It was a new model as at then compare to now that it's an already old model which shouldn't be in production anymore.
But you sef check the price differences na.
Same model of a 2015 ac shouldn't be at that price in a saner clime.
It's like a 2015 brand new car in 2015, of cause not everyone can afford it then. But in 2024 still not affordable due to ridiculous price ? You sef reason am na

You have changed goal post the bone of contention is not minimum wage but the price difference.
No dey argue off-point.
Focus should be in the topic which is price difference.
Nobody is saying things are not expensive but conparing the price of a 2014 AC to a 2024 AC is stupid

Exousiang01:
Even outside the Country its the same.
You do not expect a 2014 old model AC to be at the same price with a 2024 improved AC.
Do you expect a 2014 corolla to be at the same price with a 2024 corolla?

What's this one saying? To buy a brand new Samsung S6 in 2015 you need $750

To buy a brand new Samsung S24 in 2024, you need $799

Where is the increase in price?? Can't you see it's almost same price?

Now convert it to naira in 2015 vs naira in 2024.

A brand new Corolla 2014 when it was launched was about $17,000

A brand new Corolla 2024 is $23,000. Just $6,000 increase.

Let me help you with this one: It means that in 2014, I would get the latest Corolla for about #4mil

In 2024, I would need not less than #34mil to get the latest Corolla.

A whooping difference of #30mil!!!!

Don't you see it? Our economy is in limbo!

And you were saying what?

AC is ac, it's not a new phone that gets updated with new software that hardware cannot keep up with.

Things that don't upgrade don't really change in price much. Things like cars, ac etc.
The new version of the product will only be more expensive.

People who couldn't afford AC in 2015 wouldn't be able to afford it now if their source of income remains the same.

You will only be able to afford used.

Not everyone could afford a car when it was sold for 400 naira in the 70s.

Elusive001:




Being clever by half.

How much was the minimum wage in 2015? How long will it take a person on minimum wage to save and buy an A/C in 2015? How much is minimum wage now? How long will it take a person on the current minimum wage to save and buy same a/c now?

When we say una no get brain, eh be like say na curse.

Xxxylxxxx:

Check the price in other countries, compare it too! Nowhere in the world the price of things are the same when you compare the price it was in 2015 and now. Nigeria is not bad ok!

Mehn! Your case go far! You don't realise I was using the flagship phones from Samsung from the respective years as an example? Should I say poverty? Alright in full: Samsung Galaxy S24 Android Phone. Hope you get now?

And your Corolla car example is right there staring at you, at least you'd recognise that. Now defend it. SMH.

Even eggs is not for poor people in Nigeria cos na mentality

Na rich people dey eat bread and eggs at home in Nigeria. Chai, see mentality oo


Our mentality about food in Nigeria is just anything solid like Eba, Akpu, bread and beans, beans and garri

HeliumStar:


Min. wage in 2015 was 18,000, now it's 30,000. A 60% increase.

The AC flew from #55k to #400k , have you guys lost the ability to perceive the huge difference in magnitude?!? That's a whooping 727% increase!!!! From my experience, it'll take a Level 15 state teacher at least his full 3.5 months salary to buy an AC of #400k in 2024.

Whereas it will take about half of the same worker's salary with the 18,000 mimimun wage to buy a #55k AC in 2015!

So where is the sense you were trying to make?

michlins:
even cassava is now too expensive for the poor man.

Before you can drink garri now, you need nothing less than 500

Garri is ₦200

Sugar...150

Groundnuts.....200.

Add a sachet of water.


Just say Nigeria is no longer for the poor. But thank God that you're also poor

This is one of the main reasons why people choose to store their wealth in Dollars and other stable currencies.Inflation and naira are just inseparable.You buy something #500 today , tomorrow price jumps to #900 and everyone is acting like it's normal 🙄.
