This was sent to my page and I believe it should make the FRONTPAGE for the purpose of history and education.

OK

Oga, your calculations got me thinking I wasted my time in school. How can fuel go from 6k to N8.45k and you say it is 40.8% increase, then from N8.45k to 9k and you say there was a 0.59% increase?
Mbok, my maths teacher should have chased me out of his class make e be say na only biology I study.

You also got me thinking!
How I wish you can relate with the years in question, you wouldn't have added naira symbol to the already and perfectly compiled information. 6k is same as 6. 00k(no attempt to think that, that 6 ever means #6. It's SIX. ZERO - ZERO KOBO). same goes for 8.45k to 9k (EIGHT POINT FOUR - FIVE KOBO TO NINE KOBO) .

This is incomprehensible to those who cannot imagine the blessed era being refer to here or who are just too young to think it ever existed.

I believe you are there now.
