Yeah, Generally solid article, fairly intellectual and all, but you (or the writer) messed it up when you got to here..

Tekashi89:
Then a person born in 1985 thinks that their grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, not knowing that they have survived several wars and catastrophes.

Currently, after having gone through a pandemic....

. Sensible, educated -young - people don't think or talk like that.

AbuTwins:
Alright make i use 1600 then!

NO. Not that.
Adjust the USD for inflation over the years too.
That's an over 40 year period... That's basic,

BenuePolitician:
What! Nonsense shipping board should have over 300% the salary of a common poor man! Whatnonsense.

Pls explain and expand more for some of us to understand better...
I don't get it

casualobserver:
Stop digging a hole for yourself and train your mind to think properly.

I said corresponding value, NIGERIAN pounds or whatever was spent, would it have been possible it have a ₦1500 car? Yes absolutely.
No, I did not set out to argue with you at all. Just checking some things with you, as is done in a discussion site.

You shared valuable data on your original comment.
And I don't align with the original posts, the OP and all. We all know and its basic common sense that 1500 naira was a lot of money in 1977 and even in 1984.

Huh??

casualobserver:
Like I said the problem with many of you is that you do not know your history. There was no Naira in the 50s or 60s. Also 504 did not exist till 1968.

Okay, yes, there wasn't.
But corresponding value that is...
Also in your pic, one Toyota car there was 2000 something Naira... So it was fairly possible.

And lastly, I'm not part of the "many of You". I'm an educated millennial, immersed and grew up in history.

Thedon12:
That was 1977, because my father bought his 504 4000 naira In 1983.

Brand new?

lapintoz:
I was wondering o.....

My papa bought a brand new 504 with AC for N20,000 in 1984 and a beetle for N6,000 for my brother later in the year.

20k in 1984?

casualobserver:
Never in the history of Nigeria has a brand new 504 cost N1,500.

Okay...
So it probably did in the 60s... Or 50s
So you won't say "never in the history of Nigeria" has a car cost that...

RevenuesBoost:
Nigeria's money crumbled a long time ago.

My Dad said he bought his first fridge for 600 Naira.

He could very well feed with 20 Naira in a month.

His salary was 250 Naira when he got married to my Mum and they were doing very fine.

What year exactly was this please?
and what was his Job that fetched him that money

AbuTwins:
The receipt is false! I can see May 1977 there!
................................................................................................
Following the 1984 narrative:
That N1,080 is just over N2 Million now!

In 1984, N0.77 = $1 (If i'm not wrong o )

So N1,080 = $1402.60

Naira was balling then!

$1402.60 now = N2,103, 896.10k @ N1500 per $
.................................................................................................
Following the 1977 narrative written on the receipt:
That N1,080 is just about N2.5 Million now!

In 1977, N0.65 = $1 (If i'm not wrong o )

So N1,080 = $1661.54

Naira was really balling then!

$1661.54 now = N2, 492, 307.69k @ N1500 per $

Calculation is still wrong... Adjust the USD too

KingMack:
My dad got Volvo a then for 5k!

As at then?
As at when exactly? What year exactly?

How are people building?
The lowest cheapest Land in manageable, below average areas is 1M, 1.2, upwards...
I ask again, how are people managing to build houses?

A very poor man can barely build... That's what it means

Which one of them is Makinde's Deputy?

Gptech:
You should state your budget also. Note that very fast charging and budget devices are two parallels for now.

Okay. If It is midrange, that's okay.
Budget is 400k to 500k. And long lasting battery is more important than super fast charging pls, no matter how bad, 33w and 67w upwards is still very okay.
(12-512GB )

GreaterFuture:
Which of the newer midrange or budget Xiaomi phones right now is the best in battery?
The ones with a 12-512GB Variant... Best of the best in battery, as well as very high fast charging

Plus I need experienced users input

Calitoscassius:
I wonder, how many people had 1000 that year? I am sure a brand new benz woulda been sold at 40 naira at the time, but how many people could afford it at the time?

about 12.4M today...
In those terms was what 1000 naira was in that year.

The salary of the president was 30k a year, vice President ₦24K

How easy was 500 naira and 1000 naira in 1979?
What is the true corresponding value today?

This is a very old pattern to talking, even very illiterate people can't be carried by this anymore... Extremely irritating man.

Odẹ!

noobody:
But it's your money ooo

How much...

noobody:
If you stay on GSMArena, you won't buy any phone!

The phone is amazing, no issues.

But it's your money ooo

GSMArena3 official review gan gan...
That's asides, not an issue too much. (the super fast charging is already a very huge plus)

But are you sure that's the cheapest I can see with amazing battery? Nothing cheaper

noobody:
Your budget?

Perfect fit for 12/512gb is the Redmi note 13 pro 5G version.

Just got of the GSMArena review of this exact device... It specifically highlights battery as the major downside. one of its very few major downsides

You are part of the Problem 15 years ago, you are part of the problem today.
Why hasn't these mind and thinking changed?? Why?!

Obj stopped it, because corrupted officers were selling the tickets request to the public and giving it to family members

Ok. So it got to Abacha's time and went past it...
