You are partially correct

But the dollar to naira exchange rate was in the 140s then ..not 165..I remember because a relation of mine dashed me 100$ as as at then for school pocket moni..and i remember travelling from Ife to Ibadan to exchange it for naira at Mokola. Even black market style, I exchanged at 143. And it was very easy for me to get it in, not like now that to do so back in naija, I gats fill forms, pay bribes, explain wetin I wan use $ do, before I can even get 50$.

2ndly, the price of a brand new 2022 Honda accord ranges from 26k$ to around 38k$, depending on the trim...the 2009 Accord up there looks basic, so concluding without verifiable dats that it was worth 33k$ isn't correct...

3rdly, even as at 2009, the middle class Nigerian could afford that brand new accord via savings, bank and cooperative financing, etc...Presently, the same middle class Nigerian will find it very hard to cough out 20m+ for a brand new car..To even buy clean tokunbo these days, e probably gats collect small loan or adashe.

While disagreeing, we should try to verify facts..We mustn't assume that some of us weren't born yet in 2009 or didn't yet have access to exchange rate info .

No matter how we try to twist things, many of us wish We can be taken back to the 2009 commodity pricing and exchange rate situation

Your argument is same with that of someone is arguing with an importer that the exchange rate in 2022 is 580 because in Feb 2022, his kinsman dashed him $100 and he changed it for 580 Naira.
Why don't you go through this 2010 thread and see people lamenting. It has Exchange rate details from previous years.

Most of the people who bought brand new cars even as then were corporate organisations who then gave it to their staff. That is a fact. Those organisations still buy brand new cars today. Now, they have wider choices to pick from. Hyundai, Kia and Co. Go to VI and see if companies buy used cars for their staff.

I'm not one for too much talk. Check the price of a new Honda in 2022, compare it to USD and also check the price of new Honda in 2009, converted to USD also.

I just have to resurrect this thread

5.4m for a brand new 2009 Accord in 2009

When things were a bit sane

Were things ever sane?
5.4M was a lot of money as at that time.
5.4M in 2009 was almost $33k at 165/$
$33K as at today is about 24M at 730/$
The question is: How much is a brand new Accord as at today?
About the same 24M

Honourable Minister is not doing well. Why not allow batch C to also spend at least two years after all previous batches spend two years (Batch A) and three and half years (Batch B). This is national injustice against jobless graduates.

If you don't leave your comfort zone, you won't achieve great things.

Npower is a stepping stone to greatness for you, don't sit on it. Move up.

That means my 1 month salary is some people's 5 years salary. Naija which way?

And your salary of 10 years is what some people make in 3 months.
This life no balance.

Private schools do the most. As a carpenter's apprentice, you'll probably be better paid than a private school teacher.

Who was NGF Chair under Goodluck Ebele Jonathan?

Rotimi Amaechi.

Thanks for the education. I owe you Jameson.

The President and the NGF Chairman can't come from the same region.

I pity Atiku and PDP. What Wike will do to them will be worse than what Modu Sheriff did to PDP that made Atiku run away to Dubai.

This season is an abject flop.

There's this woman that makes noodles in Lagos Island. It's Mama T Noodles spot. Really nice stuff.

Obidients I know have political knowledge. This your own obedience get as e be. No follow dey call yourself Obedient abeg.

The Finance Minister really needs to do better. She behaves like the Humanitarian Minister and Emefiele joined together.

Tell us how many times Atiku has won Adamawa.
Tell us how many LGAs he won last election.

So sad mehn. My condolences to the bereaved.

If only you know the level of corruption that is in the building space in Lagos.

Since Atiku has been contesting Presidency, he only won Adamawa in 2019. Even at that, Buhari won more local governments in Adamawa than Atiku.

Atiku is born to be a Presidential aspirant, not a President.

Thank you Jesus!

He is accusing APC. The coward can't even reply Wike directly, that one will tear him to shreds.

Look at the PDP Chairman sounding like Wike's employee.

Does it now mean that a fulani pastoralist who waltzed into Nigeria from Mali, Mauritania or anywhere else without valid travel documents and is grazing his cows in Kogi or Ondo will now be granted citizenship simply because he claims to be stateless?

The ones in the forests will now claim to be indigenes of those states where they are and then they will give them a local government there. From there, they will get State House of Assembly seats and will start dragging land with the landowners.

That is how the crisis in Jos North started. They want to replicate the nonsense on a national scale.

No wonder Buhari said "only God can police the borders" when he was asked about the porous borders of the North. Meanwhile, the Southern borders were fully locked. This was their plan. Flood the country with fulanis and grant them citizenship all across the country.

He is lucky to be alive.

I have never seen an elderly person who consistently says stupid things as much as this Joe. He is an example of the fact that not all elderly people are smart, fools also grow old too.
His mouth is more useful for packing gutters in Lagos than for talking.

You can never know the true character of a woman until you have married her.

If religion was regulated, will a convicted fraudster like you be legally allowed to receive financial donations from the public though your incorporated entity?

just giving this drowning man uncessary relevant

Wike chased Modu Sheriff out of PDP when he was being a persistent irritant. Where was Atiku and those deceiving him back then?

What Atiku should have done was to call Wike to one side and ask him to nominate a VP candidate, preferably a Senator from Rivers. That way, Wike won't be an issue but Wike will feel important. But Atiku being Atiku, sense is far from him and he usually loses political battles.

The way things are going, Atiku will lose even Delta where Okowa comes from. Atiku will also lose those states whose Governors share Wike's views. Ortom, Makinde and others not talking. Devils like Obaseki will do Atiku shege.

The client she was trying to get off the hook was the same person who testified against her in court.
