The date on the stamp reads " 3 Oct. 82" ,while the pen inked on the passport is 3 /8/82 which is two months earlier . I,am not insinuating that there wasn't a time naira was valuable than the dollar but in this particular case something is amiss. |

michlins: I agree with you on some of the points raised. However,the truth is that the governments of that era failed to plan adequately for the future which is today. They were corrupt,self serving and incompetent. Nigeria has no excuse to be in this precarious and pitiable situation. 5 Likes |

OsuIgboIpob: You are taking it too personal. This insults you are putting on old people includes your parents, grand parents, uncles, aunties, etc. What you should be asking yourself is what legacy or good work will you leave behind for the next generation? Do you know how much the same amount will be in the next 10, 50 or even 100 years? How are you sure it will not be worse than today's rate? How will you feel if that generation insults this generation which you are part of? Change is the only constant thing. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Absolutely, We as a race are cursed, Most unproductive, Most ignorant people on this planet. yet you see on another thread, There are people arguing why in Dangote ,All the Sr. Engineers, Technical experts, Developers are from India. We dont have a Quad Redundant HOT Redundant DCS ACS Engineer in entire continent (Except maybe SA), and we are challenging Dangote. We dont have a single company able to design HP Boiler (All are importing from China, India, Korea) yet we are asking why like Indians , Nigerians are not making a Mega Petrochemical Complex for Dangote. Can you imagine such height of ignorance and dumbness? sometimes i just dont reply but read helplessly, in which direction we are going. teepain: 4 Likes 1 Share |

rationalhuman: You are so spot on! I don't believe that we are cursed though. I believe, rather, that we have very poor work ethics. Have you walked into a Nigerian office (bank, hospital) and the person that is supposed to attend to you is busy on the phone attending to unofficial matters for several minutes! At the end of the day, we now complain about the economy. The question we should be asking ourselves daily as individuals is "How much have I contributed to Nigeria's GDP today?" 3 Likes |

somehow: You are expanding the bone of contention here... The fact remains that those places i mentioned are part of lagos state and are still miles away from the lagos/ogun boundary... But jokes apart, you need to visit those places and see the speed of developments... For low income earners, Its very wise to buy at those locations and build gradually than waiting for huge funds to come. 1 Like |

SIRTee15:It is a shame. I expected you to talk about real economics given how you started about "purchasing power" but you ended up on baseless anecdotes just like others. "Few coins" means nothing without adjusting for inflation. How much was your father earning per month, you refused to state. How many months did he work before paying for his car, you refused to state. Was he from a death poor family without savings or his family were comfortable, you didn't state. Maybe it is not your fault, perhaps, he didn't tell you the whole story because economics can be complicated. Unfortunately, emotions can't fix economics. 1 Like |
