This is a lie Nigeria doesn't use pounds in 1976, Naira came into use on January 1, 1973


May be the receipt is for a hotel in another country definitely not Nigeria

Don't mind them. False informations. Where in Lagos? Because Ikeja Ikoyi Badia and Ijora are not the same in rent till date.

Again, what is the purchasing power of 2pounds early 70s before the introduction of naira?

Why did we selfishly allow the white men to go? Looks at south-africa today cry cry cry Now no real white men in Nigeria. Just Lebanese, Indians.

You think the old printed receipt were sent to the shredder because Naira came into being?

Many Germans still write Dutch mark when referring to Euro......almost 20 yrs after. Older Italians are yet to move away from Lira.

I doubt this receipt. Nigeria was not spending pounds in 1976. We changed to Naira on first of January 1973 and even the writing on the receipt looks too fresh to have been written in 1976.

Doubting Thomas


About the pounds issue, we were still calling Nigerian naira pounds in the nineties. We call it "poun marun" which is ten naira even though it's naira

About the neatness of the receipt

I have the birth certificate of my sister who was born in 1973 and if you see it you will think it was written two years ago

Some people don't sit down and analyse issues before jumping into conclusions

Even into the nineties, people were still stuck on the pounds even though Naira is now our currency

Go to Ghana, most of them still don't know the new worth of their currency they are still stuck on the old worth


For example

1000 Ghana cedis is around #45-50000

But they will tell you the old conversion rate which could be 1million Ghana Cedis to #45000

It's true that some villagers could still say "poun marun" even till date but no one would issue receipt for a currency not received. In 1976, Nigeria was spending Naira and not Pounds.

On doubting Thomas, a student of forensics even for a day would tell you that the age of that paper is more than the handwriting on it. I suspect that the writer saw the blank receipt and decided to write on it, but forgot that in 1976 Nigeria was already spending Naira.

Take a look at your sister's birth certificate, you'll observe that the paper is as fresh as the handwriting on it.

Nigeria was using Naira in 1976. We dropped pounds in 1972? Maybe that was 2 (two) Naira, cos my dad's property in Warri earned him 100 (one hundred) Naira per room in 1990.
