LMAyedun: Have you even spent any of these?What did you buy?

This is how Igboman 419 or scam end up on a currency..

You can see from the currency, He die in 1946... before the first election in western Africa.. so azikiwe claiming they both run for election and he was opposition leader, is 419 or scam

Re: Nigeria Former Currencies (photos) by musiwa95: 6:14pm On Sep 27, 2014

Aww u also reminded me of cheleramms! pintos ice cream still has a special place in my mouth! Lol. Am glad u still keep that childhood taste in your handbag.. There were so much goodies back then.. And am happy that I partook in it..the last one I ate was epa! That one will stay forever.. One memory I will never forget was an indian circus group that came to perform some majical tricks and stunts @ unilag main auditorium around 95. It was so much fun. But by the time they brought out a big snake from a picture. See as people pick race! u trust nigerians

Thank God for history. And also than nairaland for this medium of education. I finally thank the masses for refusing the federal govt. to bring up the N5000 note, they plan it, but God did not allow them.
