Hmmmm.... Do you know you're the 5th person online who has said Nigeria took a dark turn after the year 1999.
And I use to think it was only in school aspect. Cus I finished secondary schooling in 1999, and I can beat my chest secondary schooling in Nigeria became worse after that year.
And you're the 5th person just like I said earlier who has attributed it to society in general.

I can tell you so much about the Nigerian society before 1999. Politicians ruined it all.

When Abacha brought his five leprous fingers as political parties, we voted with confidence during the local government elections and there was absolute peace. Surulere was completely peaceful and pleasurable, especially around Masha, Aguda, Stadium and Barracks.

You could walk from Ojuelegba to Ilasamaja, passing through Idi Araba at midnight with no fear or molestation. You could get buses going from Ilasamaja to Mushin, Ojuelegba, Costain, Ijora and Apapa at 3 am with nothing and no one to fear. Now who will dare?

The politicians ruined it all.

Secondary schools in Lagos, especially the Island were great years for students. Yaba and Ojuelegba bus stops were the centers of activities for students. In Lagos, students of MBHS, St. Gregory’s, Holy Child, etc, all assembled at either CMS or Obalende. It was pleasurable. In Yaba, it was CMS, St. Finbarrs, Reagan memorial, LASACO, etc, who gathered in front of the bakery at the present Yaba bus stop, under the present Yaba overhead bridge. In Ajegunle, it was Trinity secondary school, Gaskiya Cardoso, etc.

Abeg Lagos too sweet before 1999. Now I just told you of the 70s and 80s only, before the agbada wearing politicians scattered everywhere with tribalism and religion.

God dey.

Wetin Obi look finish say “ I no do again.”

Hahaha, no be lie. Agbada wearing guys ruin everything for their selfish interest.
I grew up in Ojo local govt. All I can rmbr then was sweet and rosy memories.
Abeg I no wan talk too much, Lagos and school life was sweet back then.
I don't know how to swear for the agbada men that ruin everything.
Honestly, if they should leave me to talk about how safe and condusive Lagos was back then, this place won't contain it.

Na una be Okokomaiko, Shibiri, Alaba, Aiyetoro, Ajangbadi, Afromedia, Ilogbo, Cassidy, etc.

The roads used to be smooth in those days, going from Volks into Alaba to Shibiri. Nowadays, it is a shame. Na suffer full there.

Old Ojo road from Mike two to Satellite town, trade fair and up to Volks used to be peaceful and smooth. Go pass that road now. Shame everywhere. Lagos changed completely from what it used to be. A very beautiful city, with no stress and plenty night parties to enjoy. Now who dey go night parties again?

Everywhere and everything scattered!

Mehn! You just described that my area finish. That old Ojo road from Maza Maza down to Abule Ado that was once a smooth ride is now an eyesore. Though rehabilitation is going on there now.
Same with Volks to Alaba market, messed up road everywhere.
During Fashola time, he tried in giving roads to Ilogbo, Shibiri and environ. But now they're mostly eyesore.
You still dey talk about nightlife, where you wan see that one now.
The most surprising among all is Festac Town. Honestly, they need to jail all the local govt chairmen of Amuwo Odofin since Fashola time for how they allowed Festac Town and it's roads become horrible.
Festac Town that was our Ikoyi, VI and Lekki to we Okokomaikos back then lolz!

The most beautiful and peaceful parts of Lagos before 1978 were Ikoyi, V/I and Yaba. However, after 1978, Festac added to it. Festac was like Europe, until FHA started the magic with corruption. It came to its poor state when the FG took of its hands.

Satellite town was equally beautiful and peaceful, especially within the estates. Unipetrol, CBN and Union bank estates were great places to be. All don scatter.

God dey.

Sorry, you must have had some counting imagination in your heart. The election of 1993 was the freest and fairest ever witnessed in this country. I participated. I was on the line. It was not just the electoral officials only counting. It was everyone counting together. SDP was counting the numbers on the NRC side and vice versa. We voted for MKO Abiola. His lifestyle was the key to his victory. Everyone believed in him. Everyone trusted him. It was very easy.

