So, we dug into the archives, and guess what we found?

It’s an old picture of the popular Marina Street in Lagos Island, Lagos state.

The picture also features the legendary General Post Office, situated on Marina Street. The picture is believed to have been taken in 1973.

However, our attention was drawn to the radical transformation of the Marina street.

For instance, the distance between the Marina waterfront – then and now.

What other difference do you notice?

I also noticed that you did not give credit to the owner / source of the photographs

Nice, good development

It looks like it was sandfilled.

Hmm

Dividends of western civilization.
Surprisingly, "NOTHING" changed afterwards.
As a matter of fact, it deteriorated from great to worse.

In the olden days, it was cleaner and better. Now it is just filled with dirt

One of my Houses is there.

Lovely

I didn't see any changes there is just that that old building that is cycle is still dere no changes at all.. so. Who can tell me there is changes dere..

Ok

I don't understand

LAGOS one of the beautiful city in Nigeria

That rig has been rendered useless after being seized by first bank den amcon. 25b loan outstanding. The owners don cash out run

So the water was very close to the building . I passed through the steet last week wen i was heading to Wuse Market

Funny enough am currently inside one of those buildings, despite not being born when the first pix was taken.

wow

Lagos is built as a city, the same way ''Jerusalem is buit as a city strongly compact''

Tell BUHARI to step down for Ambode for just 1 year..


Oh sorry BUHARI doesn't have up a year self

Where is the river na?

Not much has changed. Prove of lack of innovative governance. The structures aren't maintained and new ones are rarely built.

Marina should be the 'centrum' of Lagos reflecting it's beauty to the outside world but it's unfortunate that after decades, still the same 'one man ideology' deprives her of that splendor.

I prefer the first pic!

But come oh....was the Atlantic that close to the street back then, or are my eyes deceiving me?

the population increase in Lagos is getting out of hand. The former picture looks more attractive than the latter. the latter looks so scary!

Lagos the most beautiful city in Africa

Does it mean all the land in front of the post office building was reclaimed? The water was really close in the first picture.
