Are we better than south Africa now??

henrydadon:

It's you



I read the postcard 3 times. It's sentimental and sweet

We've seen the pictures before, they've been recycled many times.

Don't forget we had regionalism then.

North had groundnut, SW cocoa, SE/SS had some coca, rubber & oil palm.

In fact all of Southern Nigeria had fairly similar things to offer. Oil palm or rubber wasn't scarce in SW either.

But no doubt federal income contributed to Lagos growth as National capital. Even though Lagos has been booming since 1860s already.

I think it was more about discipline & foresight of Awo and followers in the SW generally. Until Awo-Akintola stand off came about.

shamecurls:
Some regions still find it difficult to meet-up with a Lagos of 40 years ago

Lagos leads, Others follow

DaBullIT:

So many south east asian cities were at the same developmental level with Lagos in the sixties - Bangkok, Singapore, Manila, Kuala Lumpur etc. They are all better than Lagos today in all ramifications.

OPS please NOTE: THE PICTURES WITH THE WATER FOUNTAIN IN THE MIDDLE IS TINUBU SQUARE AND NOT TBS (TAFAWA BALEWA SQUARE).
FYI: The TINUBU SQUARE IS SURROUNDED BY SEVEN CORNERS NAMELY: (CLOCKWISE) 1) BROAD STREET. 2) KAKAWA STREET. 3) GLOVER STREET. 4) BROAD STREET (CONTINUATION ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SQUARE GOING TOWARDS APONGBON AREA). 5) NNAMDI AZIKWE STREET. 6) ALLI STREET. 7) BAMGBOSE STREET.

I HAVE BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED THAT TINUBU SQUARE WITH ITS 7 CORNERS ALL CONVERGING AT THE WATER FOUNTAINED SQUARE IS A REPLICA OF A STREET IN FRANCE.

FOR THE BENEFITS OF ALL UNINFORMED RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ALIKE, LAGOS ISLAND IS THE REAL EKO AKETE "ILE OGBON" AS WELL AS THE REAL "ISLAND" BECAUSE VICTORIA ISLAND CEASE TO BE AN "ISLAND" SINCE THE DEMOLITION OF MAROKO, WHICH MADE WAY FOR THE NEW VICTORIA ISLAND EXTENSION TOWARDS LEKKI-EPE EXPRESSWAY THUS MAKING VICTORIA ISLAND PART OF A LARGER PENISULA.

SO FOR THE RECORD: ALL OF YOU BUBBLY GUYS WHO LIKES TO FLAUNT YOUR ABODE AS V.I.... LAGOS ISLAND IT IS. YOU CAN AS WELL CALL YOUR V.I... V.P. (VICTORIA PENISULA)...

WHO WANTS TO START THE PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME?

BTW. A MILLION THANKS FOR THESE LOVELY PICTURES. I NEVER KNEW I COULD SEE THESE IN MY LIFETIME, GRATIAS!
Very happy to see my beloved city in its evolving, golden, years...
