EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, presents a breathtaking view of Lokoja, a historic city located in central Nigeria, West Africa. The image showcases the picturesque blend of the African countryside and the architectural influences of colonial rule. In the foreground, a series of traditional huts made of grass and mud are scattered across the landscape, their thatched roofs merging seamlessly with the rolling hills in the background. The huts, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the people, stand in stark contrast to the imposing Government Church on the left. The church, with its red-tiled roof and tall, whitewashed walls, represents the architectural legacy of the British colonial rule that began in Lokoja in the late 19th century. The hill in the distance, adorned with lush vegetation, adds an element of serenity to the scene, while the clear blue sky overhead completes the idyllic tableau. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the interplay between tradition and modernity in Lokoja during the early 1900s.
