bizzibodi: Let’s look at it from another angle. Imagine, our refineries were working. Imagine, we have functioning production facilities..... like Leyland, Exile, TSG, the textile industries and all others and they are working at their full capacity. Imagine all these ABA made small scale producers are well funded and supported. Imagine, we have good rice milling plants all over Nigeria. Imagine our poultry and farming businesses have the full support of Government. Do you think they will have issues with their sales? Don’t you think the revenue generated from crude oil with be enough and also channeled into some infrastructural developments? What do you have to say about Bayelsa with less people and high allocations and yet nothing to show for it. Even if this is country is 25 million and yet, the likes of Tinubu, Aregbesola, Amaechi, Orji Kaly, BUBU, GEJ, Saraki, Dino and co are the leaders, they will still ruin the country. Did you read the Dept of State report sometimes back that concluded that Nigeria could not account for over 600 billion dollars since 1979? Let’s ask ourselves what those funds would have done to this economy. We have been deprived of good and selfless leaders since the creation of this country. 2 Likes |

ednut1: The resources are there and in abundance too, I believe the problem is our lack of production. Nigeria was the renowned Giant of the black continent and it wasn't an honour bestowed but deservingly merited. We were exporters of mainly agro-products. No doubts the duppy ones have succeeded in making sure we know little to nothing of this glorious history of ours (big shame), hence why we are grappling at finding an economic foothold but without success. The groundnut pyramids and towering stacks of cacao peas, cassava, palm oil, cashew nuts, yams and many other farm produces wasn't entirely consumed by the "small populace" we had then..... They were sold in exchange for funds, don't believe the bullocks they've taught us. Africa will unite and rise again!!! -Lloyd ***Population=Human Resources, Large figure ≈ More productive capacity |

Sweeetheart: Don't ask me. Go and get an FOI request, if you know what that means. But one thing is sure. The government subsidizes fuel, education, health, electricity for you as well as every member of your family who ever lived in Nigeria. Yet, the same entitled folk keeps asking what the government is doing for them.
How much was taken? I am sure you have no idea just like other emotional posters on this thread. You have no idea of the value of money and how it works. It is funny how some of you guys compare Nigeria with some other countries that have been amassing wealth for 300 years or more. Yet, the majority of the development you that tends to seduce you happens after the second world war. I will suggest that you find a good book on the history of global poverty to enlighten yourself. Many of you look at results from other countries and marvel at the magic behind it. It isn't magic, it is a product of money and planning. No matter how you slice or dice it, you cannot buy a hummer for the price of a bicycle. It will never add up. 1 Like 1 Share |

NaijadrivaCars: IMHO, this was a symptom of the coming troubles for Nigeria: a nation that suddenly got wealthy off an oil windfall, and acquired a taste for expensive high quality foreign goods pretty quickly. |

Gbabe2: The kind of society that you described here is the kind of society that I have lived most of my life, so I totally comprehend where you are coming from. I also make it a point to tell people that just getting out of a University doesn't guarantee you a job anywhere. In fact the in the US, your job experience is valued more than your educational background. I slightly disagree with you though on the school of thought that leadership is the biggest issue in Nigeria. Nigerians enjoy blaming their leaders as if they were imported from another planet to come and rule over them. Your leadership is a microcosm of your society. Your leadership doesn't just consist of the President, it consist of your councilors, LG chairmen, Governors, Legislatures, Ministers and others. What you find in leadership positions in the country is what is prevalent in the Nigerian society. You cannot have one type pf people in your society but expect your elected leadership to be vastly different from the people. They are one and the same. For the leadership to change, then mindset and thinking of the average Nigerian has to change. 3 Likes 1 Share |

9japride: How much was the minimum wage then? A fresh graduate was earning around N200 then. This means that he had to work for 50 months to buy that car without spending on anything else. with the present minimum wage of 30k, 50 months (about 4 years and 2 months) gives 1.5m. This una analysis sef |

You mistake the value of country currency to greatness. Kuwait dinner is 3 times $$ and that does not make Kuwait great either. Nigeria can decide to make Naira higher than $$ but the consequences will be out of this world. Dididrumz: 1 Like |

I agree with you but in recalling the past, know also that it wasn't easy then. How much was the minimum wage back then? A brand new Peugeot 504 salon was like N7500. 505 Peugeot when it was first released to the market was N21000 but it could only be afforded by companies and millionaires then. So don't think if the hands of time were to go back, we will find it easy.... Naaaah ajl: |
Re: Nigeria Passport In 1982 When $1164.84 Was N800 by bigtt76(f): 6:36pm On Jun 05, 2020 |
Very few people could afford to buy a brand new Peugeot car then, if your dad bought his after a few months of working, it must have been through a car loan workers were availed to then. Things were not all that cheap because many people struggled but I agree with you the coins were in use then. Newspapers were 15kobo, a bottle of coke was less than 30kobo I could go on and on but it wasn't easy for people then. SIRTee15: |

I'm not saying the past leaders did not fail us, they did woefully. Starting with Gowon. He could've done much more but was confused what to do with the money By the time they realized, it was all too late. Sweeetheart: |
