These pictures bring me sadness, to just imagine where Nigeria would have been right now. Compared to the state of no fuel, no electricity across the nation today. These pictures brings back memories......and a drop of tears to my eyes. 3 Likes |

What is so special about these pics? Nigeria was very underdeveloped when all those pics were taken. Most people were malnourished, lived in neglected villages with no electricity or running water. Cars were only for the super rich. Roads were virtually non existent. Illiteracy was the order of the day. Op please stop romanticising misery and deprivation. LIFE IS MUCH BETTER TODAY FOR NIGERIANS. 1 Like |

Lagusta: Sharrraaaaap. Jaja was from Igbo extraction. He was believed to have been born in Amaigbo in the present day Imo state of Nigeria. He was later enslaved during the slave trade era and ended up in Bonny in the Niger Delta area. Although he was a slave, he became a member of the Anna Pepple House. Anna Pepple House was a political cum economic structure where some group of individuals within Bonny established a common understanding towards advancing their common business goals and interest. He was able to work up the ladder in the Anna Pepple House because of his well known and dynamic trading capability. http://www.africablast.com/2013/05/king-jaja-of-opobo-and-his-relationship.html?m=1 15 Likes |

Pataki:You are ignorant. What fuel? What electricity? It is actually today you have those things in far greater abundance. In the 1950s power generation stood at 270mw. Rural areas were in total darkness. There was no fuel issue because the majority used bicycles not cars. If you had grown up then you'd likely be an illiterate because litetacy rate was less than 10% at independence, compared to 74% today. 2 Likes |

Pataki: Way back then corruption, greed, stealing was almost zero. every man and woman was his or her neighbour's keeper but not anymore. I weep for this country. Just in the early nineties here, N20 was enough for me to go to school from Monday to Friday while in secondary school. 1 Like |
