14 Rare Classic Pictures Of Nigeria In The 60’s by boman2014: 10:57am On Jul 27, 2016 |
Nigeria, we hail thee, Our own dear native land, Though tribe and tongue may differ, In brotherhood we stand, Nigerians all are proud to serve Our sovereign Motherland. Our flag shall be a symbol That truth and justice reign, In peace or battle honour’d And this we count as gain, To hand on to our children A banner without stain. O God of all creation, Grant this our one request, Help us to build a nation Where no man is oppressed, And so with peace and plenty Nigeria may be blessed. Those were the very words Nigerians sang back in the 60’s and 70’s as our National Anthem. A time where true patriotism reigned in the blood streams of every Nigerian and orderliness was seen from afar. No one has to question twice who we were as a country and what we stood for. Conversing with our parents you could almost feel the joy and yearn for the old times and days where peace and plenty were in abundance. I got a few pictures from the 60’s and 70’s that’s got me wishing I was born then. Compared to what we have now, should I say I prefer the olden days? No doubt the ‘now’ has it’s pro’s but the average Nigerian is yet to experience that. As a people, we still remain hopeful. 1. A street in Enugu State 2. Lagos Island 3. Lagos Yacht Club 4. University of Ibadan school gate 5. Ikorodu express-way 6. We were so orderly 7. The national carrier, Nigerian Airways 8. Tinubu Square 9. The Old Bata store 10. Barclays Bank. Our streets were so good we walked bare footed 11. A public tap in Lagos. Water flowed through them 24/7 12. Staff at the Centran Bank Of Nigeria. Now this kaind manual work I no like. Lol we just can’t have it all. Says who? 13. An old Guinness advert. Hmmmmmmmm! 14. Lagos Terminal- Nigerian Railway, Lagos- PHC http://omgvoice.com/lifestyle/pictures-nigerian-in-the-60s/?geoip&country=NG |

We cant dwell in the past. the original feelings of Utopia pre-1970 was lost. the future must be charted now. |

Do we need to be recolonized?
Were we not ready for Independence as at 1960?
Like if you think we were not ready share if you think we were ready. |

SW had been making sense since time immemorial. See the haggard looking UI of today looking like a school abroad then. Our leaders finished us. 1 Like |
