Wow. To have this kind of clothing as a Nigerian child in 1938 means privilege.

When a particular tribe are still walking naked into the market in the year 1960 cheesy The same people will be the ones running their mouth cursing same Lord Luggard that merged them with the real civilize tribes.

Seeing old pictures like that always make me feel nostalgic.
I wonder what life was like at that time.

The dad was very good looking. None of the kids took after him.
The youngest kid looks like a dwarf in the picture.
Was his mom related to the Ransome Kuti's family? How come they all bear different names?
