Throwback to the Nigerian Parliament in the 1960s. As the current National Assembly debates a review of our constitution, it’s time to ask ourselves: Should Nigeria return to the parliamentary system of government? 🇳🇬

Back then, a parliamentary structure aimed to reflect regional representation, accountability, and diversity. Could reviving it address today’s pressing governance issues, or are we better off with the current system? Let us know your thoughts! 💬👇🏽

US Consulate in Lagos, 1958 🇺🇸
This historic image captures the original US Consulate building in Lagos, located on Victoria Island. Back in the 1950s, the consulate operated from this modest structure, symbolizing early diplomatic ties between the United States and Nigeria. Over the decades, the presence of the US in Lagos has grown significantly, reflecting the evolving relationship and expanding needs.

Today, the US Consulate General Lagos is having a massive state-of-the-art complex in Eko Atlantic, a modern city within Lagos. This facility, inaugurated in 2023, spans 12.2 acres, embodying the growth of US-Nigeria relations in areas such as trade, security, and diplomacy.

From a humble colonial-era building to a modern hub of diplomacy, the journey of the US Consulate in Lagos is a testament to the strong and enduring partnership between both nations.

This is a sweet throwback to one of Africa’s most iconic unions! When Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, married the elegant Egyptian beauty Fathia Rizk in 1957, it was more than a marriage — it was a powerful symbol of Pan-African unity.

Together, they embodied a vision of a united Africa, transcending borders and cultures. Their love story reminds us that true partnerships can change the course of history.

“Warrior of the Bornu Empire: The Last Crusader of Africa!”

This image captures a proud warrior from the Bornu Empire, one of West Africa’s most formidable kingdoms. He stands clad in a rare piece of history—a medieval Crusader’s chain mail armor and sword, symbols of resilience and adaptation in the face of both internal and external threats. 💥

⚔️ Did you know? The Bornu warriors adopted and modified this type of armor after centuries of contact with North African traders and Ottoman forces, making them some of the few African soldiers equipped with such protective gear. 🔥

📖 The Bornu Empire, known for its military prowess and strategic prowess, stood as a beacon of resistance in the Sahel for centuries. This warrior, donned in Crusader mail and wielding a sword, would have faced invaders and defended the empire against the encroaching influence of European colonial powers in the late 19th century. ✊🏿

💡 Fun Fact: By the 1800s, the Bornu Empire had integrated various armaments, mixing traditional African warfare with influences from the Mediterranean and even remnants of the Crusader era! 💪🏿

Share to honor the legacy of these African knights, whose stories are often forgotten in mainstream history!

In the past amazing pictures were taken for our postcards, such is an a fantastic culture replaced by our phone-status pics.

Imagine having your picture taken in the village and you end up on a national post card and then on your nation’s currency. Wow!

I wonder where they are now.

With the election of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe as Nigeria’s first republican president in 1963, we embarked on a promising path towards self-governance and unity.

His leadership at the time symbolized our commitment to democracy and the ideals of a new republic, setting the nation on what be the right course for a prosperous future.

The great African continent before the Europeans messed it up!

At the infamous Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, European powers carved up Africa, ignoring ethnic boundaries and dismantling thriving kingdoms.

This unfortunate division sowed seeds of discord, leading to decades of conflict and decline across the continent.

It’s time for African nations to reclaim their destinies by fostering unity, reviving cultural identities, and building strong, self-sufficient economies.

The path to greatness begins with acknowledging the past and working together to shape a brighter future for all Africans.

Lessons learnt from the Dr Goodluck Johnathan’s administration was that no matter how huge a protest could be, if well managed such will be all well and end positively.

Hence our history clearly shows us that every well managed situation will bring all that is good.

Please take the poll after the caption, let’s know whether you feel he was wrongly accused or not?

Obafemi Awolowo, a prominent Nigerian nationalist and political leader, was convicted of attempting to overthrow the government in 1963.

Despite his significant contributions to Nigeria’s independence and development, he and several others were accused of plotting a coup against Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa’s administration. Awolowo denied the charges, but the court found him guilty, leading to his imprisonment.

The incident highlighted the intense political rivalries and instability in post-independence Nigeria. The lessons learned include the importance of due process in political accusations, the potential for misuse of legal systems for political gain, and the need for political tolerance and unity in nation-building efforts.

Do you believe Awo actually plotted against Tafawa Balewa back then

It seems the side-chics had been on the prowl for a very long time meaning such fears of side-chics is not a new phenomenon at all.

An interesting article in the Morning Post dated September 1963 highlighted areas a woman could work on to keep her man.

Such indicates that these intruders had been a problem from our days when the country was still very sane.

Adding my own two cents to the matter is just advising our women to just do their possible best and all will be alright.

“…Segregation by day, desegregation by night…,” were the words of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., highlighting the hypocrisy of many segregationists of his time.

Though slavery was a harsh treatment of humans by their fellow humans, segregation and exclusion were highly enforced. However, such enforcement excluded intimate sessions across races throughout this insane period. In fact, Afro-Euro intimate night-relations and marriages were found to have existed throughout the period.

In Ghana, under British rule (1874-1957), intermarriage between European men (especially British officers) and African women became problematic. The colonial government attempted to curtail it with a so-called Marriage Ordinance in 1887 and then banned it outright for government officials and the military in 1907 by decree. Many of the senior officials who were responsible for enforcing these laws during the day were accused of breaking same laws by tiptoeing every night.

The photo above clearly illustrated Europeans who defied these laws, featuring French officers in Ghana who had defied the in*******al laws, posing for a group photograph with their Ghanaian wives and children.

Thankfully, today, with the enshrinement of universal human rights, issues like bans on in*******al and intertribal marriages are no longer problems but are instead celebrations of love.

Let’s uncover the lost legacy of African innovation and spark a conversation about reclaiming our forgotten brilliance. Did you know that the 11th century Ile-Ife glassmakers were centuries ahead of their European counterparts? While Europe struggled with basic glass techniques, ancient Ife artisans mastered intricate glass bead-making, blending art and science to perfection. So why did we fall behind after being so far ahead? Please let’s know in the comments section. Verification: Excavations at sites like Igbo Olokun in Ile-Ife have revealed remnants of furnaces and glass beads that were manufactured using unique recipes. This discovery supports the argument that indigenous groups in West Africa were not only trading in glass but also actively producing it with advanced techniques that rivaled other parts of the world at the time. . . . #AfricanHistory #Innovation #NigerianHistory #explorepage #reels
