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.

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.

Hi LeanHardy 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.

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.
