3bags of cement for #264 as at 1991 (#88 per Bag)

1bag of Cement Now #4,000 to #4,500 as at Today

I hope Nigeria will be Great Again

Ok

Making 4k is much easier now than making 88 naira then , cos I have grown in 91

3 bags of cement is now roughly N15,000...no thanks to Buhari and Osinbajo and their akube economic policies.

Na so

There was a time naija currency was higher than a dollar
And equal to pounds

But since Angel Gabriel throw devil come earth (Nigeria)everything change

Na so na.
The last set of people who still enjoyed Nija small are those born in the early 1980s
If you didn't use coins,you didn't enjoy Nija at all.
I remember when I could eat with #5�
Amongst everything I deemed possible that could happen to Nija I never envisaged a time when we would buy garri #500 per derica
My Heavenly father creator of man and spirit how did it get this bad

Buhari really dealt with us no be small

That is about 31yrs ago, right?
Keep your own today and let your children/grand-children also comment on it in the next 30 years, I am sure that your children/grand children will then claim that you enjoyed during your own time too

Ọ mọ wokun!

Would have been beautiful if we had remained like this

It will be N10,500 per bag under opolo eye criminal

Say No to Tinubu. Yes to Peter Obi

Buhari really killed Nigeria that's why Tinubu is coming to bury her kpatakpata

Our parents enjoyed a good life and that was one of the reason a lot them had the opportunity to build one or two houses

I remember when my dad was building our apartment in 2002, we bought cement for 1600, despite the fact that he was not earning enough, he still saved the money that enable him to build an apartment for himself.

Things have change in our own tenure, all we have left is increasing of price every single day,........ you will buy something today, the next day when you get to market, the price is rise

For your do build a 3bedroom apartment now, you will need up to 50bags of cement 50x4200 is almost 210,000 thousand naira

if you ever ask me if Nigeria will go back to those days of cement of 80naira

My Answer is HELL NO, Probably in my dream, even this days people don't dream about Nigeria going back to those days, they dream about the next days

WOW.

Industries, Markets, Warehouses and Factories sustain a nation.
Just imagine RCCG turning all these their mushroom worship centers across Nigeria into mini factories. To become productive.
Anyway, I won't blame them too. Wia is power?
Again, most Nigerians cherish what they are being given, more than what I put up there.
It's easier for a FACTORY to shut down in Nigeria than a Church or Mosque.

The Americas, Europe never joke with such.
In Fact, during COVID, small shops got up to $5000 dollars each as a boaster. Bigger shops got meaty incentives.

Lol, the wickedness in Nigerian rulers ehn, the people who enjoyed this good economy are those ruling us now, but they can't give us just a taste of what they enjoyed..


Is only Nigeria someone(Atiku and Tinubu) will offer a solution (buhari and osinbanjo) to a problem, and then turnaround after 8 years to say they are the real solution to the problem..

No hope for ordinary Nigerians

How much was basic salary? I want to check something.

Edith: So minimum wage was 3,000 naira per month and that’s 3% of minimum wage.
Today’s minimum wage is 30,000 and a bag of cement is 4,000 and that’s 13% of minimum wage.
So we can say that cement was 4 times cheaper and affordable in 1991 than it is today.

To match 1991’s naira purchasing power, cement have to sell below 1,000 naira a bag. Hmmm.

It's just 1991.... Like yesterday....

They have crippled the economy



I'll vote Tinubu.....

















If he can put thread inside needle

MonkeyMods:
It will be 10,500k under opolo eye criminal

Say No to Tinubu. Yes to Peter Obi

Atiku is Tinubu's headache not the inconsequential effeminate lying clown called Peter Obi

Just see the damage that APC/PDP has done to Nigeria in the past 23 years!

If you want to fix things, vote out PDP/APC in 2023

Vote for a man who believes that Naira should be saved.

Vote for Peter Obi.

Tinibu will bring it down to 1k per bag

88 naira was huge money then. That's like almost a100 naira which is equivalent to today's 10k if not more.

That's cold zobo

1989 was when the price really went up, I remembered we started building one of our houses with #4.50k per bag in February that year, then it moved to #20 and then #38 or #40. In May of 1989 it was #38. The price went up really high that year

By 1991 it was already #80
