Lagos, April 1970 ,in the golden age of newspaper journalism and television broadcasting, there was one man many photographers and cameramen in the city simply could not do without: Mr. John Segun Shanker. At a time when cameras were expensive, delicate, and difficult to replace in Nigeria, Segun Shanker became something of a legend behind the scenes of Lagos’ fast-growing media industry. Journalists, press photographers, and television crews depended heavily on him because he possessed a rare and highly specialized skill bringing damaged cameras back to life. From newspaper darkrooms to television studios, many believed their equipment was safest in his hands. As one account humorously put it, “Segun must never fall sick,” because if cameras failed across Lagos, he was often the man trusted to “doctor” them back into working condition. What made his story even more remarkable was his international training. Segun sharpened his technical expertise in Western Germany, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland ,countries then regarded as leaders in precision engineering and camera manufacturing. He returned to Lagos with knowledge that very few people in Nigeria possessed at the time. This photograph offers more than just a glimpse of one technician at work; it captures an important but often forgotten side of Lagos history ,the people behind the lenses who kept the city’s stories alive. In the 1960s and 1970s, Lagos was rapidly becoming the media capital of Nigeria, filled with newspapers, radio stations, television houses, musicians, political movements, and cultural events. None of these moments could be properly documented without functioning cameras and the skilled hands maintaining them. Long before the digital age, before smartphones and instant uploads, photography was a demanding craft that relied on mechanics, film rolls, precision repairs, and technical expertise. Men like Segun Shanker quietly became indispensable to the storytelling machinery of old Lagos. Today, this image stands as a tribute not only to a talented technician, but also to the overlooked professionals whose work helped preserve the visual history of Nigeria for future generations. 📸 Image Credit: Drum Social Histories / BAHA/AP / Drum Magazine Photographer 📝 Text Credit: (c) ASIRI Magazine, 2026 #HistoricalLagos #LagosHistory #VintageLagos #NigerianPhotography #OldLagos
