My dear, even in war we looked better than we are today with our so called accumulated wealth. Have you noticed garbage in any picture. Today we cannot even sweep our streets.

That is what I call progress . A ; All we have added to these pictures is a larger population, period. Every other factor of social development has degenerated.

The sight of the 1st few pictures makes me really really sad as it reminds me of the Western world where i live now and the 1st question that pops into my mind was what happened to Nigeria??
we have similar buildings here that still look the way the ones in those pictures look and they are from the same era, so again, what happened to Nigeria??

im sure a lot of ya have ideas as to what happened so imma go back now and start reading your comments, this shall be interesting read!
