CHECK THIS OUT: a new memory project on Twitter and Facebook called. Everyone is invited to share photos from Nigeria in the 60s-80s, put a caption and post it with @NsibidiInst - There's also a facebook page: www.facebook.com/nsibidiinstitute - HAVE FUN!!!

I would probably travel back to the time my parents or grandparents (well maybe not grandparents since Nigeria was still under colonial rule then). Nigerians were more traditional then and weren't trying to imitate American accents. They were proud of their culture and heritage. It was a time when $2 USD equaled N1.

I would prefer to go back to the 1860s, or before colonial rule. I would love to see the exquisite level of art, technology and civilization my forefathers had achieved, in person. Then I would help them build from there.

If we could literally go back and warn the Nigerians about our future,
The country would look more like Dubai.
We would have dealt with our oil the same way the arabs did.
But tribalism and greed got to our forefathers heads too soon.
