The difference is clear in terms of orderliness.
What is responsible for the obstreperous nature of Lagos today?

I don't want any excuses.

Because people in those days were closer to being real Africans. It's unfortunate that crucial information has been wiped off from our brains but to be African means to be orderly.

They operated with their African consciousness mostly still intact.

Important:
Note that there were few schools and MORE so called uneducated people in Lagos. Few churches, mosques and MORE so called African pagans "who don't know God". Few people who can speak English but MORE people speaking to ourselves in our native languages. That's why you had orderliness. The more we construct our lives with what our ancestors didn't create, the more we'll destroy ourselves. Things would really get very bad for us before it gets better.

The difference between the two pictures is this:
First one was taken in the Marina of those days while the second one is the present day Oshodi. Period.

Of all the pictures of present-day Lagos out there, you had to pick an unflattering one? What's your real agenda?
Oh you want the Lekki pictures and others. When a place is developed, it'd reflect on everywhere. Go to developed countries and see if you'd find any slum

Just note that sizewise, Tokyo is the largest city in the world, and if I am not mistaken, population=wise, Lagos, if not the fastest growing, ranks among the fastest growing.

Are you saying Lagos is lawless and without decisive leaders.
You should be ashamed mentioning Igbos. So the Igbos own Lagos ba?

Truth is during the 60s the orderliness from colonial masters was stil there, but failure to keep to that orderliness is as a result of those not born in 60s era, nd inability in abiding to rules and regulations not to talk of obeying the laws.
