Nice one OP. its so sad things hv really fallen apart now in 9ja.

That was when nigeria has not expire.

KahlDrogo:
But you singled out my own comment and ignored his. Why? Is mine worse than his? Ishi, you are not being fair o.

But the only thing he wrote was 'R.I.P Nigeria'. He didn't attack any particular ethnic group. Or did I miss something?

greatgod2012:



my sister, I've been thinking o! Why is modesty in dressing now seen as old fashion by most of our ladies?

I really have no idea o. Society is decaying and morality as being thrown out the window

I just saw Oba of Benin's title on this pic. It speaks so much of how important that title was and still is,even to the colonial masters!!!

KahlDrogo:
For the respect I have for Ishilove and Explorer, I'd refrain from further attacks on this thread .

But know that you have bought a very big trouble. Everyone knows I eat wawa Jews for breakfast.

yeah, even till now Bini people still cherish their Oba like God.

Look at the potentials of the country untill shtt happened.

those groundnut pyramid are now been replaced with mosques and cocoa depot house are now been replaced with churches in the west!

the northern military rulers really messed things up! military did a lot of damages to Nigeria and they are still ruling till date, from ABACHA, IBB, to OBJ , even when Jonah was in power, they formed Boko Haram against the government with military skills, and now Buhari pulled his uniform to further damage things in the name of democracy and change! muzzling everyone out , neglecting the law.

Islandmoon said it!

come and arrest me, I'm on my way to church!

ancient kings were god-king in people's pespective. Check history.

Unqualfied, incompetent and illeterate Hausa Fulani people made us this backward.

alexistaiwo:
Our greatest strength lies in our diversity.
Too bad we have only had corrupt and selfish leaders since independence.

Abeg historians, has any country ever survived without any figurehead leaders but in the community, more like the spartan and Roman civilisation of old where power lies in the voice of the people

Diversity is one of our major problems.

Funjosh:
Where did we lost it

lord lugard's grave

good old day

Only fools would say the Nigerian project is a failed one...She reached greatness in her prime and our gullible and greedy (Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and other tribes) folks fücked her real bad. It's such a shame....now they want to use the blood of the younger generation to cleanse the land. I still don't know how some people don't see there's no gain in violence for those involved but mass (masses) destruction...


AFRICA unite.....God Bless Nigeria!!!!

That thing on that tripod does not look like a camera to me. If you ask me,it looks like some sort of surveying equipment-a theodolite or something? Dunno.

I still have a very old magazine with at least 3 of those pictures that Op has uploaded here.

Explorers:
Fascinating photographs of 1930s Nigeria taken by a high-ranking education inspector in the decades before its independence from Britain have been unearthed after more than 65 years.

The images were captured by Edward Harland Duckworth, who served as inspector of Education in Nigeria from 1930 to 1944, and collated into a photo album by his friend Henry Svory, who was a head of department at Ibadan University at that time.

They provide an insight into the lives of the native population in the West African country in the decades preceding its independence from Britain in 1960.

Edward Harland Duckworth was inspector of education from 1930-1953 and not 1944.

this was when Lord Lugard thought his experiments was working out well, little did he know it was a great error, I wish He's alive today to see how woefully he failed...

What failed woefully?
