Mr Lover of White Colonialists

Back then, 98% of Nigerians, including your grand or great grandparents, were stark illiterates, courtesy of the colonialist's total neglect of education. Cars were only for the super rich. People walked around barefoot. Malnutrition was rife. Our founding fathers had a good reason for fighting the colonialists.

The British exported all those groundnut pyramids but you never ask what they did with all the money, such that your country was an underdeveloped bush by 1960, after 90 years of uninterrupted white rule and export of your resources, including cocoa, tin, rubber, iron ore, palm oil, coal etc, which fetched huge sums in those days.

So instead of glorifying your own subjugation, and automatically equating white colonial faces with 'the good times', you should rather, employ your grey matter, and ask yourself pertinent questions about that era.

That is Sir Louis Ojukwu's double "R". He borrowed the Rolls Royce and his chauffer to get the queen around on the visit.

Why should any of these pictures make us wish to ''time travel'' back to then?
