I saw some of my dad's old documents and I was amazed at the condition we find ourselves comparing to the hope that people in the older days found themselves.My dad had just finished his M.sc in the USA and wanted to convert the Dollars he had to naira.The rate was N1.35 to $1.He only sent his c.v and application to the embassy.He was replied with a letter stating that application form where available at the embassy even urging him to inform others from his state. Nigeria has indeed been messed up.

Same set of old men are the ones making life even more unbearable for the younger generation, after having to witness a fulfilled and well-to-do government back in the days...


I am sure, your father is Buhari's mate or younger than Buhari. And Buhari is ruling us in this 21st century....

Good is a relative term.

The 1970's may have been good when viewed through the prism of today's economy but ask your dad if that exchange rate was easy to cough out then considering the minimum wage obtainable in that era.

Our children will envy "our today" that we so gleefully despise with ignomy.

I come in peace.
