Got these pictures from my mum's old photo album after she passed in 2006.

First time in Lagos, myself and my mum at the beach around 1986 according to her.

2-3years old here(Father of 1 now).

Second time in Lagos.

We visited another beach, don't know exactly.

Myself, my younger sister(mum of 2 now) and my Cousin.

I was told then that Sea and lagoon (Okun&Osa) are enemies.

Like one is dirty, one is clean, one is Evil and the other is good.

If you throw dirt into the Sea, it will throw it back or come drop it in your house.

If you bottle both lagoon and Sea water in same bottle, they will fight till they burst the bottle and the Sea water will flow back no matter how far.



We fetched a bottle of the salt water from here back to Ondo with Seashells too.

Used them to decorate shelf for years.

The last time i saw beach, 1989.

Maybe some Lagos Nairalanders can recognize this place.

See ur head that time..for u to go on beach that year, naim be say ur papa Get money o boss.

Same day, we visited one place called Amusement park.

Myself, my younger sis, my late sis, late mum and cousin.


A boat ride with my younger sister, bumper car ride, circling horses and later went to the park's restaurant/eatry.

Took jollof rice with chicken and GoldSpot drink.

We paid in coins, can still remember small this last Lagos visit.

From here, we visited kingsway that has a door that open itself and escalator stairs that moves up and down.

At night, we went to see planes at MMIA(last time i saw planes/ airport).

Lost the pictures to water years later, had to dry these ones then sef(Check the second photo).

Traveled back to Ondo second day.

When Lagos was Lagos

Queenlovely:
my opinion of the pictures are as follows:

1. explorers no be small boy again oh, a man of 36 years now wow.

and this little kid now has his own kid and a wife. and his own wife that he would bang eternally without paying a dime after action.

my own junior brother was a regular patron of these olosho houses from auchi to Kano, to pH all the ASHAWO calls him customer, the night he slept with his wife he brought out his wallet to pay her, then he remembered he is now a married man and can bang whenever without paying again.

2. explorers was not born handsome, sorry to say this your sisters are not too beautiful too, but they are beautiful.

3. explorers is from a middle class family, only few families visited bar beach back then. his mum( peace be upon her) was a Christian and a beautiful woman, my guess is that she is a housewives a trader or a schoolteacher, maybe they went to visit their daddy who was transferred there to work in the civil service.

4. the love of knowledge is within the family, look at the lady with eye glasses, she looks scholarly , she must have given explorers a million home lessons.
explorers is this shy type, he was shy. books was his best friend, he was a weak kid growing up, his mates would beat him.

explorers suck lips Wella

Who asked you?

Can't you just admire and waka pass?

Or just waka pass?

Good old days when Nigeria still made sense..

explorers posted this pictures online to get opinion, likes and reaction, which I just did. so why the admonishment.

Mr explorers did I offend you in any way with my comments?

I know you have a big mouth.

"Explorer was not born handsome"

What sort of opinion is that?

"The sisters are not beautiful too"

Are you okay miss?

I wasn't even in Lagos yet by then.

The thing about such memories personally, is that I get scared seeing how far I've come and how quickly I'm getting old, I really dread getting old. I want to remain young forever

However it remains my biggest fear. Even when I see old people I get scared like "I'd be like this ..old and fragile one day"
