I am sorry for that man that will ask for your hand in marriage. You lack manners.

Don't be deceived, that's a male. An imbecilic male

Staff quarters University of Nigeria Nsukka.

From the angle and the hostels in the background, this could be the present Margaret Cartwright Avenue!

The buildings built in those days were so solid!

See how neat and tidy everywhere looks.

It might look like a stone age period but then things were orderly.....

I have not seen pix of where the people lived then.Shell,Mobil thingy.
Great pix.

Biafrannuke:
tribalism has always been with Nigeria.

True dat!

But then it was better managed and wasn’t so noticeable and destructive as all the regions had a appreciable level of independence from one another!

It’s more noticeable and more destructive now b’cos of the unitary system of gov’t we operate, and the strong, omnipresent federal gov’t that controls pretty much everything!

If any of those folks in the picture were told that Nigeria will be a mess like this someday,
I don't think they will believe

But wait o!

Did we have color camera by 1960?


Just asking

See development brought by oyibo then..before the inferior mbutu black African sub human species assumed leadership and turned the country into a shithole..call it self-hatred but Idgaf!Truth.

FrLukas:
Beautiful pictures. The same could be said for other cities and towns in Nigeria of that era.

Over the years, our Nigerian cities have become an eyesore, unplanned and looking ghastly from the sky. It's almost as if a war just recently ravaged the country.

In a nation where everyone in the building construction industry, including town planners are doing the work of the architect and the architect in turn has abandoned his own work and is now a contractor, how won't our cities look like a huge refugee camp?

A handful of places where Europeans (precisely, the British) worked and shopped does NOT make a city...

Most of the rest of the indigenous population lived in slum-like settlement and largely in filth, lacking in basic amenities.

See how beautiful this black lady look?

Kapeter:
stating the obvious is now a crime?

carpenter, you're not stating the obvious. Your heart is fill up with hate that you can't see what's obvious.

Kapeter:
you know azikiwe with his typical Igbo greedy skull thought he was smart and was playing a funny game led every leader to say what they said. Even Balewa described the new country as a mistake all because of Azikiwe games.

Azikiwe and Ironsi are the reason we are all here today.

While Azikiwe and Ironsi have played their own part (more than 50 yrs ago i hasten to add)....the major reason why we all are here today and continuing to face the ancient challenges other countries have since confronted and sorted out, is because of two-faced, hypocritical, bigoted, hateful and parasitic ‘one Nigerianists’ like you!

For how long will you sit back and continue to justify the mess you’re currently in b’cos you think it’s the forefathers of the people you despise that caused it!?

You really are pathetic!

I wish i was born in that era. Chai, make this world end but we start afresh.

OreMI22:
One of the oldest airports in Nigeria.

Yet, some people motivated purely by nepotism and the need to STOP other regions from developing indefinitely shut down the ONLY international airport in the entire region. Then started a litany of excuses and foul politics with fixing the so called "issues" they hitherto promised to quickly fix once they were allowed to shut down the airport for repairs.

There is little wonder why Nigeria is so divided today and why they have held down the entire country in their wickedness to punish whole sections of the country for their voting pattern?

Did OBJ or GEJ punish any section of the country for their voting pattern? Go figure why Nigeria has truly become an unsustainable union and a bloodbath waiting to happen. Unless it returns to the Independence constitution agreed to by our founding fathers.

I will not pretend to understand the local ‘politics’ of this discourse...
But I have been to that airport, and something needed to be done before mass casualties result.

See as oyibo full everywhere...and looking relaxed and at ease! They’re no longer at ease!

Kapeter:
No wonder azikiwe want to die in yorubaland before pa Awo put him in his right place. See how underdevloped the whole place look. Not even houses. Lmao.

So when we say you lots fore-fathers were living on the tree and inside the mountain unknowingly, we've been right all along. Smh. No good roads, nothing nothing, not even houses.

Ibadan was on top of her game as at 1950s not to talk about Lagos. Smh

God forever bless Oduduwa republic man.

mumu pictures below are current 2019 pics of the useless Ibadan the heritage of Afonja ppl now compare this to Enugu of 1959 not even the present Enugu state see below

cool

Please where can one get any of these old African cars? can anyone help with a link? .

We are willing to buy at reasonable price even if reasonably rusted.

Chief, abeg, please, don't try it.

All those old cars were so bad that they wore out within a few years. And they were glaringly unsafe.

Plus, where are you going to find spare parts?

EmmyBiggy:
I will never forgive Zik for failing to divide this country called Nigeria into different entities

My only issue with Zik is that a widely-travelled and intelligent man like him should have had an idea of the nature, character and values of the people he was lumping together with his! It should have been obvious to him that we’re just not compatible together!

I think Enugu state was more beautiful then than now.

These are beautiful pictures that showed a significant amount of development. How i wish this continued? It's just sad that shit happened

ZombieTAMER:
The black man stole 20 trillion dollars from Nigeria since 1960 till date...

The culprits we worship today

People like Buhari and Abacha

IBB and Obasanjo

you don't even know what one trillion dollars is,you are poorly enlightened

Chai, make this world end but we start afresh.

1.Most people did not have power//light back then. (Ask your grandparents, most of them used lanterns etc to read.).

2.Most houses did not have a phone, or phones.

3.Cars were way more expensive than they are now. At best , you would have to use a cycle.

4.Schools were good...but a lot tougher back then. Academically. (5 credits at O level might not be good enough to get you to A level....).

5.Think the road network is bad now?? It was worse back then. (Until the 1970's when Nigeria had something resembling a modern highway system).

6.Railways were there...but very slow. (It took my dad three days to get to Kaduna from Lagos by rail in the early 1970's!)

7. Speaking of travelling...most people travelled in trucks. A BEDFORD truck , where you sat in the truck bay on one uncomforable seat, and travelled for a long period of time (Luxury buses did not come till the 1970's).

8. At least the only benefit...life was a lot safer.

9. If you owned a car...1950's and 60's cars were unsafe, wore out easily, and were bad. It wasn't till the late 1960's before we got something resembling today;s modern car.

Are you sure?

Rock crushing sheds at Nkalagu cement factory.

Pic2: Nigercem Nkalagu cement factory

nice one OP..But this Nigercem Nkalagu is in Ebonyi state and not Enugu

God will punish the military for disrupting our democracy ���

We need to do more on industrialization of the coal city. The few industries we had like ANAMCO and the likes are already dead.


An thriving industrial park is needed ASAP.
