You forgot to mention that 17k wasn't small cash then too, not every could afford it then. New Peugeot 504 car cost less than 10k that time. Economy was good and many Nigerian civil servants were able to afford new cars not second ones.There was no tokumbo at that time. A good meal in a good restuarant cost around 2 naira. From the East to Lagos was around 7 naira. One dollar was around 3 naira then. Nigeria was destroyed by inconpetent, corrupt and greedy northerners and their yoruba puppets! |

With that amount so many could still not travel out of the country just as it is still difficult today. No matter how cheap a commodity or service is, only thosa who could afford will have it. No wonder my late grandpa couldn't buy a volkswagen car in his time |

Lagos New York Lagos! Looks like a round trip to me, a one-way ticket should be about 9000naira.The time frame also falls within early Nineties. 17k is still not easy to get, people still find it difficult to fly Abuja to Lagos even at early booked price of 10k. |

Jsut because it was 17k, does not mean it was cheap back then. But, it is nice to know. OP, the pic below is not actually the plane used back then. Those planes could not fly cross Atlantic back then. The sign board also clearly states "Nigerian Airways to Kaduna". |
