Onistha in the olden days

Riverbank buildings inhabited by fishermen are still mostly the same today .... Take a stroll along the Niger bridge or Lokoja bridge to see for thyself

Point is. ... This pishure could have been taken yesterday, its color edited to look old and tagged 'Pishure of Onitsha trading port during the Colonial days'



In other news...


I just paid an Olosho 5 thousand naira for 'overnight service '.... then she also requested Extra 3k for 'night food' .... Please fellow Olosho customers, is this how they used to do?

Did you drink Omo? Onitsha was never a part of your Bini empire. I don't blame you, they don't teach history in the Zoological republic.

This reminds of that classic novel by Clement Agunwa, set in the 1920's/1930's where Nweke an only son refused to go to school, went to hustle in Sapele but came back empty handed and was given the dowry paid on his younger sister to go and hustle in Onitsha.

This a city that has alot of potential I must say

Ok

This is while Nnamdi Kanu's followership is increasing exponentially

The Zoogerian you quoted is from the Western flank of the Zoo, they regard everybody in Lower Niger as Omo ibo

They neither teach Geography nor History in the Zoo because the Monkeys and Baboons are scared of evolution

Igbanke (Igbo-akiri) and Owa (my ancestral home) blocked the Bini expansionists from moving south east.

Onitsha 21st century

And some folks will come here telling us igbo land is land locked they have no par with sea blabla. . This is a port delibrately grounded by the nigerian govt forces just for the fear of igbo evolution.

This is awesome.

It has a lot of potential? The city with the largest market in west Africa has a lot of potential? You obviously haven't been to Onitsha, the day you do, your jaw will be on the floor. It is one massive concrete jungle.

Onitsha 21st century

I see all those 5 story buildings in the background, how in Gods name do the people that reside in the 5th floor get water up, I'm sure none of those buildings have elevators.

There is a reason the igbos are suppressed in Nigeria

Awka

Respect to all people from the land of the rising sun, una too much
