We have 10000 times more than "this" today. You just don't value it because it was built by Africans. You need therapy.

Not just Linda. Entertainers and so called 'celebs' also display their possessions with vulgar nonchalance. The internet has made flaunting material wealth very easy and it is sickening, disheartening and downright shallow.


That is because we ALL do not know the need to emphasize on TAX payment by everyone correctly.

When there was law and orderliness
There is nothing lawful or orderly in that picture. There's a traffic standstill and folks riding bicycles on pedestrian sidewalks, with no helmets.

Nigeria could have still been better than as it was in the above picture if not for the 16 wasted years of the PapaDeceivingPikin party. But I believe God, Nigeria will still reach the promise land especially with the iron hand of a competent President Muhammad Buhari

PDP is still firmly in charge of the federal administration.

Buhari is so strong that he has crushed Boko Haram terrorists in two months since May 2015 as he promised the SCAMMED zombies who voted him in on March 28, not so


Firefire:
I am really worried about the increasing death toll... cry

Buhari said: “If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (now March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”

Infrastructure aside, nothing beats cleanliness and orderliness.

There was even bicycle lanes!

Take a look at this picture, the old Nigeria, this is of course Nigeria before the birth of politicians, we can only look with envy and pray that our children or grand children would enjoy another Nigeria this beautiful

Oga, how can this photo stand for the whole of Nigeria. You just took the photo of a street nd you're using it to represent the whole streets in Nigeria.

Op, it doesn't work that way.

There is NO clearly marked and scrupulously respected bicycle lane in the OP's picture.

not clearly marked yet accepted as a cycle lane.

That is even more impressive show of orderliness.

Everybody seems gainfully employed.

No street hawkers.

No police in sight.

Buhari could bring this back.

No street hawkers.

Only a single police man on a motorbike in sight.

Hope Buhari could bring this back.

the question is who are politicians, and who are Nigerians?, cos some of this politicians behave as they are from ivorycoast, some from Niger
Re: This Is How Nigeria Looked Like Before The Coming Of Politicians (photo) by Yorubasgreat(f): 6:25pm On Jan 16, 2016
Before the Yorubas realized they are the owners of Lagos and everyother person is a visitor and they are the host.

And Oba intentionally forgot to clean the lagoon so it would be very dirty before he lunge Igbos into it.

Before Awo suddenly realized that a labourer could one day become the foreman.

Before oil was discovered down south.

Did you see any car taking one way in that pix? Even as the trafic is there is still orderliness unlike what we have today such as the trafic gridlock been experienced on a daily basis in Lagos etc.....
