That’s the highlight of this whole write up

omonnakoda:


Actually in 1976 10 million was $16 million at the official rate

ojoj:
It is a shame that some people said this govt goofed by pardoning Chief Anthony Enahoro. You could see here that it was the indictment from the panel set up by the Muritala govt. But because most people were only aware of the first indictment which Yakubu Gowon pardoned him. We should not always jump to conclusion until we explore all available channels possible. Thank you Cable news for bringing this up.

Really ?. I’m guessing this was when the whites just left Nigeria they made it such.As time when by our leaders drained Nigeria

Haba una no learn history at all
So you might not know we used to drive on the left hand side
Our currency at independence was the Nigerian pound until 1973
It was changed to the Naira which was equal to the British Pound
1:1
The currency was stable till Buhari took over on 31 December 1983

Nigerians are crying for food just 2 weeks of peacefully staying at home forgetting that the Igbos faced starvation for 3 straight years while the Biafran war lasted?

And we must remember that for this last two weeks they are crying, nobody is bombing their markets, churches, schools, hospitals and refugee camps unlike what happened to the Igbos?

And no one is laying any land siege, sea or air blockade on Nigerians, nobody is shooting at both moving and unmoving targets this past two weeks and yet they are crying?

If you are finding what happened in the past two weeks difficult, remember to visit any Igbos born before 1970 and congratulate them because they are the real heroes of our time. They endured for 3 years and survived it all to thrive in the same space.

God bless the Igbos.

Actually, that conversion is likely incorrect...
Because 1 Naira was worth almost 2 dollars in the 1970s.

Very big thief. He should come and see how the zoo he supported is faring today.

It's wrong and foolish to embark on the ethnic cleansing of a people because of the sins of a few.
It's utterly foolish for a few to murder very important members of the other tribes that they don't belong to, knowing that this is Africa.
So, don't intimidate anyone here with "remember".
Hope you remember what led to the hunger.

Does it make sense to you to kill or to blame a tribe for the actions of four ibo officers and a Yoruba officer? And mind you these boys killed an ibo officer in that coup Col Arthur Unegbe but for years that fact has been hidden just to spin it as an ibo coup. Other coups that have taken place no one has ever blamed an ethnic group but rather the organizers why the double standards for Jan 66 coupists?

Read Emeka, by Frederick Forsyth, Nzeogwu by Obasanjo and Why we struck by Wale Ademoyega. They all mentioned that.
This books were written probably before I was given birth to, and na senior man I be.
Unegbe was shot when he refused to hand over the key to the armoury. It wasn't in the plan.
It's never been a secret.

Another lie that has always persisted during the years. Arthur Unegbe was the Quartermaster general of the Army and how on earth would he have keys to the armoury? Lt Col Arthur Unegbe was killed because of his closeness to Maimalari and the boys wanted to take out any senior army officer who would jeopardize the coup. Hence they took out Lt Col Arthur Unegbe
