Wow.... Lagos has always been a place of beauty


Centre of excellence gbaa ni

I wish Nigeria can be great again.

Our thinking needs to change for better. All the places i saw in the pix above are neat and beautiful compare to what we have today.

Just made me remember the song in the 80's that goes: Nigeria go better..... African go survive..... Nigeria go survive ooooo.... Africa go better....

Looks better than the present day lagos

When the environments were serene

My beautiful Lagos.

Other undeveloped cities still have hope

Ndi Ofe mmanu can lie...


I rep the Dubai of Africa
##Anambra.

Lagos the centre of excellence

wow...lovely

Awesome.... Iv always wondered how it was like in the 40's and 50's

lovely!

How did we get it wrong? it will do us much good to retrace our steps. The systems are all in bad shape, corruption and lawlessness is the order of the day.

If only other states were developed, lagos wouldn't be as populated as it currently is and Ikorodu road will be without traffic on my way to work daily as seen in the pic above.

Nigeria shall be great again!

The no-mans land

People who claimed that the old Lagos is better than the present one are probably
living in un-developed part of Lagos.
You need to see places like Banana Island, VGC, Lekki and the rest to know how
far Lagos has developed.

chai! I miss those days

Cool pictures well I miss the good old days

Nnamdi azikiwe and co sef

Over population is killing lagos.

I wish the white people developed Nigeria the way they did to South Africa.

Na our SE broda develop am

It looks more developed and organize that today

Whayasay?

SO NIGERIA WAS EVEN AS DEVELOPED AS THIS AS AT THAT TIME?

WE SHOULD HAVE GONE FAR NAUUUUU
