Tinubu Square

Constructed in the 60’s and located in the heart of Lagos. The amazing stages of change.

APAPA PORT.

Think this is Titanic? Surprisingly, it is the MV AUREOL that was delivered to the Apapa Port in 1950.

ok

Was it easy for you to recognize this current bustling part of Lagos? Anyway, this is Idumota linking Carter Bridge from Ebute-Metta to the Island during the late 50’s. This picture woas shot sometime in 1959.


The second picture depicts the scoreboard, showing results of the Federal elections of Saturday, December 12th, 1959. Today, technology plays almost all roles of this kind.

The Federal Palace Hotel is a property of Sun International, located in Victoria Island, Lagos. It was constructed in 1959. It was designed as the hotel that would accommodate foreign dignitaries


The second picture below shows a building that was constructed in Nigeria purposely to provide communication links between England and her West African colonies. This picture was taken in 1885.

But I think overpopulation is the major problem of Lagos.

Wow. Nice one but things have evolved now.

afonjas need to always tank us...

It would have still been like a regular small town if not for the likes of Cosmas Maduka, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu and other businessmen from the SouthEast that transformed it to a wonderland.

Odingo1:
Lagos was built with Nigeria wealth, any other state can look like Lagos if the state was built with Nigeria wealth like Nigeria is building Abuja now.Most part of oil boom in 70s went into building lagos. British also channel all resources to lagos after making it Nigeria capital.

[/s]The oil boom was in the 70s as you claim

The thread was about Lagos in 50 years ago.

Even 1970 was just 48 years ago, so this picture does not fit in.

Get a brain, it's too early to be a dullard.

hmmmmn

Yet your tribe shout the loudest one Nigeria

Wish I was born in those days.

Everything looks peaceful and natural.

Life was peaceful then,there were no touts,agberoes,pickpockets,riffraffs,headhunters,skull miners,no coneheads....unlike what obtains now.

Those people riding bicycle � and pushing wheelbarrow all have coneheads..

Look @ those ones in the crowd looking for how to pick pocket
