NellyGhenghen: Pedestrians walking down the "London and Kano Trading Company". A woman in a red cloth wrapper walks past wearing stylish sunglasses. On the right, a man wearing a white shirt, tie and sunglasses looking dapper, 1961. -lostNigeria

I guess that man and the woman were igbos. That was the reason for the jealousy and rancor which the other tribes started exhibiting which led to the civil war. We too stylish which makes the other tribes hate us

NellyGhenghen: Nigerian soldiers leaving Kaduna for a second tour of service with the United Nations in Congo.

This is so emotional. Especially in those days when there was no phone.

Vessi: LMAO. At first pic, they all wore the same hat Goodluck Johny currently wears.
@ Second pic, man this is typical example of revolution, even street touts now dress better than the princes and princesses of this Duke of then.
But his idea of putting a crown on another is funnny as shiit.

Typical African grin

Very Stup*d..
