Kingsway Ibadan: Before and After

Both pictures are side views of Kingsway Ibadan. The first depicts the building in its present dilapidated form (2018). The second shows the building in 1950 - picture is credited to Google.

These pictures speak in succinct form how much progress Nigeria has made in its national life.

During Christmas periods, there was a Train within the house that was taking kids to where Father Christmas was. Such are unforgettable memories.

Yes indeed the present state of Nigeria made possible by 16 years of PDP misrule and wanton mindless looting

You are wrong. The decay started from way before PDP came into power. Go back to the IBB, Abacha, Obasanjo regimes. You can even go further back to the first regime of Buhari to understand the decay that Nigeria has been simmering in. Nigeria's been decaying for long just that people are only recently beginning to see how rotten Nigeria has gotten.

Try telling them, they really do not want to know.

I often wonder how Nigerians often try without success to dissociate themselves from the countries problem.
We all had pointed an accusing finger to an imaginary enemies that incidentally happened to be nothing but our collective shadows.
For avoidance of doubt, our brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunts not some alien from a distant planet that was behind the demise of Kingsway supermarket like so many other businesses that have ceased to exist.
I have said this before and I will continue to say it....we are the most unproductive set of human being God ever made. We also needlessly overrated ourselves. Safe for few shining stars among us whom I considered as anomalies or outlier....majority of our kind are evil cancerworms. I challenge anyone in this forum that have a contrary opinion to open a small business like a barbing saloon and leave for 3 months for another Nigerian to run for him. Until we change our ways as people, we will continue to have buffoons leaders like we have always had. And we must deceiving ourselves that God will leave serious people and come to our rescue anytime soon.

Corruption killed that Kingsway building. People stole like mad in that place in the eighties including the staffs and management.
It is pathetic that the building is in this state, it would have been taken over like that UTC that become shoprite now.

We lack maintenance culture in Nigeria. It's a shame that we let all historical monuments go to rot.

Funny. So you would say shopping malls are on decline just because a particular store isn't running again? Wrong analogy! We have far better malls and stores now....

Great memories! A stroll from UTC to Kingsway then to Leventis was always fun. smiley

Hottest, richest and sweetest meatpie with coke during lunch hour. The very best! kiss

Father Christmas visit by indoor train through a chilled 'snowy' grotto was the ultimate at Christmas. Nothing compares with that in Naija today unfortunately. sad

Mr Biggs who took over Kingsway building in Lagos is not any better, if not dead by now.
Re: Kingsway Ibadan: Before And After Pictures by Nobody: 7:39pm On Jan 24, 2018
Why do most Nigerian's have such low IQ? The before picture was a front view, and the after picture was a back view? Fvck me, you sub humans are irredeemable.
Re: Kingsway Ibadan: Before And After Pictures by Majesticniyi(m): 10:31pm On Jan 24, 2018
I get your point. One just have to understand that tines and seasons change. Not just here but everywhere the world over.



It annoying that there is almost nowhere you can take kids to in Ibadan and they would have fun.....na so so bar full everywhere. Thank God for the games arcade at Samonda and the mini-amusement park at Shoprite, Ring Road.
chloedogie:


Actually you have a point just like Mr Biggs first came and now fading off. But what stops us from maintaining our assets? I can remember trans-wonderland in Ibadan back then, it was great even people used to come all the way from Lagos on Saturdays and Sundays. But now.......................

They had the best meat pie down west then, then when Osun was created, presidential hotel had the same pie taste. Christmas was always fun at Kingsway back then used to come all the way from OYO township if we decide not to celebrate at LAMBAMBA in Oyo.
