Back then 7000 na big money oo

That 7thousand then is equivalent to 7million now.

Finally (and shamefully) Nairaland has become a porn site

Guyman02:
Have you apologized to Asaba and Anioma people on behalf of your father for the grievous massacre he inflicted on them during the civil war, it was part of the reasons for removing history from our school curriculum.

U said civil WAR abi? Gerarahia

MM destroyed civil service in the name of fighting corruption.

He sacked people many of whom were trained abroad and began in colonial civil service. When civil servants were far more disciplined owing to training in colonial service. The ones that replaced them were far far worse. Our civil service never recovered from that mistake till today.

While his intention might have been good, he was too naive to throw the baby away with the bath water.

RIP to him.

The same thing they told us of Buhari and Obasanjo, but just look at them now... Rich and famous

Yes.... That's the bitter truth, don't argue with what you don't know, you can as well ask ur parents. They will tell you who Murital was, his way of life, don't come here and be displaying your ignorance

7000 den is equal to 1billion today

Do you know the value of 7000 naira then? It's worth billions of today's naira. Num skull

Someone should brief me how true this is...

Word has it that this same man was responsible for the killing of innocent people somewhere in the south who came out to welcome him.

Around 1979 (two years or so after his death)
This was CBN official foreign exchange rate
$1 =75k (kobo)
$2 = 1, 50k. (Naira)
$4 = 3 (Naira)

7000 then was a lot of money ..it could buy 4 good cars at once

Most of these young boys above me were not born at the time of Murtala Mohammed. Your mamas were still little and shy young girls at that time. Sic boys! Murtala was a good man and a beacon of hope for the country until his demise.

Richdad

He was a good man just like Buhari? be deceiving yourself,when we all know that all past military heads of state were greedy and never cared about Nigeria but their personal greed for more.

This was a tragic issue of genocide on civilian population.

IdioticNLmods:
7000 naira then was like 10 million..
Next!

More than. 504 was less than #1000.
Put the price of 7 504 Peugeot today.

N7,000 was a lot of money at that time!

Though, he is no saint, that dude is the best nig ever had!...

Unlike some current mr fake-integrity!

Wow

Na why we leave am for one naira coin na

With 7, 000 in the bank by then, pulse the current exchange, this amount to millions of naira.

AkeNathan:
Lies from pit of hell.

Which right thinking son would speak ill of his Dad post-humously.

Even me would decrease it to N1,000 if I were the son of a late head-of-state.

If he can't provide evidence, let him sulkk his deiick and stop romancing Buhari's anti-corruption campaign which itself, is a joke!

Hey it might not be a lie. N7,000 43 years ago is like 17million now or more.

Why Yoruba too dey suk Hausa man Dic? What did Murtala ever do for the Yoruba. In 1967, He was sulking because he wanted to lead the 1st division but couldnt so he neglected the western flank and failed to defend Yorubaland from Biafran Forces. Only Obasanjos threat to take over the 2nd division woke him up to take the fight to Ore. Left to him, he would have given up Yoruba land. This guy was also the main player in depriving Ogundipe of power so that a fellow Northerner (Gowon) could be president. He was also the guy who ostracised Middle belters in the Army which led to his coup. He massacred People in the midwest region as well.

He is Fulani so they love but Ibos hate him, middle belters hate him, Mid westerners hate him. Only Yoruba are on the knees, head bobbing. Olosho people.

TELL IT TO THE MARINES

Am telling you. Many young kids won't understand that. I remember when I will take two female friends out back in my young days and spend N5 like a king.
