Ten years ago, Alhaja Abibatu Ashabi Mogaji, Iyaloja-General of Lagos and Nigeria, died. Deputy Editor EMMANUEL OLADESU writes on the life and times of the Amazon, and her involvement in the Southwest and national politics.
In the fifties, women participation in politics was limited to attending rallies, campaigns and voting.

When the usual statement and photos were released after the event, I could not help but spot the first picture which showed an emotional Tinubu watching a screenplay of a woman he described as his first caregiver to whom he owes everything he has become today.
For some reason, the President’s countenance morphed from that of a Commander-in-Chief to that of a little boy looking up in admiration to the highest human authority figure in his life.
At that moment, the moving pictures began to trigger old memories, which adulthood, politics and the cares of daily life had relegated to the extreme rear of his memory.
In that moment, we experience our most vivid recollections of a past we long for. We sometimes wish to travel back in time to reenact moments we may never get back, to hold conversations with someone who no longer lives. You can’t call it nostalgia — that description will be too simp
