gbosaa: Well you are saying two different things, am not as old as you think, I just know prices due to receipts I also found as my dad and mum (especially) keeps those things. Things were cheaper those days but we could say life wasn't as easy but things are expensive nowadays but we have things that made life easier. How much was cat fish in the late nineties, sardine was 50naira, Maggi was cheap, Maggi 2 minutes noodles was 5naira and it came with its own plate and spoon, how much was milo and bournvita, we practically had this regularly on the table. How much was cabin biscuit. Derica of rice was 35naira, beans was 20naira. My mum cooked confirm 1 week soup for 500naira, am talking of soup with 5 lives. We ate moimoi every Sunday morning with sardine virtually swimming inside. Grinding pepper then was 10 for petrol use and 5 naira for Nepa use. We paid 1000 monthly as Nepa bill in Ikoyi, our lister gen was bought 30k very powerful old soldier. If I tell you the price of this things I listed now, my brother, you will know things were cheap then and available to the poor. 1 Like |

nurey:You are conflating the quality of money with its quantity... The number of the denomination with its value. It's an honest mistake but a wrong one. How many people could afford #500 in those days too Remember people were spending kobo then. How many people had the luxury to secure government jobs as your parents were fortunate to In those days, a naira was gold BECAUSE of the value it possessed. It's a no-brainer that even 20 naira is finding it hard to be put in use in this country nowadays 1 Like |

This thread reminds me when my dad bought my mum Santana car in either 1990 or 91 and my mum was dancing, making my headache then worse. As little as I was and sick too, I angrily told said, "mum why are you dancing like this for this small car when your friend is driving a V Boot."

Re: Car Price List In Nigeria In 1975 (As Low As N500) by nurey(m): 9:38pm On Jan 29, 2017 |
SirWere: My father retired in 1990 or 1991 my mum retired in fact may be 1970s or so, she didn't read pass class 5 and still made government job she went to market and started selling and her friends in government job even envy her till date. life then was easy because corruption wasn't wide spread and the naira was strong because we had more farmers and industries then. In fact importation Was done by manufacturers themselves eg Sony, Panasonic, national the only imported appliances then was Kenwood. Cars were cheap in the nineties and Toyota wasn't da bomb then any way, we had 505 evolution as King, Benz V boot, Mazda, Datsun naira had respect not now. |
