This was in 1981, fast forward to 1984 when Buhari almost killed it, he's back now to murder it forever.

You forgot to mention the part Shagari played and mind you Buhari spent less than 2 years in office. Give me a break joor.

THIS IS WHY WE VOTED IN BUHARI TO REPLICATE THE GLORY THE NAIRA HAD BACK IN THE 80'S. WHEN HE PROMISED TO MAKE THE DOLLAR EQUAL TO NAIRA, MANY HATE FILLED IPO-DUNCE YOUTHS STARTED RAINING INSULTS ON HIM ALL BECAUSE THEY WANT BIAFRA THAT WILL NEVER COME TO PASS. MTCHEEEEW

Replicate the crashing of the naira and the economy abi? God forbid!

What are you talking about, telling us about the 1980's naira. I actually enjoyed the feel inside my pocket of a naira which used to be saluted by dollar in the 70s. In fact, the dollar used to bow and lie postrate before the naira.

End time buhari go finish the thing off completely.
#ZooRepublicOfStupidity

I remember vividly when Buhari changed naira in 1984. A ton(20) bags of cement was being sold for N100 I.e N5 per bag. We should all believe in Nigeria things will get better by the grace of God.

If you noticed carefully, you'll see that it's not really that Naira was strong but more about dollar being weak due to the USA experiencing a recession, even currencies like the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar(Countries with poor economy during the 80s) held their value against the dollar. Not until the second year of Ronald Reagan's presidency did the U.S dollar rebound, coincidentally the Naira began losing its value around the same period from 1984 t0 1993, the Naira witnessed the most dramatic loss in value followed by 2011 to present date.

@thebolded...

GEJ maintained a steady currency flow rate from 2011 to 2015 when he evacuated the office of the presidency!.... I have attached a photo of 2011 dollar exchange rate from CBN and as you know that Naira lose value since March of this year from $153 to $223 and still counting...

And please, always get your facts tighten before you criticise... You've shown that you know nothing...

Of all the dummies on Nairaland, you are the worst of all! You've managed to prove my point in your miserable attempt to sound wise. In 2008 Naira was in the 130s, in 2011 in the 150s, in 2013 in the 180s and 2014 in the 190s and above according to bank rate, is this what you called steady? I pity the mugu that paid your school fees because you are obviously a product of a failed educational system!

End time dream!

I have a dream that one day, Nigeria will return to those good old days when #1 or 50kobo=£1/€1/$1. So help us God. Amen

At times when we are told about how the Naira had more value than the Dollar inthe Eighties,we take it with a pinch of salt. Today i saw a proof in my house with my very own eyes...
An old Book written in the Eighties,with the prize of the book in some countries currencies. The Naira was among these currencies(clearly because it was among the big bills then)...
Note the date and the prize in Naira and Dollar and Pound..

some Nairalanders get ugly toes and fingers sha.... ....

It all went south the moment the abokkis realized that the entire south is capitalist driven and in one last desperate attempt to hold on to their feudal system they struck in a cunning manner and Ojukwu an Igbo man played into their hands while the Yoruba people simply waited and took sides where they can keep both dangerous surrounding tribes at bay while bidding their time - The Niger Delta was a collateral damage and the middle belt are the most unfortunate in the Nigerian program just to oil the colonialists Anglo-American empire as long as they want.
The South west simply ensured that these two ideologically driven different people should not have equal hand in the scheme of things hence the Nigeria of today.if I was in their shoes I'll do the same thing.
Nigeria needs a lot of restructuring to represent the yearnings of the people but at the end of the day everything boils down to personal interest and ambition masked with regional, ethnic and religious interest but these big people are our common enemy. The elites of this country from the North to the South are the enemies of the ordinary people and until the ordinary people understood the principle of democracy and unite against these bandits we are going nowhere.

The same thing that is happening now....
1984 New York Times

When you Fail economics and mathmatics in school your not really a good choice to take over a fragile economy.

Did he actually fail? I mean have yu seen his certificate?

I learnt that in the late 70's Naira has more value than Dollar. NIGERIANS who travel to America were begged by Americans to catch a glimpse of the Naira note! So amazing but today reverse is the case. I also learnt that in the 60's the present day Dubai was a desert area, people rode by horse or camel but today checkout the only 9star hotel in the world. compare there currency with ours and see the difference. We both started oil exploration during the 70's but they acheive far much than us because of our leaders kwaruption!! I rest my case here jare.

1985 was when the decline started.. One man single handedly smothered the Nigerian economy.. And i think that's the reason he's working real hard to make up for his mistakes.
Naija will bounce back. #Believe.

IBB, see what you have done to our Naira. You will be punished for this.

That bastard should be put to Eagle Square for all Nigerians to take some pound of his f^$%^#king flesh.

He and the f $%#÷_£&king brit queen of the coast and ultimate corruption put us in this mess.

When we saw him riding with the Queen we knew we have bn doomed.

May God and the gods and all irunmole punish IBB and his f $÷_#/##king family fir what Nigeria has become.
