We igbos are 99 per cent different from the rest of Nigeria.

No be today them start dey envy us

Yet, you keep on lunning to ragos as if demons are chasing you flom your gurry elosion virrages. Self deception in full swing.

So TOTAL has been in existence since then? They have truly stood the test of time

Cool landscape though. Even without the properly asphated road and demarcation of the pedestrian, the area looks cool and neat. I bet if a trip is taken now to that same location, it will all be an eyesore. Good old days, plz come again.

Hmmm 1959 was there colored camera or film then.
Because I know for certain in the late 60s everything about pictures was still black and white even up to early 70s before colored came out that's why you will see pics of most naira landers at birth always in black and white. Op please check the year again

Enugu, the coal city, once temporarily turned into a killing field by a known psychopath, Dr Chimaroke Nnamani. May his type never rule Enugu state again.

why was I not born at that time what did this military men do to this country for Christ sake?

The last pic is okpara avenue in Enugu. That building is still standing today. But the environment is now a mad area.

Nigeria must be great again

Some Igbos on nairalamd should leave tribalism to their more intelligent brothers.

It takes some measure of intelligence to be tribalistic .

Otherwise you just get a boomerang.
Not everybody is smart enough to skew bigotry and present it as accurate fact .

Which one is "until afonjas came to destroy our land ".
?

The civil war was not led by afonjas . They were sheep fighting alongside other Nigerian sheep led by gowon.

The bulk of the fighting force were from the middle belt.

the atmosphere is cool and nice compare to that of now

Do you mean that there was more respect for law and order back then

PHIPEX:
Things like this show the "good old days" cliche is a lie. The olden days are never better except in the figment of our short memories.

Blowing big grammar for what now?
Was our country less or more lawless back then

Even with the civil war, the most backward LGA in South East compares favorably with Ibadan

1959 with these FULL COLOR separation photographs? I have my doubts!

Indomie generation spotted. A simple Google search could clear your doubts.

But you people said that afonjas are cowards...how come cowards destroyed the paradise of the braves?

Destroyed with their dirtiness I guess.

That then small boy on picture no 4 will be nothing less than 70 years old now if he is still alive....How time flies and things changes.

AutoJoshNIG:
Let’s take a trip down memory lane .

These are photographs taken by Dr. Simon Ottenberg while on a research in Enugu state, Nigeria in the year 1959.


These pictures contain some scenes from the street of Enugu.

In the pictures, we also see some cars on the street.

Back in those days, these cars, as seen on the streets, were the then "latest" cars. Today, they are classified as vintage cars.


So, can you identify any of the cars on the street by their brand names?

Why is this rubbish Igbo news on FP self. Is this suppose to be a news.

The 5% is indeed REAL.

I believe your parents are proud of you. Even if you don't respect yourself why not consider your mum before you talk. Just an advice.
