Let’s take a trip down memory lane .

These are photographs taken by Dr. Simon Ottenberg while on a research in Enugu state, Nigeria in the year 1959.


These pictures contain some scenes from the street of Enugu.

In the pictures, we also see some cars on the street.

Back in those days, these cars, as seen on the streets, were the then "latest" cars. Today, they are classified as vintage cars.


So, can you identify any of the cars on the street by their brand names?

Joblessness at it's peak.

Nothing useful whatsoever to do with your miserable life except to flood Nairaland with tribalistic comments and divide people. Ewu Gambia!

When Nigeria was still doing great and foreigners come to the country to study and also struggle to come earn a living in the country.
The period where people send Naira to families in the U.K

Considering doing a roof parapet?
check out price comparison between a concrete cast in suite against polystyrene parapet.
Polystyrene parapet is light weight and doesn't have much impact on the land.
excellent usage on swampy environment.

Things like this show the "good old days" cliche is a lie. The olden days are never better except in the figment of our short memories.
