When Nigeria and Nigerians were more productive - Producing things consumed in the country with exceptional quality. All those torchlight were being produced then by one company in Agbara. I have forgotten the name as one of our relatives then was working in the company.

Chinese toy torch has taken over the market and all those Nigerian companies producing those torch light have all packed up and you keep wondering while dollar is rising. All those hawkers selling torch and radios sells Chinese made materials.

The Chinese came with torch light that have radio, antenna and other features but less quality. The Nigerian manufacturers of those classic torchlights shown above were not innovative and under the influence of rising of cost of production could not compete any more.

Still in use today with modifications and rebranding.

Yes.

We also used the rechargeable lanterns with flourescent and radio

Then Nepa still grt head,nitel still dey make calls,coins still dey then and no yahoo boys then,no venza,no iphones,no benz,even gen sef dey hard to see that year

Angelfrost:


Yeah... But, the old civilians haven't done any better.

As at handover in '99, Nigeria still had a great chance to soar above the ills of IBB and his Northern cohorts. But thanks to PDP, they further plundered and ruined the nation!

Buhari/idiagbon bandits overthrew shagari government.
Shagari and ekwueme were prosecuted but they were not corrupt.
Buhari/idiagbon bandits consists of IBB, abacha etc as well.
Their bandits members stole ten of billion of dollars. They were thieves.
The military removed shagari because the generals wanted to steal money.

You should remember that obasanjo is also a general.
Despite obasanjo was capable of moving nigeria to modernity, but he was not interested.

lastempero:


They have to sell their product.

Money must be made

I will never understand or fully comprehend what Nigerians were thinking voting him into office in 2015! What sort of mass amnesia was that?!!

This nation is overpopulated with dullards!

Xenry:
I know somebody who is still using it and he doesn't play with it at all. He said that it's his father's birthday gift for him.
I remember using it too, and I loved pressing the red button to make it flash the light, good old days though.

Voting for buhari can be compared to voting for trump.
People were desperate for change.

But certainly buhari has failed nigerians.

I agreed with you, most torch lights of these days are china made and they don't last compared to both iron and plastic made by tiger. You are good to go everyday so far you remove your battery and keep in the sun for next day use. Now, everyone buying chico that has to be charged before use. Even areas wey no get transformers talk less of light to charge.
It saddens the heart to see all those good companies in Nigeria back then packed up.
That remains me of Exide batteries manufacturers in Ibadan.

Correct me if I'm right but,
I suspect that some of your
ancestors were security men in
some government establishments

..

KingDash:

Me too, I used it through my boarding school. And the iron type with big head are for those security men and hunters.

Xenry:
This torch and tiger battery (big) na 5&6. And it is unbreakable.
I remember using it too, and I loved pressing the red button to make it flash the light, good old days though.

Lolz.....confirm 5&6, you go even think say the battery na follow come with the touch

Big tiger batteries dey sleep under sun then like mad. Sometimes when the light is shaking you will just be turning it's head and bottom like you dey set camera
