    1. Kingsway Department Store, not mall. There was one in almost every major city in Nigeria until Buhari took over on 1984. Harsh economic environment led to low patronage and they left along with others like Leventis Stores, Chanrais etc.

    2. Those 1959 days, one dollar was equivalent to one naira. Nigerians didnt need visa to travel to London. But today, corruption has taken over Nigeria. I wish the colonial masters stayed longer, Nigeria would have been good today. Truth be told
