Salym: Change is the only constant thing. Why dont we use the 1980 betteles? Why do an apprentice go to the master to learn new ideas from him? But form the pics you will see the obvious truth. |

seeing this pictures i feel like crying we have failed ourselves as individuals and as a people we had such a promising future and we started so well, until we began to embrace, corruption and greed and little by little the seeds began to germinate and grow and now we are enjoying the harvest the harvest of greed, hatred and corruption maybe we were doomed to fail, we did not know, but the fact still remains that we are all responsible in either big or small ways for our current predicaments. and if we want change and progress, we need to change our mindset and way of thinking as individuals and as a people POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE CHANGE MUST COME FROM WITHIN |

oz4real83:Obviously. Despite revisionist attempts recently in a much more tribalistic and bigoted country now. Imagine that FESTAC was holding in 2017. The symbol would be some WAZOBIA thing, not the famous ancient Benin Queen mask. Many today would have argued that Benin is insignificant in the political calculus of Nigeria. People keep wondering when it all went wrong with us. Simple. It did when we sacrificed truth and merit on the altar if tribe, religion and politics. Corruption and other ills are just symptoms. |

Ishilove:True this.. We don't have to be suprise. You someone doing something immoral, try correcting them and you be will be told it is their life and you should mind your business. It happens almost everywhere. Infact, if you don't behave or dress in a certain way esp ladies, you will be tagged "Old School". |

Omoluabi16:What a load of absolute rubbish. And what a disgraceful thread. Nigeria is 100 times more developed today than in 1960. The British built not a single major power plant in the country. Not one expressway. Not one university. Not one major hospital. Near zero infrastructure. Illiteracy was 95% at independence, after 70 yrs of white rule. That figure is down to 25% today, thanks to black rule. In fact, it's a fair bet you would be illiterate today if the whites were still in charge. Just like your grandparents were under colonialism. 3 Likes |
