The one on the right her hairstyle is beautiful, so it means this hairstyles has been existing since 1922. Nigeria is the best hair stylist

This is historical. Very few bloggers have time to source for artifacts such as these pictures. As a researcher at (4myresearch.com), i know you can only get rare collections from archives and ancient/ritual houses in the rural areas. Good job!

Michael said...

1922? Am impressed. They look somewhat civilized. Whoever got this really did well, even though its looking more like 50's.
Imagine showing them a cellphone or telling them about Twitter. Lol. One day, say year 2105, and they see the pics of Lindas RR, one child would say old school.
