Lagos has come a long way, especially during the colonial days. Lagos is a home to the colonial masters this is because of its proximity to the Lagos Lagoon and also its a home of colonization according to them. These pictures are gotten from the archives of the Time Magazine and we can't but marvel at the uniqueness of Lagos in the 1800s, especially when the whites are at the helm of power in Lagos. One thing is evident here, there is an organization in the city and also the streets were neat and life is sweet!!! The good old days.

Which of these places do you remember? Let the old men speak while the young lad listen (LOL)

When there was order.
If we should have at least ask the masters to stay a little longer, may be till 2020 b4 we ask for that independence.
I think we ll have learned better

wow

When awon omo iya wa from oke oun were still living under thatched roof,naked,eating themselves

Wonderful pictures

Full of promises .....



But what is obtainable today is a certified dullard sitting at the helm of affairs of a soulless zoo Republic

Good One.

why is it that only CHURCHS is being shown does it mean that there was no mosque in lagos in those days

God punish all those who fought for useless independence and immediately handed it over to the military... The likes of Buhari...who knows nothing about governance..

Imagine what could have been if the white man had stayed a little longer.... Look at South Africa today

We still dey queue up to get their visa

Our parents generation got the best of everything...good education...good jobs within a week of applying...almost free housing....due to their silence, they have allowed these wicked leaders to ruin this country and ruin the future of youths

They born children full everywhere ....causing over population.

Today they are blaming codeine

They will now die off and leave debts, crime,kidnapping...hopelessness..etc

Workingdays:

They have come again...
Carry religion for head more than the Arabs that showed it to you.... No think you hear...



Modified : dude you are from the south west... You don't have a definite religion ... Anything goes

k

It even looked better with less population. Eko baje kpata kpata

May Ogun fire them for giving us independence .

Many of the houses in Lagos island are still like this.not much has changed except for population explosion and influx of commercial buses,cars and okada and of course overflooded drainage and massive air pollution

notice how clean everywhere was 2018 and still exhibiting savagery. Electing uneducated grandpas. We die here o. Sai Baba till infinity.

How time flies

When Brown roffies get sense

See levels. See as lagos be like thailand. We need to straighten up or else we wey dey 30 go still dey complain when we reach 100.

Lagos Don fine since inception...
But the government is not helping matters this days.

okkk

LAGOS TODAY

CriticMaestro:
When Brown roffies get sense

nope, when they were living on a borrowed sense

The Yoruba's should first n always thank the British n later the IBO's for what Lagos has become today.

point of correction, i am not a Moslem. i am a CHRISTIAN.

story for d gods

Nice pics of those days before it was sold off to the Lagos Landlord who's increasing bills everywhere.

This was even before Oyel oo.

Where are the almighty developers

Look how neat and serene

Ok

Who send me come here

good old days of our grand parents when those flat head chest beaters have not flooded Lagos with Gala inside hold up, spear part to litter our environment and fake substandard product they sell including those disable from d north always begging up and down......this country should just divide already
