Sonnobax15:Lol... Ur very funny, u rily tink things were cheap those days because ur comparing the then economy wit d present one. Read the post again, a graduate was being paid 600 nd he wanted to buy a car of 12k, he had to borrow money to do so. If ur being paid 600 as a graduate nd a land is about 5k, do u think it will be easy buying d land considering u have ur rent, wife, children nd other family bills to pay from the 600 (dats if ur even earning up to dat) |

But I feel those days were the remnant of the good deeds of our colonial masters once the black man took control things went south. |

sexxxyprince:Very disgraceful post. Even when one of the replies in the original post gave an information that should have helped any person with commonsense.But today you see graduates disgracing their certificates by posting like illiterates. A man there said in same time period,he was earning ₦100 as a junior staff.Without spending his salary it would have taken him about 3 years,6months to buy a beetle car then. A junior goverment staff let's assume earns about 80k today. A basic new car costs about ₦4million today.Takes same years to buy equivalent same car. So it's still same,yet assumed graduates are just looking at the face value of ₦4000 without looking at the equivalent income,wages and value of goods/services over the years. For those that do this kind of stupid comparison,I always ask,$4000 in America in 1982,is it same as $4000 today?Absolutely not! 4 Likes 1 Share |

naijaguy123456:Daewoo racer was about 120k tear rubber. Toyota celica brand new (mint) I was sent to westex motors along isolo expressway to buy with a cheque was 350k that was 1993-4. Nigeria already has started spoiling. Fews years later ie 1996 top of the range E class Mercedes benz (brand new) coup I saw and screened how expensive it was 1.8m! Now you hear of same benz costing 60-70m and above. This regime nko, few years ago ie 2015 I went to elizade motors to price Toyota hummer bus, it was 5.5m for the high roof one. The low roof was 4.7m. That same bus is close to 30m just within 5 years. Honda civic, corolla etc were about 3-5m just 5 years ago, now without about 18m, no near there. Do you know a hyundai sonata as at last month is now 18.5m, Creta 13.5m (probably increased now). Seems as if very soon cars will be 100m upwards for new. ( money to take build house). The amazing thing is no one will give you financing because salaries have not increased commensurate with inflation. 4 Likes |

naijaguy123456:Nigeria started being bad immediately somebody like you and your brother were born. Your dad gave you N120 for transportation you would enter housa trailer for N10 and pocket the balance and your brother used his school fees to buy 4 crates of 7up.

When I started primary school in 1983,every kid will put 1kobo(the big brown coin)in that Fuji plastic lunch box,that was our lunch money then until Babangida came I and messed everything up. Gradually 1kobo became 10kobo and then to 1naira,still in primary school o.Until I finished secondary school,my feeding allowance from my dad was 10 naira I think for the whole week(2naira per day) Walahi May Allah Punish all Nigerian looters. 1 Like |

The document doesnt add up. In 1982, Volkswagen didn't cost that much. Brand new Peugeot 504 cost around N3,500.00 at the time. |
