Made me remeber Leventis stores

I didn't know they had samsung S5 then, that's interesting.

Thanks be to God.

Kingsway, Leventis, UTC, Bhojsons, CFAO

The meatpies and sausage rolls, the toys, the chocolate and ice creams, the escalators. Heaven

I was in class 1 at St. Gregory's College then and loved going to the Kingsway Stores on the Marina from our residence in Obalende.
Lagos was a jollyride in those days.
Sometimes I miss my childhood and I miss my great parents too.

Good old days

Please, don't make me cry.
Naira had value then.
A trip to UK and US was less than N599 by flight.
It was 75 kobo to one US1.

those were d good old days, MEN my heart bleeds, how did Nigeria come 2 become wat it is now. so sad

The Shoprite of then

Back when Lagos was lagos. When only those with business in town were in town. A trip to Kingsway was next to heaven. You get all the original ajebutter stuff which were only available to us when pops and moms travelled to England or when my coz came on holidays from America .
Who can forget LTV with that heavily loaded lagos weekend television. Fashioned around London weekend television, LWT was loaded with movies, cartoons,wildlife documentaries, variety shows etc and even today, makes most of the other terrestrial television look like a joke.

See them. Old people

dis is when men were men

Nigeria has gone to the dogs.

Oh, I remember Leventis stores, Chainrai, Kings way, Denscook.

I remember Greens sands ( Sandy)

I will rebuild my generation ..

Pity that Buhari's stupid policies forced kingsway to fold up. Remember going to kingsway in Warri then every Christmas to see father Xmas.

May it never be well for those who set Nigeria back by over 30 yrs

why is that guy at the extreme wearing a brown shirt in a black and white picture?

The good old nostalgic days...when Nigeria was a 'Super Power'....(wiping tears)....
