Nigeria has grown to be Africa’s largest economy; the country has transformed from an unpretentious mishmash to a soaring capital in less than a century. You will be amazed at how Nigeria has changed throughout history, from economic growth, population growth, innovative government, oil and gas boom, transportation, real estate developments and revolutions. We look back at the history of Nigeria, we remember the good times and the bad times, we also look at the way people used to live and dress.

We present to you old photos of Eric Chicago When he was a Peace Corps Volunteer In Nigeria that will show you how times have changed in Nigeria. These stunning photos show the big difference between those days and now:

Ahhh, lovely pictures. It evokes this feeling of nostalgia. Life was peaceful in those days.

Why on earth aren't the Nigerian Inland Waterways (NIWA), and other coastal states exploring the option of sea freight, and using ferries to convey cars and goods along our coastal waterways in Nigeria, on a large scale?? Imagine if there was a well-equipped vessel conveying goods and passengers from Lagos to Asaba and Port-Harcourt on a bi-weekly basis. Just calculate how it would boost commerce in those areas, and take the weight of our roads..

To those who will not allow us hear word because someone in alaibo put lego together and modeled a helicopter in 2015.

Look in picture 34. One of the boys is holding a scaled model of a turboprop engine airplane, probably constructed with bamboo strips. This was back in 1964! More incredible, no noise was made!!

Wow

Ooooh! sorry, *raises my hand in surrender* I really asked a stupid question. I was in a taxi then.... Sowie.

Stuffs like this should be on front page. Not some celebrity dishwashing news. Wish Nairaland can regain its lost value. Happy Val President Bubu.
