Nostalgia

No inch of Festac wey i no trek that year

Beremx:
Festac Town has lost its glory. Bad roads and shops everywhere. Almost all ground floor of block of flats have been converted to business centres. Duplexes are not left out in the madness. The last time Festac Town had a good serenity of environment was in the early 2000s.

I miss the town though cos I was born and bred there.

You guys don’t get tired of being dense and tribalistic?

Your government collects taxes and does nothing with it except to feed fat. While you get off on hating each other as they stow your collective wealth away for their future generations 10x removed.

They know you can’t do anything but come on the internet to spew tribalistic BS. When you see the people responsible for your plight, you lay down and worship them but feel strongly against the next person who’s just as much a victim as you.

I’ve never seen a group of people as unique as Nigerians

Festac used to be multicultural. Guess the people that live in festac nowadays after they hijacked it.
The tribe starts with an I and ends with O. They invaded the town and messed it up.

Who remember a platform then called " FACE OF FESTAC " Just like nairaland of now.


Black face, faze alone and 2face use to hang out there.


I remember vividly, FESTAC town used to have a game house where you convert your Naira to Coins to play games

Only Banks, Nipost and Shoprite Mall are the only valuable things at festac now

Who are the people?
Once some people move to an area the area is guaranteed to go south.

BreconHills:
The problems of Festac are many.

The design involved centralised services which created single points of failure. Great in other places but not NG.

Indiscriminate flouting of the master plan. All sorts of buildings sprouting up


Lack of community ownership - look at those flats.

Festac is the metaphor what happens when people are free to do what they like. A cautionary tale for all those who believe in freedom over law.

I can tell you that if festac falls into state hands, there will be gnashing of teeth but long term recovery. Otherwise let Festac fall into the hands of a Wike or Tokunbo Wahab type person.

Personal happiness ends where it brings discomfort to my neighbour.

It's not about being predominantly igbo, it's about it being populated by a sample set of reckless Nigerians. Even if another tribe was there, I doubt there would any difference.

Festac inhabitants have not done well at all.

Esama:
Very dirty people.

Afrobasic:


First off, who says I am in Lagos? I can never go back to that shit-hole

Secondly, from your previous comment, it is quite clear you do not live in your god father's state. You live in another man's state, yet you have the guts to tell others to "go una state"

Can you see that sense is far from you now

azpekuliar:


There is a 2000 Nollywood movie by Helen Ukpabio titled “Wasted Years” that starred Justus Esiri, Ashley Nwosu etc.. A scene in that movie was shot in a supermarket along First avenue. That supermarket is still there till this day. Infact that should be one of Charles Okocha’s first Nollywood movies. He was in the scene that was shot in that supermarket.
Anyway, my point is that is, it is difficult to reconcile what First Avenue looked like in that movie with what it is now. FESTAC town was the location of choice for many Nollywood movies in the ‘90s. If you want to see the glory days of FESTAC just go and watch Old Nollywood.
