That 5th pic makes me feel like we should go back to the days of 1947.

Only if the BLACK RACE could learn from history to appreciate today and forge ahead to build a better future for themselves.

I panned through some pix that show horror Ebola has inflicted on people from Sierra Leone, Liberia & Guinea this morning, I was gripped with fear of my life seeing body of people lying on the street like bird flu-struck chickens, all because of lack of proper planning, poor health care system and institution occasioned by bad leadership.

Africa needs to start investing on intellectualism no matter how little it is, what we are enjoying today in development is product of relentless efforts of people in the past and present who were able to see beyond their environment.

Some still dey live lik that up till now

Nice one

Wow

Very backward people.

Threse are pictures from the North Central/middle belt people. Riyom is in present day Plateau state.

iamord:
why did you tag them as pagans.. ??

I am not the author of this report. look at the footer of all the pictures and you find the use of the word PAGAN in quote. i think it may mean something other than what you think it is.

And some believers will be going around telling us that nudity is immoral.

This post is a slap to the face of every northerner and let me tell you this before 1900 how were you then? Ha! ha! If you don't know so go and found out BOY....
And note that they are pegans they not real northerners they are not muslim they are JUST PEGANS.... IF YOU WILL BE HONEST SINCE BEFORE THEN WE HAVE OUR FACTORIES OF CLOSTHING, SHOES, METAL AND STEAL E.T.C and they still exist.
Colonial masters make use of our ground nut, rice, maize, millet, e.t.c to feed you guys hmmm

These people relegated their women to the background real bad. Check out age differences b/w husband and wife na, only the women were unclad, even the boys sef wear cloth while their mama no wear. Check out the class room na, all boys! This thing no start today o.

boman2014:
Sorry 4 una wey dey abuse north because of these classic pictures. How many of una great grand papa don make naija proud? And una go sedon for there dey trowey insult.

metchwww...

thanks for the pix bro. We are proud of our heritage and our country.

Who go talk say soup wey in mama cook nor sweet? Ayam proud of you too

These picture really showed how development is slow and far from the people of the north, no wonder they have different sense of reasoning.

The sokoto picture too, those people are not core Hausas right? Na ur forefathers created clothes.

Lilimax:

It shows were the Northerners are coming from

It was same story in the south east, go back a few decade, same story in the southwest. Stop feeling important, we are all black and all we need to do now
is to try to catch up with the rest of the world and stop antagonising one another.

Mahmud, what is a real northerner? While Muslims are the majority, we have people of several ethnolinguistic groups in the North. Don't forget that the the North is a far more diverse region than the South. There are Pagans in the North, we refer to them as Haabe in Fulfulde.

I love this. Pls can I get more? Most especially the ones from Jos.

Most of the people pictured here are not Hausa. Keep in mind that the North consists of and comprises of the majority of the 250 or so ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Not same story at all, we in the west put on cloths while northers hardly put on, we still have people like this in the land of ''KOMA'' in Adamawa state, go to jos and you will see them in their hill, dont be deceived, live near Hausa man and you will give God the glory for not being part of them.

That's not true at all, I'm from Adamawa state. It really depends on the group of people. Fulani people have always worn clothing for centuries, same with many Hausa. Whether it is the Fulani turban that is worn widely by Mbororo'en groups, or the Fulani Limse these clothes are centuries if not Millenia old.

Nairaland thanks for these pictures. We' ve been transformed really.

What a very useless thread.

The mentally challenged OP and the humanoid supermoderator that placed it on front page must share a brain.

Laughing at Africans in their native state shows how far we either to go or how far behind we've fallen. Some of you really are pathetic. The White racist took many pictures of your ancestors too. Some cultures were fully clothed, some partially clothed. Wait till they bring yours out.

'Laugh out loud' fools.

unite4real:
I am just imagining the serious Mouth Odour with these "Pagans" in those days. wow. thanks to civilization.

it is stupid to label these people pagan just because you now follow some middle eastern religion

iamord:
Sigh! The north has been. Underdeveloped In every sphere especially mentally. Now to add insult to the injury .. The education they were now Given was religious education as a mode to civilize them. Then you wonder why we are here today, experiencing problems. Same goes to the southern parts. Because even as they were more influenced by proper western Education. Its still had its problems , along with the religion it came with.. They all had one teaching guideline.. What to think and not how to think.. This has affected the black man seriously. Only the few liberate themselves.. Some won't even understand what I am talking about because they fall into the same category

What kind of world would have been if the past or prensent you envisage was? What have we missed and why is western education an alarameter to you for our common fate? Whats different in Western & Xtian enligthenment? What significant native solution elevated your chosen ones from common shackles?

Long live Northern Nigeria. Home sweeet home

where u get this pics from sef

LMAO

yokiti:
gone are the days.
Thanks to civilization

Yes, bring back the pre-colonial days.

If only the black race could learn from their far more advanced past and use that as an insperation to return to the civilization of their forefathers.

The REAL Nigeria

I know its alot of links but its important for you to know. Plus the above is just West Africa/Central alone!

We are stopping ourselves from rebuilding our civilizations by perpetuating false teachings and dumbing ourselfs down.

Please get your fact right, that was not d only college in d north n not first. The first was established in 1922 in Katsina called old teacher's college
