I'm a Festac boy, through & through. I grew up & spent my formative years there. How a melting pot of culture came to be the representation of impunity is something to behold. This year, I spent Christmas in Festac. This is a thread of how my heart bleeds for this beautiful town
We moved into Festac from Shomolu in 1978. I remember it then like it was yesterday. The place felt like London. There was no electric pole in sight. The streets were clean. There was a love garden and play area for kids in each close. It felt like paradise. #Festac
Back then when you moved into #Festac, you get a visit from NITEL to install your phone line. The waste disposal people came every Thursday with their big trucks. There was a Gen in every close to power street lights at night. In the early days it used to power all the houses.
