If you're a 90's baby you will understand what I mean. Back in the day there used to be Christmas and New Cards, this is another stark reminder on how technology can render a whole industry redundant in one fell swoop! 48 Likes 2 Shares

Everything about 90s still the best especially being a teen during that era. From music to lifestyle and general state of the nation. Time has really changed 70 Likes 3 Shares |

Social media happened to it ... Some one tell our wicked leaders that life is temporary.. We just lost a sitting Governor You go nowhere with looted funds and mansions.. You will only be remembered by the positive impact you had while walking the Earth.. If Naira and the economy continues to nosedive under the care.. if insecurity and poverty rises just as you take charge.. to the extent that people now celebrate being able to afford three square meals.. .. The deepest part of hell belongs to such fellow and there's nothing anyone can do about it.. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Internet happened. Since the internet became more popular and widely used, physical season greetings and Christmas cards took the back seat and became less demanded. If you go to shops now, you'll hardly find them on shelves unlike in the past where they are the first things you site very close to the door when you enter a shop. Since people can easily send e cards in a few seconds to their loved one and the fact that it saves time, stress and cost of going to deliver it by hand, they no longer see the need for it and this has also affected it's production. 9 Likes 1 Share |

People saying technology are totally wrong as these cards are still big things in many developed countries. I saw a lot of cards this year than I have ever seen. Nigerians are usually quick to discard things when the newest things arise. Or probably they were not deeply our tradition which made them easy to discard. 13 Likes 2 Shares |
