I'm not sure Anna Makanju's grandfather being a member of the Communist Party is of any significance. In the 70s, if one wanted to be more than a streetsweeper, you had to join the Party whatever your political inclinations.
But what is interesting is that Shell Petroleum employed both American citizens (Ron Ginn and Ann Huey) and Soviet citizens (Nina Alexandrovna Makanju Ginn) in Nigeria during the height of the Cold War.
