For anyone who is conversant with Ibadan, this area looks more of the street between Beere and Mapo Hill towards Oja Oba, Ibadan.

Yhur guess is as good as mine. Looks like Oje area down to beere and beyond.

Nothing much seems to have changed....I am seeing a particular structure that seems to have remained the same till now.

Wow, how come they did not wear hijab?

This stuff always run through my mind when seeing historic images of people especially for those kids in celestial church...

The Ransome-Kuti family children
(L-R) Olikoye, Beko, Dolupo and Fela. Photo taken in 1941

Which one of them be the betrayer doctor wey dem use kill Fela?

I rebuke the spirit of spoiling this thread.

These pictures made me shed tears because they reminded me of when things were still good, everywhere was devoid of terror, see school children decently dressed, innocence written all over their faces. What miracle could be done for us to return back to those days when #5 naira had value.

Intelligent in his own class but not in the basis of science, technology and engineering which is more important to mankind.

Seems lagos looks like the most advanced state in Nigeria

Lagos has always been the most advanced, thanks to its geographical advantages. It was the first point of contact with white visitors... This made it the choice for Nigeria's capital from 1914 to 1992.

But today, one man who was governor between 1999 to 2007 and became political godfather in the west is pushing a narrative that he "built" it. How disgusting!

How was life sweet and simple? Life is never sweet, simple or balance.
Things works in two's ....good or bad, sweet or bitter, short or tall, big or small, rich or poor, etc.....

America is DemonCrazy and unfit (Biden) to be the leader of the free People (Republic)

Personally, I do not think you know what democracy and communism mean, but thankfully, nowhere in Africa practises "DemonCracy" and neither does the democratic America that most here would give half a kidney to go live in as opposed to Russia and China you kudos to.

TheSourcerer:
Exactly , Democracy didn't even work for the Americans , why would it work in Nigeria. True word Mate!

How has democracy not worked for America?
