Just look at how serene the pooling booth looks. Unlike what we have now where thuggery, theft, indiscipline and all sorts of social vices are the order of the day.
I remembered in 2011 when I worked for INEC during the Guber elections as an official, well you guessed right!

There was once a country.

That 1979, people were looking toward great lives.
Hoping for highly successful nigeria.

But buhari and other greedy generals dragged nigeria backward.
They overthrew the government.

No hope for better nigeria anymore.
Nigeria presently is one of the worst country on earth.

"O shey ori bi apoti fedeco" cheesy grin


Roughly translates, "his head is as big as fedeco box"

By 1979,Nigeria don cast sef,for people saying that everything was different..By 1979,the military has almost run the country down,before handing an almost broke country over to Shagari..Nigeria have always had massive corruption,even when the British were still around(Felix Okotie Eboh was so massively corrupt that a British MP allegedly refused to be seated with him in Stratford house in London,1955)..The British built this country to thrive on corruption,by so doing,they can be able to control certain aspects of the country(resources).

He was not a looter,and if he was as a second Republic governor of 4years,he stole peanuts.
Ambrose Ali,Adekunle Ajasin and Jakande were exceptional governors of the second Republic. Ali was alleged to steal 100,000 naira (like $100k equiv.)by the military tribunal,he was remanded,sick and languishing in prison when he had no money to pay until igbinedion helped out. Jakande offence was he made financial contributions to his party UPN,not for his personal enrichment

The reason Buhari and his dogs truncated that dispensation was nothing but their hatred for the South. Especially the Southwest. Jakande, Bola Ige, Onabanjo and Ajasin were doing very well in the Southwest under the direction of Awolowo and the Southwest was on the path to development which the rest, especially the northerners were not comfortable with. Lagos already signed the contract for a metrorail as far back as 83. Buhari cancelled it straight. Up till today, Lagos lacks a metrorail. The same Buhari came back and messed up the country again with poverty and insecurity.

It annoys me when I see yorubas supporting such an idiot.

This was when our political thugs were babies.

Jakande, may Allah be pleased with your soul, you have a good legacy unlike another man whose legacy will be thugs and rogues, thievery & other looting puppets.

The 79 election might have been peaceful, but the one 4 years later in 83 was marred by widespread vote rigging and violence. Especially in the West, leading to the 83 military coup.
Re: Throwback Video Of Lateef Jakande On Queue To Cast His Vote In July 1979 by ajebuter(f): 8:24am On Feb 21, 2021
I grew up under this party in ldunmota Lagos lsland

My Papa, Mama and Awa Landlord like Pa Jakande like mad..

Everytime, they must raise the cross fingers in 'victory sign' and shout ' up Awo' because Pa Jakande also meant ' Up Awo'

That's the Lagos of my childhood before the coming of what real Lagosians call ' Awon Atohun-riwa' ( outsiders claiming Lagosians).
