Biafrannuke: True dat! But then it was better managed and wasn’t so noticeable and destructive as all the regions had a appreciable level of independence from one another! It’s more noticeable and more destructive now b’cos of the unitary system of gov’t we operate, and the strong, omnipresent federal gov’t that controls pretty much everything! 2 Likes |

FrLukas: flow26: Sholaco: OnyeOgboni: A handful of places where Europeans (precisely, the British) worked and shopped does NOT make a city... Most of the rest of the indigenous population lived in slum-like settlement and largely in filth, lacking in basic amenities. > |

Kapeter: While Azikiwe and Ironsi have played their own part (more than 50 yrs ago i hasten to add)....the major reason why we all are here today and continuing to face the ancient challenges other countries have since confronted and sorted out, is because of two-faced, hypocritical, bigoted, hateful and parasitic ‘one Nigerianists’ like you! For how long will you sit back and continue to justify the mess you’re currently in b’cos you think it’s the forefathers of the people you despise that caused it!? You really are pathetic! 7 Likes |

Esseite: Chief, abeg, please, don't try it. All those old cars were so bad that they wore out within a few years. And they were glaringly unsafe. Plus, where are you going to find spare parts? |

EmmyBiggy: My only issue with Zik is that a widely-travelled and intelligent man like him should have had an idea of the nature, character and values of the people he was lumping together with his! It should have been obvious to him that we’re just not compatible together! 4 Likes |

MrHandsome2013: 1.Most people did not have power//light back then. (Ask your grandparents, most of them used lanterns etc to read.). 2.Most houses did not have a phone, or phones. 3.Cars were way more expensive than they are now. At best , you would have to use a cycle. 4.Schools were good...but a lot tougher back then. Academically. (5 credits at O level might not be good enough to get you to A level....). 5.Think the road network is bad now?? It was worse back then. (Until the 1970's when Nigeria had something resembling a modern highway system). 6.Railways were there...but very slow. (It took my dad three days to get to Kaduna from Lagos by rail in the early 1970's!) 7. Speaking of travelling...most people travelled in trucks. A BEDFORD truck , where you sat in the truck bay on one uncomforable seat, and travelled for a long period of time (Luxury buses did not come till the 1970's). 8. At least the only benefit...life was a lot safer. 9. If you owned a car...1950's and 60's cars were unsafe, wore out easily, and were bad. It wasn't till the late 1960's before we got something resembling today;s modern car. 3 Likes |

We need to do more on industrialization of the coal city. The few industries we had like ANAMCO and the likes are already dead. An thriving industrial park is needed ASAP. 3 Likes |
