$1 = N1 then because Nigeria had manufacturing industries and was exporting goods instead of importing anyhow that we are doing today. Now $1=N700 because of anyhow importation and that has brought along with it, massive poverty. Reckless importation killed the country.

Why did you go back to Nigeria

@@bani491 because no matter how far you wonder you can never deny the attachment to where you come from. I didnt go back as in move back to i go back as often as i can .

I was 6 years old in 1983 in Nigeria. Shagari was president. I also wish I could go back and relive it because the truth is that: adulthood is a fraud😊

@@JohnFekoloid yes, but recent weakening of the naira is due to hoarders of Naira stashed away in rooms, soakaways, and warehouses by businessmen, criminals and corrupt politicians, now selling their naira for dollars, euros and pounds.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

Please remind me the name of the song and the artist

You can say the same thing about me In Accra Ghana after returning in 1994. I couldn't speak English only the French Language. In some ways Africa and Nigeria have not changed much except for the passage of time and Technology.

Glad you like. I wanted to make sure I had the right song for the time.

where was it located please?

80s was fun while growing up

That is presently the most expensive secondary school in Nigeria. Close to 6 million naira annually

@@zimzim3081 are you sure that it is the most expensive?

😂

It was fun putting together. I knew my Dad got to visit 10 years before we moved there.

I tried to find a popular.song from that era. I am glad it works well.

But Buhari became president just about 7 years ago. Why blame him for every set back? Since the video is about Lagos, why not blame the governor of Lagos state?

@@naturalblockade3412He became head of state on the first day of 1984

60s

I do hope to visit again some day!

Better values, better naira value(naira was stronger than dollar in the 70s,)...population 50 - 57 million then and the good road network then was in tandem with the population, public schools and universities of high standard, no cultism or sorting, no terrorism then, more than 200 textile companies in the country working and employing people, railways working and employing people, Nigerian Airways working, NEPA light working 24/7 even in the rural areas that have electricity . Zero or no corruption, no police pos points along the roads......that was Nigeria that was better than your IT compliant skyscraper ladden fake flashy car infested and fake vanity style life that is really SHIIIT with rotten values and poor service delivery worst than half a century ago. Very pathetic if we don't realise than we have fallen and need to go back in time and pick lessons from the past to get healed and get up.

@@kasherimilkong1036 🤣🤣🤣🤣 someone clearly swallowed the Kool-Aid hook, line and sinker….smh “No corruption”? Corruption was the primary reason given by the officers who carried out the first bloody coup d’etat of 1966. Same reason for the 1975 coup that removed Gowon. In fact, Nigeria was such a MESS that by 1967, barely 7 years after Independence, there’d been 2 coups, 2 barbaric genocidal pogroms in the North, an attempted succession led by Isaac Boro in the Niger Delta, 2 states of emergencies in the West and in the Middle Belt, the political trial and imprisonment of the opposition leader in the centre, and ultimately a civil war that resulted in the tragic deaths of reportedly a couple of million (mostly civilian) folks - and the chronic impoverishment of millions more. Meanwhile, not sure what ‘fabu’ your parents or their generation has been feeding you, but thankfully we all have relatively free access to historical information these days and a cursory search will reveal that ECN/NEPA has NEVER provided reliable electricity in post-civil war Nigeria (talk less of 24/7 supply). Similarly, up until 2001, there were barely 400K phone lines for a population approaching 200m, despite the billions poured into the infamous ITT Contract and several other telecommunications projects, and while there were textile mills due to the prevalence of CHEAP UNEDUCATED labor, our ports were clogged with importation of cement (which we now export) and other basic goods. IGNORANCE IS BLISS! Accordingly, those who knew no better in the 1960s/70s/80s misguidedly believe that Nigeria’s performance in the world was comparatively “better”. SMH

I used to drive to kaduna from lagos at night without a care of armed robbers@@kasherimilkong1036

2 wives? You are the man!

Not of God married with two wife's repent Repent

Polygamist or did you commit bigamy?

You can say that again.

Yes, and Victoria Island.

My father was still using 8mm in the early 80s. He changed to cassette tape camera by 1985.

@@rlpittsjr Oh okay

A white man recorded this video. We Nigerians didn't even have any video cameras at all. And you're making mouth.

Bro is possible... The video look old truely

My dad was still using 8mm in the early 80s. He switched to cassette tape camera by 1985.

60's cars are bigger. I can spot a Mercedes and other coupes in this video.
