Mehnn, these pictures vividly paint the story of our retrogression as a nation. One could almost feel the calmness and serenity in those pictures; glaringly devoid of our modern day crazy hussle and bustle of city life. |

The military incursion through the coup of 1966 distroy the nation. And the ill-conceived and ill-fated Biafra war. 2 Likes |

Another set of Pictures: 1. This around the Lagos Cathedral, can anyone notice the sand (or dirts) on both sides of the roads? it appears the decay had started setting in. I can deduce that this may be some time in the 70's. 2. This is an unknown location in undeveloped Lagos 1 Like

I am feeling nolstalgic over a time period that i was not even about to be concieved yet. That says a lot about the beauty and peace of the master pieces. I so miss the period under consideration here. It is soooo beautiful i could almost cry, lol |

Tony Spike: ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, they were a bit more careful no to throw the baby out with the bath water. I am yet to see a black nation do the same to another, but I have to be careful here and shut my gob because the way we are going in Nigeria our biggest investor in a few decades may be Ghana. Now that will really set the cat among the pigeons of our natinal pride and psyche seeing the child growing to nurse the nanny. 1 Like |

I can't believe that was Lagos.hmmn |
Re: The Old Lagos In Pictures by hardbody: 12:38pm On Feb 08, 2012 |
@Ezeufi, i am sure u could do a lot better than that. Correct me if i am wrong, there were no Igbos in Lagos in that golden era? Think first, articulate ur thots and then put it down in a comprehensible and equitable manner. There is really no justification in trying to turn every topic into an ethnic bashing. Just my perception. |

The funny thing is that old papa use to tell me that in those days, in some arear in Lagos, Whites out numbered the Indingoes then, the political Instabilities of the mid sixties drove away our Nigerian born oyinbo's who did not even consider themselves british but Nigerian but as Biafra war come start they went back to their country of Baba and mama origin 2 Likes |

Re: The Old Lagos In Pictures by Nobody: 2:34pm On Feb 08, 2012 |
A reason I would ascribe to the degradation is that the population started growing at a rate that was not commensurate with the facilities/amenities available. hence, degradation and dilapidation was imminent. Also, although secondary, one cannot rule out the impact of un-monitored industrialization and adequate planning. More vehicles, more people, more houses, more businesses, all of which have sprung at rates unparalleled to the general structure they were to occupy. It can still be done, we can still restore the former glory once known. Its all about making a conscious effort. 1 Like |

Uyi Iredia: No DSTV. Cant browse. Your flirting opportunity is limited to your immediate neighbourhood rather than the global advantage that u currently have. Much better quality babes who appreciate what u want etc. Its a great life. Too much we take for granted. 2-3 generations down the road our kids will still laugh at these things we presently hold dear. That is life. |
Re: The Old Lagos In Pictures by mamagee3(f): 3:51pm On Feb 08, 2012 |
I think I prefer the old lagos!!! Looks more civilized than the present day lagos. |
Re: The Old Lagos In Pictures by Afam4eva(m): 3:59pm On Feb 08, 2012 |
mama-gee: Quite ironic. What i like about the old lagos is it's relative tranquility and orderliness. |
Re: The Old Lagos In Pictures by Nobody: 4:24pm On Feb 08, 2012 |
ibos invaded and they're the best in creating chaos out of order. May be thats why the northeners want to send them packing ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The only way for my Lagos (yeah, I'm an Epe youth by ancestry) can get its lost glory back is to send all the other dirt carrying tribes back to their home state, We need to reduce the population by 50% - and make sure no uncivilized village guy/woman is allowed to settle in Lagos I hope someone will do that one day You dirt carry people (I'm not a tribalist and I'm not talking about a peculiar tribe) need to go back to your home state - Lagos is not the capital of Nigeria, go to Abuja if want a better life If I ever become the Mayor of Lagos, half of Lagos population would be deported to their home state within a year 2 Likes |
Re: The Old Lagos In Pictures by Nobody: 4:38pm On Feb 08, 2012 |
It's a pity I never saw this beautiful Lagos! I think Nigerian leaders can a learn a thing or two about maintenance from the Anglo-saxons Future plans for Lagos Population reduction, and it MUST be: 50% indigenous people; 30% other Yoruba tribes; and 20% to the other Nigeria tribes 1 Like |
