Traveling to the sixties

I was just wondering what the world was like during the 1950s. I think it was not so simple like the way it is today. I have to accept that technology has changed a lot of things around. Some of the old cultures and old traditions has changed tremendously.

All these things don't seems to have happened too fast but through a lot of thinking, a lot of spending, resolutions after resolutions, decisions after another and a lot of creativity.

After Nigeria got independence in the year 1960, I was wondering the kind of joy that would have filled the heart of the people.

If I had the choice of choosing one of the three decades above, and to visit past time and choose when to be born, maybe I would have chosen 1960s but I will be lagging behind on capturing some information that I really want to know about. It will take me some time to grow and understand things and I might be missing out.

It would have been a very important thing for me to know how my country arrived where we are today. I would have loved to learn a first hand knowledge from a few things that happened back then that makes leadership in Nigeria to be as though, it's not happening anywhere else.

I would have loved to monitor most of the things that happened to our cultures and why we could not improve on our economy. Basically, I would have chosen to be born in the fifties. I will grow for ten years to witness the scenarios of choice of government.

It would interest me a lot to witness how things were messed up the economy and the education was during the first elected governor era. I mean governor-Nnamdi Azikwe era, but I don't like to witness the war because I don't know if I would have been one of those that were recruited in the army. Maybe one of those people that died during the civil war. Just a thought though.

I imagine what it feels like to pioneer being a decision maker for your country. Definitely, it is much easier to do things for the first time without a similar pattern to look upon.

At this my age if I was living in the sixties, I would have been one of the people that benefit from the institutions that arose during those when education in Nigeria was still at the peak of its value.

Maybe I would have been a flourished writer like Wole Soyinka also. There is a possibility for that. Here I am with improved technology but depleting education standard. Where we still need to go for extra education even after going through an institution.

Those pictures are mine, I snapped a notebook and the second was while I was strolling around the campus. I saw the seat and decided to take a snap shot
