spent all apart from the shillings. I use them for transport.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS...WHEN THE NAIRA WAS REAL...

Keneking: I am coming to snap some Biafra's notes for upload so that we can compare and contrast
I am sure if Biafra Republic had succeeded, two things would have happened by now:
1. The local currency would be as strong as GBP. It would be used for international trading.
2. There would have been another sub-currency that would be trading with the Nigerian Naira.

Our CBB ( central bank of Biafra) would have been a model for Africa. Biafra Republic was indeed great. We would have formed strong allies like French, USA and Britain. We would be attending UN General Assembly and sending troops to fight Boko Haram, ISIS and AlQaeda
We shall be planning to annex Edo State into the Republic. Kogi would have since been ceded as well. Our institutions would be world-class. Those in the government would be first class no clueless characters.

The Biafran Currency would have the sign of crucifix affixed on it by now. What this mean is that no corruption, no unethical practices and no shady dealings with the currency. Oh I miss the vision of that republic

F.Y.M...vision kor prophesy ni...odte

omenka: Age restricted thread at last!

Used to pocket church offering money then (50kobo) and use it to buy "Donkuwa" or "Alewa", or ice cream (milk mixed with sugar and water packaged in white polythene bags) after service. Then you see housa girls line up with their stuffs for sale in front of the church's gate, and yep, they enjoyed alota patronage!!

#nostalgic..

Was it in Kano state?

If you spent 1kobo, 10kobo, 25kobo coins. And you spent 50kobo and 1naira notes and you still have hair on your head, them it must be a wig

Gone are the days and we were give 50kobo to primary school and we used to buy ekanna gowon and eyi alagba.... ..lmao

Amazing how time flies and inlflation adjusts. I remember a classmate of mine was interrogated by the class teacher for being in possession of a five naira note! At a time when rich kids. brandished one naira notes, having five naira notes as primary school kid was unthinkable. unless u wanted to pay ur PTA levy to the bursa urself!

This old currencies are better than all what government are doing now. If u have 1 naira in 1980s u will b happy compare to #1000. Naira always drop ooo may God help us in nigeria of today(Amen)

I remember that Nasco buscuit then was N1.00. I remember that my mum do give me N5.00 everyday to skol n wit it I wil buy gogo,chocomilo,lolly n so on.....

I dunno what you said, buh u started wiv 'gini'! It looks like you were cautioning the bigotic fool in a language he'll understand. If that's the case, thank you sir/ma! People living in the primeval age need shock therapy to awaken them to the 21st century!

bullyman36:
No dy lielie moni wey u just go remove from ur papa wallet....no go return am ooo, make the man catch u

I will return it immediately.

These pics reminds me of the good old days of naira and kobo.. I still recall when I took one naira to school and by the time I spent ten kobo, I was already filled, the remaining change became a burden because coins full every where in my adidas bag. Those bag we carried as backpacks back in the days.. Had robes which you could used as both the zip and handle.. Fifty kobo note was a regular especially during the celebrations.. I miss those days..

lol @ the 50kobo
