I can't believe this.Travelling from Lagos to New York once cost 17k.This was back in the days when things were still good in Nigeria and our leaders were a little bit less or not corrupt.Compare it with the amount you have to pay now if you want to travel from Lagos to New York.

What's the connection between corruption and flight ticket? Corruption is everywhere even here in the US! Everyone pays the exact same amount in their home country's currency. It's not like we pay more than other nationalities when we travel.. Tackle the naira and everything will take shape! 20 Likes |

17k was a lot of cash.. Sure a dollar was around 17-20 naira, if u use 17 naira u will find out nothing much has changed on the fare cous u will notice it's an average fair is 900-1000 dollar a flight. Fast forward today, an average fare is still around $900-1000 but when converted to naira, u will 10 Likes |
