Nice one

No pictures....are you well?

Effect of drinking too enthanol

Ibadan! My ibadan, Always representing.

The oyinbos left too early, na that kind 1994 dey suppose leave . Infrastructure wise Nigeria wouldn't be at this shitty level that we are on. There might b racism and all those crazy tins but our moral and way of life would have been better than this. We've been ruling ourselves since 1960 and ordinary roads our govt can't provide.

I Caught lalasticlala viewing the thread.... yipeee...

back to the Topic....what's special about this picture now

The library in Calabar looks like that now, if not better.

Likewise the e-library in Uyo.

The Oyinbos left too early, for the North.

They left too late for the South.

See as them cross legs like gay.

So that guy dey wear 'short nikka' go library.. If I wear this kain short nikka for hauz, marle and pman go talk say I don join bad gang.

Especially my marle... She go dey cry con tell me say make I swear say I never join bad gang.

Library nowadays has turned to photo studio where babes come to take cute selfie...

good

Love to all

Before the advent of Google
Now the only time students fill the library is exam period

Depends . Thing is....if they had stayed that long, we would be complaining about issues of racist behaviour/discrimination.

South Africa was run by the Whites till 1994. While it is a lovely country in some parts, most black people did not benefit from the whites hanging around. (And the whites deliberately manipulated the education system to the disadvantage of blacks).

All in all.....Nigeria got its independence at the right time. The fact that we are still underdeveloped is basically due to the fact that our economy is not based on innovation, but on sharing money from revenues made from selling raw materials....whose price we do not control....and that sharing formula argument foments tribalistic and religious tensions.

See crowd! Shey this one no pass Iceland Population so?

I see you daddy

I am seeing concentration and seriousness, unlike nowadays that people are so worried and tired out.

I rep Ibadan city!

That's holding ursef esteem high because undergraduates were few and well respected then



We missed our way in Nigeria

yoruba and book are like,,,,,,

I sight Serious fellas....

Nothing special.

if dis library belongs to d ppl from d rising sun part of d country & our oyel ppl they will be shouting "WE DEVELOP B4 THE South West"

Ahhh, I remember when my friend's father used to borrow novels from there, after my friend and her 4 brothers finished with the books, they would sneak it across for me to read as quickly as possible, it taught me speed reading and taking extra special care of books, cos those British Council books were like gold to me back then, shiny and new, smelled good too

Where most of the black population is poor, and where many blacks have been so let down by the education system there that they cannot get places in university.

And don't get me started about the Apartheid system.

South Africa is not an ''ideal'''country. It has serious issues.