Option A4 remains the way, no matter the dirty paint the politicians try to make on it. Infact it helps to control vote buying. For those who receive bribes to vote, once it is time, they run away, as they do not want to be seen on the queue. Return to option A and see the difference. The open-secret ballot is full of wayo.

I only narrated my experience and you dispute my own personal experience as if you were in the same place with me at the time.
I still maintain that the election of 1993 was not free from election malpractices based on my own personal experience.
I was in Mokwa Niger state at time remember that Council elections came first and presidential election came last and I am telling you without equivocation that the elections were not different from other elections in Nigeria.

Yeah, Satellite town too used to be.
All I can say is it's well

Exactly what happened in 1993 general elections the supposedly freest election in Nigeria history. I always look at those TV analysts with bombastic eyes each time I hear them eulogies that election because as a little boy then that was the first election I witnessed and I can tell you for free that it was not without rigging the only difference to my little understanding then was that the stake holders were United in the act.

Some of you just create false scenario's in your mind and begin spreading falsehood all over the Internet. It is obvious that you never witnessed that election or you were too young to understand what you claimed to witness.
By 1993 Nigerians were tired of military rule in any form or shape and just wanted the military out of governance. Ibrahim Babangida the head of the military junta never wanted to hand over the governance of Nigeria to anybody. He thought the Option A4 system of voting would fail and end in violence but to his eternal shame and disgrace Nigerians trooped out and queued up in orderly fashion behind the candidates of their choice in the NRC and SDP. Nigerians stood in the rain and sun to vote for the candidates of their choice. It was a free and fair election in my estimation because I cast my vote and it was counted correctly.
Young Nigerians need to know their history. Forget all the propaganda spread by the military government of those days. Babangida,Sanni Abacha,David Mark,Dogonyaro,Diya and other military top shots of that era never wanted to hand over government to any civilians. They just wanted to be playing military game of thrones with the governance of Nigeria. The military regarded the governance of Nigeria as a game of musical chairs in which one military man gets up and another one takes over the chair.
Even if Tofa of the NRC party had won the election the military wouldn't have handed over government to him. It was not an Abiola issue,the simple fact is that the military did not want to quit power at all.

Oga your write up makes me sick I couldn't even stand the rubbish you spewed out. However, you unknowingly confirmed my claims.
As you said Nigerians were tired of military rule and wanted them out ASAP this confirmed what I said that the stake holders were United in the rigging that happened no body opposed it they operated freely jumping numbers, young boys running backwards to be counted multiple times it all happened I witnessed it in person not hearsay or any history book. By the way note that history today was some else's current affairs and that 1993 elections was a current affairs to me so I don't need any historian to tell me what I witnessed at least in my own location Mokwa Niger state.
I often hear people say voters queued behind their preferred candidate but that's not exactly current, it was actually the in front of a large poster of their preferred candidate it is good to put it in proper perspective so that those born in the 90s and 2000 will understand well.
I must also mention that there was coercion to join the line with the larger crowd.
So do come and be telling us that that election was perfect it wasn't.

The write up made you sick and the write up is rubbish.......
Understand one thing nobody has a monopoly of insults!

I never insulted you in my write up. If you want to debunk an argument,you do it with facts not insults.
From your first write up,you boldly stated that you were brought to the polling station by your dad,which implies that you were a minor in 1993.
Secondly your reference to Mokwa in Niger state tells me all I need to know about you. Ibrahim Babangida who annuled the 1993 elections is also from Niger state. So psychologically I understand your jaundiced view point. Tribal loyalty is basically a primordial instinct in most Nigerians. I rest my case.
My final response to you.

Which case are you resting when you didn't have any at first. You are very ridiculous person where did I say my dad took me to the polling unit? And I am not a northerner. Living in Niger state didn't make me lose my identity or impacted my judgement of the election as I only narrated what I witnessed as a teenager then in the local government elections which was conducted first and the rigging got worse in the presidential election which came last. And I maintain my stand that the elite were United in the rigging including police officers.
So my friend you can only speak for your own location and the fact that the election was free in your location doesn't mean it was the same across the country.
