Happy Independence Day Nigeria!!! Some of the words that describe Nigerians are happy, fun-loving and we are also a people, who are so appearance conscious; that could be both an advantage and disadvantage.

However, no one can take away the fact that we love fashion. Our style game, even before the colonial masters came was a testimony to our fashion intelligence.

Today, we will chronicle how the style scene  has evolved from the 1960s till date. The pictures below tell the rest of the story.
