Yes, tried it...they have some nice stuff but didn't enjoy them as much as Amazon Prime Videos.

JapaNinja:
What about Showmax?

Have you tried it?

AutosRe: NÀÌJÁ THROWBACK! Honda Civic Purchase Receipt In 1976 by DaleMcWayne: 7:42pm On Mar 12, 2023
This is a simple and straightforward way of comparing the cost of living in 1976 vs today.

Good one!

NaijaphiliaBlog:
Your proposal is insightful. Let's check it out:

(A). PURCHASING POWER IN 1976 VS COST OF 1976 HONDA CIVIC
In 1976, Nigeria's nominal minimum wage was ₦60 per month i.e. ₦720 per annum.

In 1976, the cost of a brand-new Honda Civic was ₦3,205

This was equivalent to 53.5 months' salary (or four and a half years' salary).


(B). PURCHASING POWER IN 2023 VS COST OF 2023 HONDA CIVIC
In 2023, Nigeria's minimum wage is ₦30,000 per month i.e. ₦360,000 per annum.

In 2023, the cost of a brand-new Honda Civic is ₦19.5m (approx).

This is equivalent to 650 months' salary (54 years' salary).

(C). INFERENCE
By this purely linear logic (not taking any other germane factors into account), the base-salaried Nigerian worker in 2023 is more than 12-fold worse off than his 1976 counterpart!

EducationRe: NAIJA THROWBACK! University Of Ibadan Meal Ticket In 1972 by DaleMcWayne: 11:25pm On Jan 25, 2023
BluntTheApostle:
The cost of food on that meal ticket was subsidized cost for students by the University of Ibadan. You could only get a full plate of food for that amount at the school canteen. If you went outside the University of Ibadan in 1972, you would get a full plate of food for more than that amount.
This is correct.

The meal tickets were not free, but the 25 kobo price per meal was a subsidized cost. In 1972, a similar plate
of food in a restaurant outside the University would have cost more than that.

TravelRe: 5,000 Km Road Linking 6 African Countries From Algiers To Lagos Is Nearly Ready by DaleMcWayne: 11:19pm On Nov 23, 2022
Hello everybody!

I've just joined Nairaland, after reading silently as a guest for a while.

This particular thread deals with a very important issue: developing trans-african infrastructure.

The future prosperity of African countries will surely depend to a large extent on deeper intra-continental trade.

Looking forward to seeing more of such infrastructure.
