I'm so happy about the present transformation (or re-transformation) of my beloved Lagos State (Las Gidi) - and I have decided to bring back memories (with pictures) - of what the great city of Lagos used to look like. Bear in mind that Lagos wasn't built by the colonial masters - the Lagos elites (mostly business men from the slave trade era), and slave returnees built Lagos.
PS: I'm not trying to knock the colonial masters - I'm basically just trying to give credit to those who made Lagos what it was then. Old Lagos, the city my dad will never stop talking about.
Enjoy!
