    Hi LeanHardy
    I am glad you enjoyed my small video on CZcams.
    And yes there is more, but not on CZcams. I lived in Port Harcourt in 1956 untill 1958 (Zik Avenue Amadi flats) and after that in Umukoroshe until 1961.

    This is such a precious moment in now Nigeria's history. I was born in Port Harcourt in the late 1970s. A lot has really changed. Thanks for posting.😇🙋

    Nigeria was far better during this era than what it is now.

    Sorry, I have nothing to do with Britain nor the Union Jack. I am Dutch. And I happened to live in Nigeria for 8 years (1953 - 1961). And I have to say it have been 8 very interesting years, on which I look back with great pleasure.

      Cool story. Where you a part of the crew that established the Royal Dutch Shell Company (Shell Darcy) at Oloibiri, near Port Harcourt?

      @@henrix10 All I know is that my father was part of drilling for oil in Onitsha, Warri and Oloibiri. We as a family lived in Owerri and Umukoroshe, I was just a child age 3 until 10. We left Nigeria after your independence in 1960.

    Thanks Nicolb50, I watched your video with Great Pleasure. Just the ordianry history of it. I am from Port Harcourt, although I was born in the 1980's, my mother was in school in 1956 and was among the pupils who went to welcome the Queen on this her particular visit to Port Harcourt. She tells the story with pleasure.
    And the two boys, at th eend of the film, who posed and refused to move away are just class!
    Got any more?

      Rivers State is not known as Port Harcourt. Port Harcourt is simply it's capital. Dumb fuck.

    Ugob13...ojukwu and Gowon were each twenty seven years old military generals when the Nigerian civil war was faught because of ojukwu's greed. God bless the nation for such a forgiving spirit God bless the happiest people in the world Nigerians in Jesus Christ name amen.

      Because of Ojukwu's greed? I can see you're the biggest fool the worl has ever known and will ever know. Your father is also a fool for not sitting you down and getting it right with you.

      I'm in your lifetime you may have opportunities to review the situations that birth the war and the history of that era once again. In war there are Victor's a d there are vanquished. The intrigues, dynamics that engendered the struggle lives. Thats why nations, people war and fight intemittently ad Infiniti
