You must be out of your rockers to have quoted me as I don't understand anywhere in my comment you read that I didn't understand the economics of 1978! Btw, I am a graduate of economics so don't school me about monetary economics or inflation.
I can't imagine y people can't communicate their point across without insults. Rubbish!

Although i still believe you are dull, just because you are a Nigerian, i made an error in quoting you. I apologize for that. I was responding to too many idiotic comments on the issue.

Nobody is a "dull". The term is called "dullard" smart as.s.
Believe me, I don't need nor appreciate your apology.
Calling other people idiots, doesn't make u any more smarter either.
But then again, y waste my time? Afterall, you aren't a "Nigerian".
Carry go.

He made a big killing in his first tenure when he embellezed billions of Naira took it outside Nigeria which hit exchange market hard. He, babangida and Abacha were d major cause of Naira fall. Still the zombies among us went ahead to vote him in power because he said he's a born again democrat.

Lol. I told u I didn't read that particular disjointed comment. Ur mumuism knows no bounds. Silence as affirmation when I flung it back at your face? So I guess all my other questions to u which u didn't answer are affirmations too right? Lol.
Oh and when u use the term : taking candy from a baby, u don't use a question mark at d end. It wasn't a question, stup.id.
U make idiotic comments and I answer you appropriately and u try to switch it back at me? Hahahah. Very apt for a 12yr old.

Lol. I agree about the question mark. It was a typo which is why when i re read it, i made the adjustment. See the difference between a smart mind and a dull one. We own up. I also like that you consider yourself second class to men. Good. You already know and acknowledge you are weak and a potential slave to whoever has the misfortune to ask the big question. That is if it is ever asked. I doubt it though.

Oh a Typo was it. I thought smart 12yr old don't make mistakes hun. What happened in your case? Second class to men? If you use the word "men", women should be submissive.
Now "boys" and "children"...which are words that qualify u so to speak, now that a far different matter.
And may the God I serve punish you abundantly for cursing my future. It will NEVER be well with you or your generation.

Let's get this straight. I made a comment that had nothing to do with u. U read it wrongly and proceeded to insult me. I spoke up and u apologised and still insulted me in the same comment. All that I can and will take. But do not curse me dude. Do not try it! There is banter and there is a curse. I will not accept the latter from you.
Got that?

Quote anywhere i said people don't make mistakes. Now you are just reaching. It is not about being a man. It is about being who and what i am. A fighter. I am trained to fight and destroy. Especially dull idiotic people. It's second nature. We don't take anything lying down. Especially from idiotic people. I already told you that i was sorry although i still considered you dull. Which i believe whole heartedly.

Offcourse the value of the naira has fallen but also then they didn't have much. For instance a persons salary might be N400/month then which might be equal to N120000 now which is 38 yrs after.

jmichlins:
as much as I will want to blame the government we as citizens share part of the blame. That was when BATA was the shoe everyone wears, clothes were imported from Aba and not Dubai, there were palm oil in the east, cocoa in the west, ground nuts in the north. Though government needs fiscal policies and huge investment into the power and transport sector to stimulate growth again.

You are wrong. By 1978,Nigeria was a massive importer of food. The naira was so strong that it was cheaper to import food than to grow it locally.

OBJ was even compelled to launch Operation Feed the Nation.

The agricultural sector nosedived fast with the onset of the oil boom
