Op, What about the REST of Lagos, or did it only comprise Carter Bridge? AND PLEASE DON'T SHOW US IKOYI. SHOW US MUSHIN, AJEGUNLE, OSHODI, AMUKOKO, ORILE, AND OTHER PARTS OF LAGOS NEGLECTED BY THE COLONIAL RULERS. DON'T COME HERE TRYING TO DECEIVE US WITH ONE BRIDGE. Today we have nice bridges and flyovers everywhere, even in places like Ilorin and Uyo. AND PEOPLE DRIVE THEIR CARS AND SUVs ON THEM, NOT BICYCLES. Fact is that the colonial era was a time of mass poverty, deprivation, illiteracy, and near zero infrastructural development. Op, stop trying to paint it as some sort of golden era. IT WAS NOT. Carter Bridge or no Carter Bridge. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Weedcrusher: Dummy, Igbos were here in Lagos then, the only difference is that the white men had not allowed your urchins called street boys to take over parking lots and start extorting money and doing alaye on the streets. When your boys and men became largely criminally inclined, things got haywire. 13 Likes |

Nigerians can be so naive and daft when white people are involved. See how one bridge means the country was great, super, etc. But show them pics of Abuja today, and use that to represent "what Nigeria looks like", and they'll quickly remind you of other parts of the country that don't look like that. They are sensible with regard to their modern achievements by black govts, but turn dumb, stupi.d and gullible when presented with a few measly colonial structures which automatically mean heaven for them.

quickly:Stop talking rubbish. Massive corruption by your colonial rulers is what caused Nigeria to be an undeveloped bush with not a single university, expressway, or power plant at independence, after nearly 70 years of uninterrupted white rule, even though export proceeds amounted to countless billions of dollars in today's money. Corruption did not start in the 60s or 70s. It started in 1897. It actually REDUCED with independence. 1 Like |

Nigeria is much more developed now but with greater population pressure. If we don't start birth control now, then our grandchildren will still believe 2016 to be better than 2066. 1 Like |
