Throwback photo of C.M.S in Lagos goes viral, Nigerians react

An old photo of how C.M.S in Lagos looked like in 1993 has generated a lot of buzz among Nigerians online.

In the photo, C.M.S looked very beautiful and orderly. The cathedral stood tall and very white.

Few people walked around the place, and vehicles were correctly parked.

Reacting to the photo, some netizens stated that the place could have been Nigeria's own Times Square, but has unfortunately been mismanaged.

1993 Lagos is more organized & beautiful than 2023 Lagos.

This place would have been our own version of Times Square.

I will love to have Lagos of 1993 than having Lagos of 2023 where everywhere is just split and crowded
