Then why colorizing an original image of such value? How do you want people to believe
Because colour using images brings out the beauty and more clarity. Even older pictures from the UK and IS taken in the 1800s have been colourized the way some of you reason at times, I pity the generation coming from your bloodlines.

The first color picture was taken in 1850. By 1910 there were methods of taking colored photgraphy. Like the first photo below...that's a color photo of Sergey Proudkin-Gorky, a Russian photographer who developed a method of color photography that he used while working on a photographic expedition for the Russian government. In 1912 (Photo was taken during said photographic expedition).Second photo was of the author Leo Tolstoy, taken in 1908 by Proudkin-Gorsky again

The man used the three color priniciple..which is described here

The problem was that until the 1960's , color photography was a labor intensive process compared to black and white, which is why the photo of Awolowo and wife above is very likely colorized (another technique used to make black and white photos look colored)...it was originally black and white.

You are right techniques were used on the photo, but wrong to say that there was no color photography back then

Most Nigerians back then had no access to roads, schools, electricity, education, good healthcare, good food, even good enough income.

Why is it that your mind always dirty towards your neighbor? Must you imply negativity all the time?

Guys please help me


Is it possible that a package sent to Abuja since Monday has not gotten there?

I sent it with young motor logistics

I have called and they kept telling me road is bad..... But is this possible bcox I'm sure people dt left for Abuja since Monday won't still be on the road till now..
1. Was it registered, were you given any document to show you are sending stuff through them?
2. Were you there when it was handed over to the driver or packaged with other goods and put in the vehicle? I asked because it is possible they forgot to send it if the answer to the question is not a convincing Yes.
3. If the answer is Yes, you will have to find out if there was any kind of trans-loading along the way, perhaps it got misplaced at that point. If there wasn't, then good.
4. Did you take it to their official park? (In your State) If Yes, do they also have official park in Abuja? If Yes, then send someone there to confirm, you can snap and send the document in Q.1 to the person if the answer to Q.1 is Yes.

And now almost 100years later the people that wore clothes and suits in the 1930s are now squatting across bridge railings to shit into the lagoon while those who those who covered with banana leaves back then now wears designers and live like kings in luxurious mansions. Thank God o.
