Pls how can i get ds felas music, wats d title

This film must have been made before 1972 when people in Nigeria were still driving on the left hand side of the road.

Well done Camila 👍🏿

Yeah. Tinubu was the one who built Lagos and develop it even before 1970s😂😂😂

7:30 Wow, that was TINUBU WATER FOUNTAIN.

Awesome, bring back fond memories growing up ….. early schooling days when Lagos was not overpopulated and polluted

The fact that there are many ghosts in the clip 😢is what makes me want to cry 😭

Tinubu really destroyed Lagos and some mumus said he built Lagos.

All I see here is Marina part of Lagos. Is there Victoria island and banana island in the 70's?

Please research for all the music and please share with me to record. thanks

Lagos as been been develop not today

What's that music from 6:03 please

I miss this old Nigeria

so sad the state and country hasnt changed much over the years , only thing that has changed is the way people dress .. now we got big boys and slay queens lol

Thank you for this beautiful video. Seeing 'Chellarams, Leventis, Lagos boat club, the old Marina, Onikan, Ikoyi hotel, etc, brought back sweet memories of Lagos (in particular), and my dear country (in general). There's one video I have been searching for and I don't know if your grandfather recorded one - it's the video of 'Ikoyi Park' before it was destroyed to make way for residential buildings in the early '80s. We used to have picnics there back then, and the place was later allowed for seasonal parties like Easter. Thank you once again. Best regards.

The time stamp seem valid. Notice how the person filming is sitting on the left hand side. The driver would be on the right hand side. Must've been before Nigeria switched to left hand side driving in April of 1972.

Good looking and well-ogranized human and vehicular traffic. Even climate change was not big issue then as Bar-Beach was not inundating as today. It shall be well!

when roads were tarred now they messed up island with this interlock nonsense they never do well and it will still destroy public infrastructure was better and population was way better

Jungle

Many thanks for sharing. Well done. At the risk of sounding forward, might we ask: was his Bertil Westin parent of yours?

1:00 Yoruba PHD In Partying. 🙂😊😜

Today's Lagos is far more beautiful..better infrastructure

I now understand why my parents said there was no reason to travel abroad 😔😔😔 Painful now

The way it looks even lagos was tourist attraction for the white people. So beautiful and calm , you don’t need visa to go anywhere then

I doubt if we would've a Lagos with this low population density again. Look at how clean and less dense Marina was.

All these streets are now littered with plastics and dirt.

No scrap vehicles on the roads then. Our leaders need to be reminded of their inabilities.

Please sale Nigeria now and give me my share from the 70's.

Who 20 yrs coming lagos will scattered more than it is currently

hi camilla did u ever visit den? so lovely to see these footages

The good old days..... Everywhere so clean and well arranged.... Nigeria will be great again

See rich me cars those days

Nigerian Leaders have no focus and lack of ability to maintain government infrastructure as a result of their greediness, nonchalant attitude, self centredness, above all, lack of love for the masses.

Thanks Camilla Westin for posting this neat & memorable archive footage of Lagos in 70's. Without the whites who keep records so well, a big part of our history would have been lost .😇

Would you by any chance be that little girl in the blue dress with her elder brother, inspecting what looks like a grammar school?

Now you can only manage to walk through...everywhere is congested .

There was a country. This made me cry. We wasted 50 solid years. We are just giving birth like fowl, no planning, no foresight. We went from 70m to 200m. Tbh, we are the true definition of failure.

Beautiful

@6:35 There's a Subaru 360(Japanese epoch making K-car) in the film. That seems impressive for me.

Roads was even more okay then than now na who do us ?

Nostalgic! I was born in Ibadan in the 70s

Everything you see is a result of what was done 25 years previously....The groundwork was laid in the 50s....Today's Lagos is 1995's groundwork....

1976 Nigeria population was about 70 million.Now 2020, Nigeria population is over 200 million. Over population isn't a blessing to us but a course, Nigerians needs family planning

Less corruptions and crimes, today greedy and envy has destroyed Nigeria

90% of adults you are seeing on this video are dead now

See how time flies

c'est moi ou j'ai la sensation que LAGOS dans les année 70's était propre moins détérioré que aujourdhui 2020 ?

The road is quiite empty and less busy beacuse there are no street traders

Thank you for posting this precious footage, which reignited my memories of Lagos when I first travelled there as an adolescent in September 1971 and lived in the city until mid 1973. Although I had the opportunity to see Lagos again a few times many years later, my memory of the first experience is the sweetest. It was different then and I miss the old Lagos of the early 70s.

I'd suggest listening to Tony Allen - Road Safety whilst watching this video. Get the full Lagos experience
