This epic photo was taken in 1952 at Bomadi Delta province.

Seriously?? According to oral history, western style clothes only came into the present day Delta state as recently as the 1930s, but even at that it is surprising that two decades after, kids went to school butt naked. In a bid for the European imperialists to sell their manufactured products, foreign textile materials and sewing machines were imported into the country, and the presence of these products made it possible for people in Delta, Ukwuaniland for example, to take up tailoring as an occupation. Before then, the Onicha-Ukwuani people were weavers of the local cloth called 'nchichi or 'ukor ogbolu,' a kind of cover cloth. This cloth is small in size, made of cotton and tied around the body. This was their mode of dressing before the influx of western style fashion which stifled the local industry.

At the risk of anachronism (judging past events using contemporary standards), I am seriously wondering why these children were not covered with nchichi before being shipped off to school. I can see one little boy at the extreme right who is the only one not in his birthday suit.

All so note that majority of the kids in the photo are male, unlike now when the opposite is the case. How times have truly changed.

This is so hilarious, see different sizes of

They are our present PROFFESORS and academicians of today (i mean the older ones).


Older people alway say that children of nowadays dont read, but i always doubt that postulation because, children of today are more smarter than that of the yester years with the pretty much enormous knowledge they are predispose to.

@Ishilove...there are females...4th nd 7th from the left expect they are castrated males...

This is so funny. But they are just kids. Before then adults in some places also walked around unclad.

It just strikes me as ironic any time Nigerians condemn women for indescent dressing considering the fact that just years ago people walked around unclad.

Its funny that the Europeans who brought clothes to us now dress indescently but Nigerians who just discovered fabrics not too long ago are quick to condemn indescent dressing. Classic case of our always trying to be more catholic than the pope.

I AM A YORUBA BUT THIS IS INSULTING TO OTHERS TRIBE AND IT IS NOT BEFITTING FOR FRONT PAGE

Education was easier then, at least lectures administered sunk in well through many exposed avenues..
