I wonder how the picture below could have been taken in 1952, when (according to some nairalanders) there were no coloured pictures in 1982.

Picture below - Queen Elizabeth attends church service at the Cathedral Church Of Christ, Marina, Lagos in 1952.

This is amazing! Some people actually believe that there were no coloured pictures in 1982, while others believe that a 1982 picture can not be this clear (there are pictures from the 1950s that are clearer than this)!

HW you take know?

What a very funny question!

This photo taken in 1982 shows how Nigerians dressed to church in their Sunday best.

Fashion doesn't really disappear. It appears again and again in slightly modified forms. Don't you just love their Afro?!

The part in bold is very true. This was the time when maxi dresses staged a comeback after being eclipsed by mini dresses in the 1960s and early '70s (mini skirts and dresses would later resurface in the mid 1980s).

I've been expecting this for a while.

Does he have the powers to give such "order"?? A judge has the discretion to grant judgements based on the facts before him and the merits of the applicant's prayers.

If he can do this, what stops him from saying "stop passing a guilty verdict on suspects"??



Ps: funny how these guys still look to "Tinubu's lying propaganda media" to promote their course.

These same guys would rip thenation apart if anything anti PDP is reported.

Such funny sets of people.

Honda Civic CRX.

It was known as the Honda Civic Del Soul in other countries, but in Nigeria it was known as the Honda Civic CRX.

It was very popular (it was a cheap roadster). It had a retractable hard top.

Lamborghini Diablo.

There were quite a few of them in Nigeria in the 1990s. I think the most famous one was probably the one that was in a showroom on Akin Adesola Street. Price = 24 million naira (1994 price).

BMW 850i.

There were other versions of the 8 series (850csi, 840i, etc), but Nigerians seemed to prefer the 850i. The car was actually introduced into the market in 1989, but it didn't become popular in Nigeria until c1991, when it was seen as an alternative to the Mercedes SL (R129).

A man who lived down our street had one. It was a very tiny car.

Volkswagen Santana 2000.

This car was the successor to the hugely popular Santana GX, VIP and Ambassador of the 1980s. It was introduced into the Nigerian market in the early 1990s. However, it was not as popular as the original Santana of the '80s.

The Peugeot 505 Evolution was introduced c1988, but it was still very popular in the early 1990s. It's a sportier version of the very popular 505.

No one has posted anything fantastic until I see Citroen, the one that the tires go inside.

The sports car or the limousine? (Those are actually 1970s cars).

Citroen DS

They had a hydropneumatic suspension system which allowed the driver to raise the car when driving over bad surfaces and lower the car when the road was good.

The lights could swivel, which was quite useful when driving round corners.

They were very popular in Lagos in the 1970s and '80s.

Morris Minor and Mobyllete


(Those are 1950s and '60s vehicles).

You just reminded me of an old man that used to deliver newspapers while riding a mobyllete (the one with pedals).

Nissan Datsun Cherry. (These were probably the cheapest cars that were sold in Nigeria in the early 1990s. Someone decided to import lots of second hand Cherries and the person hit a gold mine. The whole second hand car craze of the 1990s started with this car).
