I stumbled across this picture of a village taken in a village in the niger-delta before the environmental degradation set in.

Notice how clean the water was then. I can imagine the kind of fish they would have been feasting on back then. That part of the country also has good soil and used to be heavy on agriculture back then.

Beautiful

It's a pity that their leaders are mostly too corrupt, incompetent and too bethroned to GEJ and PDP (and similar wasted politicians) to reverse the current tragedy.

These politicians really derailed this country from where it is supposed to be by now.. They had the opportunity to make this country the envy of the world by now. They would have been heroes.

dear God...man i hope this picture is fake.

I'm saving this. Very beautiful! Nature is beautiful, Africa is beautiful!

So beautiful, so serene.

Oil spill at Oloibiri some years ago

In the meantime ,they named a building after Abacha for creating bayelsa and killing ken saro wiwa

So beautiful. Africa was naturally beautiful.

Oil is a curse to Nigeria!

Abagworo: So beautiful. Africa was naturally beautiful.

Imagine if we had through trade managed to obtain oyibo man's technology, managed to stay uncolonised and trade with them... Lots of what ifs

Unpolluted. But not anymore. The more we tend know,the more backward we go.

Good ol days.. Just beautiful

My brother, u can say that again. Now I know better why those militants stood for themselves . God bless their struggle

The picture is a fake... There were no coloured cameras by then

When the devil takes hold of a people,evil takes over the land.If Gej wastes this opportunity to develop the niger delter region,then in the years to come they will have no one to blame but themselves.

funnyx: Oil is a curse to Nigeria!

Wrong, the real curse to Nigeria is her leaders.

That was an artist impression, not a picture.

Rooneyboy: Just one question

Did we have coloured pix in the 60's

I really doubt this pic oooo.

There was coloured pix in the sixties...late sixties.

You don't just post a picture and tell us it's the Niger Delta. Let's see a source from where you got the pictures. That village could have been anywhere. There's no guarantee that that place is even Nigeria.

How do we know this picture is actually a village in ND? It could be an impression of some random artist anywhere in the world.

Your ancestors were rather more interested in catching and selling their own kind for bottles of whiskey and schnapps. Their great- grand children ( all born with iniquity) were the NPN, and now PDP; they have continued where their ancestors stopped in a different form.
They look the other way as their century old trade partners destroy our environment, soiling the future of unborn generations of Africans. Environmental hazards are foreign to Africans nature loving people due to modern global capitalist's greed for more money, at the expense of clean environment.

Colored pix in the 60's in Africa -ROTFLMAO! That's an artist impression!mind you the rivers in the niger delta are not blue, I am from Forcados and I know!

I swear to almighty God, this one is a fake picture, it is even drawing, even if to say it is real picture i swear it is not Niger delta, period.
