    1. Actually, I take back my first comment. I didnt realize this was not Nigeria. My bad. And to rhe people making fun of them. I wonder what you morons would have done. It was in the 40's and you all wouldnt have done anything differently. But you can go ahead pretending even though you people still wow at the site of Lagos bridge. Pretenders!

  15. Anyone from Nigeria would / most part of Africa would have marveled / admired this wonderful technology at that time as well. it was not available in Nigeria and No one in Nigeria would have seen it except they travel to the UK / western world at that time. Ya'll need to stop being pretentious.
