and to learn. “Amber,” his daughter, had recently entered college as she was already 19 years old. The two cried when they finally met. Now Jan could fulfill his dream of being the father of that young woman that even without knowing, he was already sure he loved.

Vanessa didn’t remarry as she always hoped that her boyfriend would wake up, and it’s a good thing that she insisted on that, isn’t it? The man became the subject of every newspaper in the city because it was a tragic event, but now he was back 19 years later, almost two decades, as if nothing had happened.

Obviously, there were serious consequences, as Jan would never walk again, but that was nothing compared to his willpower to wake up and see everyone who loved him again. His recovery was slow, but doctors considered him a true miracle of science, possibly a request granted after so much prayer.

Aguiyi-Ironsi (L) and Adekunle Fajuyi (R)

Nigeria has seen the rise and fall of many military regimes since she became a sovereign state in 1960 and this, at every turn, has altered the direction of the country.

A second coup since independence which happened on July 29, 1966, would see to the brutal death of Nigeria’s Supreme Commander, General J.T.C Aguiyi-Ironsi (the nation’s 1st military head of state) and his friend, Lieutenant Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi, who was the sitting and 1st Military Governor of the Western Region…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Aguiyi-Ironsi was a guest at the Government House, Ibadan, as he came to hold a meeting with traditional rulers in the Western region. Ironsi arrived Ibadan the previous day and unknowingly, he met his death during the counter-coup which is generally believed to be a retaliation to the January 15th 1966 coup in which prominent Northerners in power were killed.

The Northerners were believed to hold a grudge since the first coup as they lost leaders including Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (Nigerian Prime Minister) and Sir Ahmadu Bello (Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region). They tagged it an ‘Igbo Coup’ as no Eastern casualty was recorded in both the military and public service as even the West lost Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola in the coup.

This counter-coup of July 29, 1966, led by General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma was tagged the bloodiest coup by many in the history of Nigeria.

Read a comprehensive account of how Aguiyi-Ironsi was killed here.

Aside from the Head of State and Western Military governor, many other casualties were recorded in the army and most killed or maimed were Easterners, particularly Igbos.

54 years after, we remember this gruesome act done in the Brown Roof City and how much has happened or changed since then.

This Is Why An American Magazine Labelled Sani Abacha as “Thug of the Year” In 1995

Published

on

By

General Sani Abacha is perhaps Nigeria’s most enigmatic head of state. He reigned from 1993 until his death in 1998. General Abacha was born in Kano state, northern Nigeria on September 20, 1943. He hails from Kanuri in Borno state.

He passed out of the Nigerian Military Training Centre in Kaduna where he proceeded to Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot, England before being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in 1963.

He is held by some as Nigeria’s most successful coup plotter. When he was still a Second Lieutenant with the 3rd Battalion in Kaduna, he took part in the July 1966 Nigerian counter-coup from the conceptual stage. He could well have been a participant in the Lagos or Abeokuta phases of the coup the previous January as well…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Abacha fought for Nigeria in the country’s civil war against Biafran secessionists continuing to rise through the army ranks.

He was instrumental in the 1983 Nigerian coup d’état which brought General Muhammadu Buhari to power as well as the August 1985 coup which removed him from power. He announced the coup which removed the government of Shehu Shagari.

When General Ibrahim Babangida was named President of Nigeria in 1985, Abacha was named Chief of Army Staff. He was appointed Minister of Defence in 1990. With Babangida’s resignation, an interim government headed by civilian President, Ernest Shonekan was formed.

Sani Abacha became the first Nigerian soldier to attain the rank of a full General without skipping a single rank in 1993. In the same year, he moved for the ultimate.

Shonekan resigned and transferred power to Sani Abacha in a move widely believed to be another bloodless coup. In September 1994, he issued a decree that placed his government above the jurisdiction of the courts, effectively giving him absolute power. Another decree gave him the right to detain anyone for up to three months without trial.

General Sani Abacha

Abacha is noted for helping restore peace and democracy to Sierra Leone and Liberia after the civil wars.

On his administration of the Nigerian state proper, he established The Petroleum Trust Fund aimed to address major economic issues facing the country at the time. Between 25-100km of urban road in major cities such as Kano, Gusau, Benin, Funtua, Zaria, Enugu, Kaduna, Aba, Lagos, Lokoja, and Port Harcourt was planned to be constructed each. A N27.3bn contract was awarded for road rehabilitation in the first quarter of 1996.

There was a restructuring of major insurance companies that supported SMEs across the entire country.

Abacha mandated the PTF to publicise its accounts as it was the second-largest public corporation at the time. In 1997, the account of PTF showed that it disbursed N24.3bn on roads, N21.2bn on security, N7.8bn on health, and N3bn on other projects. Other disbursements include N2.2bn on water supply, N936m on food supply and N476m on education. It realized a total of N1.049bn from various investment activities.

It’s curious the sums which emerged after his death that he stashed in overseas accounts as the Abacha administration became the first to record unprecedented economic achievements overseeing an increase in the country’s foreign exchange reserves from $494 million in 1993 to $9.6 billion by the middle of 1997.

He also reduced the external debt of Nigeria from $36 billion in 1993 to $27 billion by 1997. His Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund is also hailed for infrastructural projects and interventionist programmes in education, water and health.

His wife is credited with setting up the National Hospital in Abuja viewed as Nigeria’s foremost national hospital, which was initially set up as a hospital for women and children before its upgrade.

Nonetheless, Abacha was ruthless with groups he considered hostile to his administration between 1993 and 1998. There was a crackdown on the civil rights groups, media and pro-democracy groups.

It was also under him that Nigeria became a perpetual importer of petroleum products as the refineries packed up. The emergence of the ‘foul fuel’ which damaged car engines and released a repugnant smell was in his time.

General Sani Abacha earned the title ‘Thug of the Year’ from Time magazine in 1995 after the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Abacha developed the habit of working only at night. Availing himself to be seen publicly rarely while being averse to granting interviews.

The events of his death on June 8, 1998, at the presidential villa in Abuja are murky and while the official account is that he suffered a heart attack, other accounts say he was in the company of two Indian sex workers flown in from Dubai when he died. He was buried on the same day, according to Muslim tradition, without an autopsy. This fueled speculation that he may have been murdered by political rivals via poison.

Foreign diplomats, including United States Intelligence analysts, believed that his drink or fruit (apple) was laced with a poisonous substance while in the company of prostitutes.

Abacha was married to Maryam Abacha with whom he had had seven sons and three daughters.

In March 2014, the United States Department of Justice revealed that it had frozen more than $458 million believed to have been illegally obtained by Abacha and other corrupt officials.

On 7 August 2014, the United States Department of Justice announced the largest forfeiture in its history: the return of $480 million to the Nigerian government.

Stashed sums in other accounts have been discovered with the Nigerian government working to have the funds returned.
