Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island. Marina Broad Street, Lagos (1951). Broad Street, Lagos (2009). Isale-Eko (1950s) Isale-Gangan (2009) Supreme Court building @ Tinubu Square (circa 1960) www.nairaland.com/attachments/699011_Supreme20Court20Building20Tinubu20Square201960_jpg483ba2508bc4b66aa0f90cb929e80714 At independence in 1960, this Supreme Court building was knocked down and a new "modern" Supreme Court building was built at Igbosere Road. Wole Soyinka hated the new cement building and felt that this wooden building suited the tropics better. He also hated the water fountain that was built at Tinubu because he felt that it had no effect on the lives of the masses who lived in the area. |

I'm tired. I've got tons more pics to post, but not enough time to post them. I've not even finished with the thread "Nigeria: the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly". I might have to come here week after week to post pics. Please check out the thread https://www.nairaland.com/1062509/nigeria-good-bad-beautiful-ugly By the way, can we see pics of Nairobi's "famous" Mathare Neighbourhood? |

Ileke-IdI:The bolded is a question you alone can answer. I didnt put to you that you're one. And why would I create a tread for that. Sound silly to me. But like you rigtly said, lets focus on the degraded state of Nigeria; and not the degraded state of Non-Ekiti parts of Nigeria. Kappish? |

Ileke-IdI:ur such a funny man Abuja is rank as one of the most beautiful city in Africa more than Nairobi. |

From previous posts, I learnt she (Ileke) schools in America. What a total waste of money. Selectively Comparing the best parts of Nairobi (the capital of a country) and the worst parts of many cities in Nigeria. An utterly bias comparison. All for what, to discredit your own. Clearly from the pix posted by Rossike, Abuja is by miles more beautiful than all the pix of Nairobi u posted. U have a problem: self-hate. |

As it is in Kenya, so it is in Nigeria. We have the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. |
