Those Old Naira Notes represent Nigeria when we are still normal and doing good compared to what we faced today

In 1996 you dare not carry 50 naira as a student in secondary School,in 1988,I carried 5 naira to school and the teacher asked me who gave it to me,she was frowning her face.

I can't imagine the 20 naira I was using to feed everyday in secondary School is the same currency we are using to buy one pure water satchel.


You’re so right. 1988 I was buying plate of mama put jollof rice for 30 kobo with no meat. I think with meat was 50kobo, never ate with meat then. 1 naira used to feed 3 of us during break. I was in primary school then so yes, seeing a child with 5naira would definitely raise eyebrows.

A school mate shared the school fees receipt he paid in 1995 and it was 2,200 naira. Complete 3rd term fees for a boarding missionary school! My heart sunk. That won’t even pay transport to go to school today.

in 98/99 we didn't pay school fees in primary school, what we were paying was 3 naira for handwork.
And you still get to see many kids sent home by their teachers, many parents were still unable to pay that 3 naira.
Mumsy too try abeg, she still singlehandedly sent two of us to the best private school in the town then.

The good old Herbert Macaulay note. I won't forget when I found 3 of those notes in one of my dad's old cloths he doesn't wear again. It was as if I hit the jackpot that day. I spent that 3naira for days and days on end. It was like a ten year old child finding free 3thoisand naira today. To think the value of that money then is worth thousands today I pitiful. Are we making progress or retrograding on a yearly basis?

I am sure the next place you turned to go after he gives you and your siblings 50 naira to share is to take your own share and find the nearest place to buy fish.

Your hands use to always stink of fish.
