caniva: Baba 70 with his Brother Dr. Beko in court on allegation of human trafficking in 1973

@ OP this Picture was not taken in 1973, Fela was 35 in 1973, this picture was obviously taken in the 90's. If you aren't sure of the years don't bother forming dates and misleading people

Looking at this all i can say is

THE MAN DIED, THINGS FALL APART BECAUSE THE BEAUTIFUL ONES ARE NOT YET BORN.

naijamerican: GEJ till 2019!!!

God bless Nigeria!

Carry Go with this Buhari propaganda nonsense.

A good thread ruined by the OP and his cohorts with the buhari nonsense
Remind me never to open your thread again

HE BABA:ALAJO SOMOLU, Nigeria’s Most Famous Thrift CollectorOne thing I really respect Afrikan women for is the way many of them manage money. This is particularly true of the market women and those who ownsmall small worobo(petty) businesses. With incredibly tiny amounts, they manage to sustain entire families and prevent their playful, carefree kids from starving. And even send them to school.Kudos to you if are one of the millions of hardworking Afrikan women. While this is not to spite the men or anything, this is just to appreciate the sheer ingenuity of the females when it comes managing and multiplying meagre financial resources.

THE BEST NAIRALAND THREAD FOR 2014!

Bros an educated person will present evidence that general buhari is not a stallion of honesty instead, so we can know its a lie.

[size=14pt]Nigeria is a serious joke. Nobody had been arrested nor prosecuted for the missing N25 billion that mysteriously disappeared from the PTF under Buhari!

Even Buhari himself has not raised a finger to point out how the billions disappeared!
Yet, we call ourselves a serious country, and white wash these corrupt men as honest people?

Really? You'd rather not have the freedom to determine your future even though we abused the freedom? The truth is we have the option to make amends and reach for glory, as a colony you do not have that luxury.

Are we truly FREE??

DecemberIV: Nice job OP.



The Indefatigable Tower of Integrity, Honesty and Accountability.

Absolute rubbish.

Very incredible!
I love this type of old, nostalgic pictures that bring back memories that were never there.

Lordlexyy: That's what he is. The joke is on you to disprove his integrity and honesty. His stallion qualities are chronicles for us to see except for folks who finds fault when there is none. He remains the only leader so far in the history of this country that nobody has been able to bring any charges against. If you think there's any both as an head of state and ptf chairman, oya mr. Find fault, do justice to my curiosity.

pls dont forget d Umaru Dikko incident and d human right abuses especially of d press in d 1980s. If u doubt me go and listen to fela's song 'basketmouth'. U cannot call a man whose govt suppressed free speech a '' stallion abi horse of integrity''. Make dat Bullshit of integrity! Not to mention d missin PTF Funds under his watch. D man no be saint, dont paint him as such. Integrity my left yansh!

That first pic, what a haunting beauty. Where is she now? That face will be on mind for while, wow..Africa we are blessed ohh. Good stuff.

most beautiful pictures i have ever seen on nairaland.God bless who ever is responsible for all dis wonderful pictrs excpt dat of d biafran gen.May God restore dis great country.let us shone religion and tribal sentiment

THE BRAVEST AND FINEST ONES

The well-being of a king's subject is the King's pride, but observing that these poor kids look like kwashiokor sufferers is a shame to his royal highness

On top of all these wonderful pictures that brought great memories; this ridiculous picture is all you've got to add? Putting a kid in a pot, on a stove must be really funny to you and the ediot that took the picture.

Indeed there was a country!.

You are a joke. Buhari was a crook who declared that Abacha was not corrupt., How can a man who presided over billions of PTF funds and squandered it be a man of integrity and honesty? You too are a joke. Dont mess up your thread bro

AnanseK:

Now you have started. So Jonathan is the stallion of honesty. The I. Don't give a damn dancing president.

@op pls remove the baifra genocidde pics...it turned my tummy

go and sleep if your tummy is turning, I think the aim of this thread is to educate us on how peaceful Nigeria used to be and why we should never pray or go to war again, that picture is part of our history and its time we stop running from it.
