On point.

You don't expect a brand new car at that price, even in dollars.

The worth remains same, just a different year.

How much is the value of that money today ??

How much your father's salary in 1978.
Re: ₦2,290 Car Sold In Nigeria In 1974 (Throwback Photo) by Nobody:
Let's assume 2,290 Naira is equivalent to Dollar at the time. If so, that means 2,290 Naira equals $2,290.

Using today's exchange rate of 594/$, that means 2290 * 594 = 1,360,260. Approximately 1.4 million Naira of today. With 1.3, you can buy a car today — even if it's tokunbo.

So, it's wise to make your money in Dollar and convert to Naira. With this, you won't feel the difference that much.

Unbridled corruption, greed and overpopulation is what turned Nigeria to what she is today. Add to that the complacency of its citizens, bad governance along with constant tribalism and religious intolerance. Nigeria will never go back to what it was in 1974.

Same price but not same value. What matters is value not price. It's a fact that any body who didn't get up to a 50% income rise since last year actually became poorer.
