This Volkswagen costs less than #4000 Naira back then in 1982. Today, 4000 Naira cannot even buy a tyre or Battery.

When the naira was ₦1 to $0.673.

Hmm. There was once a Nigeria. Thanks to greed every black man has.

Everything was ok as at then..... Sometimes when I look at my popsman,I just dey shake my head throway. Because considering how things were cheaper then,why dem no buy plots of land keep.... Instead they were running after bannies upandan

Land of Doom , Nigeria. My father bought his 2 plots of land in the 70s at 150 naira each, my uncle bought a new Datsun tear rubber I think in the 80s for 4,000 naira . My father retired in the year 1990 on 1,200 naira Pension. He will send me to the bank with a cheque for 100 sometimes and each time he will asked for his account balance. Bank staff will write it and put it in an envelope. I dare not open it ! Lagos to Ibadan bus was 20 - 50 naira then , (80s-90) now about 3,000 ! My father will give me 120 naira Return Lagos to Ibadan, I will enter Hausa trailer at toll gate for 10 naira and pocket the rest money !

Anybody remember 7up spell and win ? You spell the words with the letters under the crown you win . Star price then was Daewoo racer. You need to spell DAEWOO but the letter D everywhere wasn’t coming ! My brother used his school fees to buy 4 crates of 7 up, opened all but no letter D. My sister was to later grassed on him and told my dad !

4k at that time no dey easy to come by o

Then, they count from kobo and getting up to a thousand naira then was no joke.
I know people that built decent houses with 6 thousand naira. The houses are still standing.
Dont be confused with the numbers but the quality. It's just like Ghana Cedis, removing or adding few zeros doesn't change the value.

The equivalent of 4000 naira in 1982 to now is 1.4m
Those thinking that it is the same with the 4k they have in their pockets right now should keep that in mind.

The way things de appreciate for this country de alarming.
How time flies
Below are pictures of Lagos in the good old days

And some people father can't even afford it then. Manna grill na lie I dey talk? 30 million naira would look like 300 naira by 2080 almost everybody for for nairaland go done die by then. This life sha

Lol, oga o

Benin Republic CFA �� now more valuable than Nigeria Naira �� ... Naira is so useless this days.

Nigerian don't know what coming

Nigeria is now dumping grand for garbage cars at exorbitant price Whiteman dust bins

Right now in China you can get small brand new electric car for equivalent of #600,000 thousands naira
But Nigerians leaders and Nigerians keep fooling arounds

Standard of living is the lowest in Africa right now

Nigeria minimum wages is not up to 50$

Naira is so useless


Everything is getting worse in Nigeria day by day

How times fly.

Op is talking about 4k buying tire

It was still super expensive then. Truth is, things are never ever getting cheaper. You just have to increase your purchasing power by making more money than the general population.
