Ugob13...ojukwu and Gowon were each twenty seven years old military generals when the Nigerian civil war was faught because of ojukwu's greed. God bless the nation for such a forgiving spirit God bless the happiest people in the world Nigerians in Jesus Christ name amen.
God bless the Great British empire for all their good heavenly intentions I remember back in Warri in the early sixties everything looked and operated just like any town in England because we were born in England and as a child I noticed no difference from England then. Everything was functionable The fire brigade The council the hospitals even have white and black Nigerian nurses then.
I am glad you enjoyed my small video on Youtube.
And yes there is more, but not on Youtube. I lived in Port Harcourt in 1956 untill 1958 (Zik Avenue Amadi flats) and after that in Umukoroshe until 1961.
Thanks Nicolb50, I watched your video with Great Pleasure. Just the ordianry history of it. I am from Port Harcourt, although I was born in the 1980's, my mother was in school in 1956 and was among the pupils who went to welcome the Queen on this her particular visit to Port Harcourt. She tells the story with pleasure.
And the two boys, at th eend of the film, who posed and refused to move away are just class!
Sorry, I have nothing to do with Britain nor the Union Jack. I am Dutch. And I happened to live in Nigeria for 8 years (1953 - 1961). And I have to say it have been 8 very interesting years, on which I look back with great pleasure.
This video is good footage of the root of Nigerias problem "Britain". Imperialist that forced the tribes into FALSE UNION of 1917 memory. Away with Union jack!
Nope. It is not. Just some people waving the flags of their conquerors with glee. It is better to live in a dirty house of your own than to live in a five star prison. Nigeria under the British was a like that. It is rather unfortunate that our leaders just couldn't see beyond their noses.
Was this what my city looked like?

Nigeria was far better during this era than what it is now.
