Nigeria, we hail thee, Our own dear native land, Though tribe and tongue may differ, In brotherhood we stand, Nigerians all are proud to serve Our sovereign Motherland.


Our flag shall be a symbol That truth and justice reign, In peace or battle honour’d And this we count as gain, To hand on to our children A banner without stain. O God of all creation, Grant this our one request, Help us to build a nation Where no man is oppressed, And so with peace and plenty Nigeria may be blessed.

Those were the very words Nigerians sang back in the 60’s and 70’s as our National Anthem.

A time where true patriotism reigned in the blood streams of every Nigerian and orderliness was seen from afar.


No one has to question twice who we were as a country and what we stood for. Conversing with our parents you could almost feel the joy and yearn for the old times and days where peace and plenty were in abundance.

I got a few pictures from the 60’s and 70’s that’s got me wishing I was born then. Compared to what we have now, should I say I prefer the olden days?
No doubt the ‘now’ has it’s pro’s but the
average Nigerian is yet to experience that. As a people, we still remain hopeful.

Epic

We cant dwell in the past. the original feelings of Utopia pre-1970 was lost.

the future must be charted now.

Do we need to be recolonized? Were we not ready for Independence as at 1960? Like if you think we were not ready share if you think we were ready.

PEPPERified:
Do we need to be recolonized?
Were we not ready for Independence as at 1960?
Like if you think we were not ready share if you think we were ready.

We were ready but the greed of our leaders led to the deterioration of our nation till today!

Classic indeed

NwaNimo1:
Nigeria has been in decay ever since independence.....

oh no..

Look at that kite flying away in the sky...

Na ur sense, quick grab am!

If i say make thunder fire the people that ask for independence from the British... People will say am wicked.

Imagine the white left us alone in 2009...

Abeg Britain come and colonise us again.

Memories from the PAST
