Woww This orderliness was maintain then unlike now..

Orderliness and peace that characterized Lagos in the 60s.

The scenario now has totally changed!

mekaboy:


R u ready to refund the federal govt all the money it invested in making lagos the capital?

R u ready to pay all the people who are not from lagos but own property and investment in lagos for the value ?

How about those that have investment in other states and are lagosians? are you ready to pay them back??

Things has really changed now o. See as people just corporate dey waka jeje and bicycle sef get lane. Come and see things now, you will be amazed at what this danfo drivers do on the road, no time wasting facing one way straight even climbing culvet to beat traffic and lastma be like ma a wo were yi sha. We now have crazy drivers even men in suit are not left out.

What has gone wrong? we were suppose to have been better than the way we are now, if we had followed that Trend, Where exactly did we miss it, in all ramifications we deserve more than we are been giving.

it has been long this indiscipline we are battling today has been existing. see some sharp guys trying shortcut when other bike riders are lining up and moving slowly. Lol

I in my own opinion doubt the reality of this picture. How many cara do we have on the road as at this period that will lead to this type of traffic. This can never be real.

Good old lagos...bak den where everywhere in innocent

Eeewo! See the set/kind of cars. Vespa was also the best bike then

No, Nigeria is no mans land. The only land that is urs is the one u have the c of o.

These cars are even right handed which Nigeria nver used. It is certainly not Nigeria.

Nigeria used to drive on the left until 1972.

This pic was taken when Nigeria had visionary and responsible leaders such as Awolowo - if you don't know what that man did for this country go and find out.

What we see in Lagos today is the inevitable result of unbridled population growth.

I've seen pics of Lagos from the mid 1970s when it was still a beautiful place with a manageable population.

Nigeria has really invested alot to turn this state around. Lagos was really built on the resources and sweat of all Nigerians.

so orderly, those were the sane days, no be these days wey you go see mad person behind the wheels, you begin to wonder who issued them driving license

what you see there is same as what you have today. The difference is, there no street hawkers, beggers, 1000 okada's, jay walkers, and police checkpoints. These all contribute to the mayhem.

@mekaboy

Don't get it twisted with your very unwise
last comment about Lagos State being a
nomansland.

I believe you are Ibo from your name.....
and this statement is notoriously common
among mainly Ibos.

Now the capital of Nigeria was Marina, Lagos Island and NOT Lagos State.

When the British left in 1960, Lagos Island served as their administrative capital.

Lagos State was founded by Gen. Yakubu Gowon on May 27, 1967, and Lagos Island
also served as the capital of the new Lagos State as well as of Nigeria till 1976 when Ikeja became the new capital of Lagos State!

Sir Allan Burns, the Governor General of
Nigeria clearly stated in his book "The History of Nigeria" that Lagos Island is Yoruba, including Ilorin. He listed in the 4th edition of the book published in 1948, page 33 that of the 11 largest towns in Nigeria, 10 of them are Yoruba towns such as Ibadan, Lagos Island, Ogbomosho, Ilorin, Abeokuta, Iwo, Oshogbo, Ede, Iseyin, and Oyo town. The Hausa town of Kano was listed among the 11 largest towns
I have listed from the book of this senior
British Colonial officer who acted as the
Governor of Nigeria in 1942! His book is right in front of me as I type this...

The Ijebus of Epe LGA, Ikorodu LGA, Lekki,
the Aworis of Badagry also own the remaining Local Governments in Lagos State, and the Ogus also own Badagry LGA
with the Aworis.

These 3 sub-ethnic groups Ijebus, Aworis, and Ogus are the land owners of Lagos State and will remain so till the end of time! Lagos State - NOT even Marina, Lagos (Lagos Island) is a so-called nomansland.

Desist from exhibiting your educational
and historical ignorance on Nairaland
and let the true indigenes and owners of
Lagos State enjoy their State which Gen. Yakubu Gowon created for them in May 1967 along with the old Rivers State making 12 states that he created with the
strong input of the Ijaw nationalist leader
(Chief Harold Dappa Biriye), and Dr. Ken Saro-Wiwa.


Young people like you don't read history book anymore and that is why some Ibos
deliberately distort and insult the history
and indigenes of Lagos State by saying Lagos is a nomansland. You will never find Edo people, other Nigerians, and even
Yorubas from other states such as Ogun, Ekiti, Kwara, Kogi, Oyo, Ondo, and Osun typing such reckless statements online
or make verbal statements calling Lagos State a nomansland. It is only people of Ibo ancestry that I have heard exhibiting
such overbearing attitude!

Marina, Lagos Island(The Capital of the British Colonialists from 1906 till 1960), is
NOT the same as the whole of Lagos State).
