...In the 80's 17,430 was good money...

My Dad got His First Car in 84' for #5000.
Brand New Peugeot 504.


Do have any Economist in the house who can help to check the Value of that Figure based on Rebasing..

Find out the Fares New York to Lagos in the 80s and now.
Let us compare the relative difference with Lagos to New York in the 80s and now.
This analysis is for CBN, Ministry of Finance and Devaluation Experts and Value Statisticians to see the depreciation in the values of Lagos and New York.

the 80s were the best years so far in Nigeria.


Then the White man had to queue just to visit Nigeria.


Then the White man worked for the Nigerian government as university lecturers.


Then our currency, the Naira had more value than what it is today.


Then we all viewed ourselves as brothers and sisters and understood the real meaning of, 'United we stand, divided we fall.... '


Then it made a whole lot of sense to live and invest in Nigeria.


Will our unborn children witness the good life some of us witnessed during the 80s?

For people who want to get to NY like me here's what we'll do:

* time travel back
* with 20K in our pocket
* quickly go to the airtport
* and voom, oit's easier because VISA wasn't hard then.
