The fact Volkswagen was NGN 300 at some point, does it mean everyone can afford it at that time

I agree, Nira has depreciated over time...it's a sad one...but brining this kind of analogy no cut am.

When NGN 20 M was $ 5 M ...how many people have these money in their account back then..both in Nigeria and USA

The message being passed is the way the rate has gone from 4 to 1580 naira to a dollar today.

Believeintruth:


if my history serves me correct Zenith Bank was not started by Jim Ovia, it was known as Zenith Merchant Bank in the early 90s. Jim came back from the states and worked in defunct IMB in Victoria Island and then was able to take over Zenith Merchant Bank and renamed it Zenith Bank.

Don't forget to mention he Is an IBB boy. IBB made most of these billionaires today.

Who is the first civilian president of Nigeria?
Who planned the first military coup in Nigeria?
Who was the first military head of state of Nigeria ?
The Igbos were the one that derailed us that's why the north and west made them minority by carving out South South region from the Igbo clan.
The Igbos can't be National rulers in Nigeria anymore ...all the do is spoil structures

Shows u know nothing about history and how the parliamentary system worked ...

1. Tafewa Balewa was the prime minister and the president position was just ceremonial ...the decisions were made by the PM and not president...president was like VP now ...

2. The coup was by the South in its entirety... ijaw man , Igbo man , calabar man and yoruba man were all involved , so stop acting foolish...

3. Then if the Igbos will never rule, then we must leave this useless country...but be rest assured that the drug lord in aso rock will be the last time a yoruba man will ever rule and then u guys will return to minority ,just like u were b4...the Ijaw people will replace u people as number 3
