You can’t find pictures of young nikkas back in the day they all look totally different. They all look like MLK JR, or Marcus Garvey, or Malcolm X, Medger Evers, etc. Even black women had classy looks to them won’t no Megan theee stallions or Nicki Minajs walking around. Was it the food or the chemicals sprayed in the air.

It’s not AI.

It was taken by a photographer called Northcoote who came to Southern Nigeria right after the British conquest of the region. So, people still dressed as their forefathers did.

Hand-colouring Northcote Thomas's photographs - [Re:]Entanglements
Fair enough on the authenticity though I don’t see that photo with the rest in the link you sent. The British had been in Nigeria since at least the 1700’s and had dominance in the area since the 1850’s.
