nku5:That is not true. They were even still perfecting the black and white camera by 1914. The coloured caera came in i think around the 30s or so. I'm pretty sure because i have seen a coloured movie on TCM, The wizard of Oz, shot in 1938 in technicolor. 1 Like |

at the time oil was first discovered, I doubt it if there was any thing like color photographs, those pics looks more like art impressions. |

This goes to show that we have many naive children in Nairaland. How can somebody tell me there were no coloured pictures in Nigeria in the 60's and even in the 50's? 1 Like |

otanaworld: As a young Niger Delta boy even in the early 70s such good looking natural environment existed in the Niger Delta.Pls tell these fools who hinge their suvival and that of their offsprings on the wealth and sufferings of the Niger Delta people. |

Those arguing whether its artist impression or filmed photograph should rather face the reason for the post. Being an artists impression or painting doesn't discredit the reality which we all know. The Niger Delta was very beautiful, green and fertile as recent as the 70s. What has happened in Niger Delta is a microcosm of Nigeria as a whole. Sokoto was once a green and beautiful savannah but today has suffered from desertification. The Lagos waters which are dirty today used to be clear and blue in the past. We should all demand for a good leader that will restore Nigeria and if possible allow every State manage their resources. That way, there will be enough money for Niger Deltans to clean up the accumulated mess while the Sokoto people will explore their uranium and use it to restore their lost vegetation. |

You have Google at your finger tips, why not run a simple search to see if color cameras where available in the 60's or not. |

donchisel: Answer: There were a lot of American and European photographers who went on "tours of Africa". It was very fashionable at the time. Take one example: google Eliot Elisofon. |

I doubt this is 1960 because of the coloured picture. |

na wa, we leave topic come dey analyze whether picture na true or painting or coloured?! for me the bottom line is that there was a country there a Niger-Delta that had Hawaii-like or Caribbean-like water front and environment before oil pollution spoilt it. the people living around the Niger Delta then had 'coloured' eyes i mean eyes which could identify 'colour' so? if it was drawn it was done from what someone saw real life. or if it was taken with a camera- fuji, kodak, canon whatever, it showed that Niger Delta looked clean, healthy and serene before oil exploration started which has caused water, land and air pollution in the whole region. sad, i smh for all who caused this to happen. i pray to God to restore balance and grant development to this region, whether the government or leaders do it or not, like it or not, in Jesus name amen. |

Oil pollution is a big problem for Nigeria. The oil companies keep on exploring and exploiting just to get meet world's demand for energy and electricity. I wonder that even though nigeria is Africa's largest production of oil, countries like Mauritius and S.Africa are the largest consumption of energy and electricity in Africa and the government is able to meet demands. Remember this 2 countries R not oil producing countries. I understand S.Africa but Mauritus(a tiny island with a population of 1.3 million) consuming more energy than Nigeria(a country of roughly 170 million). Only 2 of our 6 referneries R still working and this 2 R working less than 40% capacity. We had to transport/export(using money) large amount of our crude oil to Niger to be refined(using money) , paid the marketers(using money) and then import it back to Nigeria(using money). At the end of the day all U get is subsidy and plenty of tax.The little profit the nation made of exporting to other foreign nations will be use as pocket money 4 many gov. Officials leading to corruption. In all of OPEC countries, Nigeria is the only country where oil is the most expensive. I heard oil was discovered in Lagos recently. 2 years from now U will find the bloody, dirty oil infesting the lagoon waters of Lagos. Nigeria should learn from Ghana with 70% of its energy coming from that one dam in the lake Volta and Ghana was able to export electricity to neighboring Togo. U guys remember that plane that had to made an emergency landing in Togo because there was no light at the MM int. airp in Lagos. And U remember the 3 fisherman from The Niger Delta that sued Shell for polluting their fishing grounds, I was a little disappointed when they lost. Nigeria should learn from when the U.S sued BP billions of dollars and not only did they have to clean up their oil mess, they also have to give billions of dollars in compesation for the people living in the areas that was affected. More Work needs to be done about the enviromental pollution and finding more altanative renewable energy source. I am not totally against oil but I am against wastefulness , pollution and corruption. Nigeria as a whole is a beautiful country from the start but gradually tearing apart due to bad governance. |

nku5: I stumbled across this picture of a village taken in a village in the niger-delta before the environmental degradation set in. Its not the Niger Delta. Many of you don't know why some waters are blue.If you did, you won't expect and believe blue waters in the Niger Delta. |

Not everywhere in nigeria has beaches. Parts of the coast are covered with mangrove swamps and other parts are the niger delta which is where the river niger empties into the sea through a series of outlets. |
