This is how somebody spent N100 in 1984

chai Wallahi before na before. He even dash His Mama 20 Naira to take care of her self

It is well. Good old days, around that time I remember I bought my first car at 120naira . Genz can't relate.

Today, N100 is as useless as the P in Psychology.

All your holes must be full of cobwebs by now

Nigeria may at some point need to scale down Naira.
1 New Naira = 100 Old Naira

Ghana once did a similar thing.

Just for convenience though.

Hey georgous how are you?
It's bn a lang while.

But today #100 can’t buy ordinary half bag of pure water

I wonder how broke men are coping this period?.

Zonefree that used 1 boiled egg to celebrate Christmas last year even when the economy isn’t this bad, I wonder what he will use this year now that the economy is worse.

May God help them!
Shior!!!

fake valuation of your currency doesn't make life easier for the common man

The yams seen there at 14 naira would have been about 14 or 15 big sizes in those cement head pans, used by Abokis to sell them. A bag of rice was sold for 32 naira, so the 10 naira seen there should be about 6 or 7 derica cups, with the jara added.

Na Buhari // IBB // Abacha // Idiagbon scatter everything then as the military government.

I used to pay my house rent back then, with ₦45, Good old days.

So naira used to have value like this?

Imagine how the elders enjoyed 9ja, only to screw things up before our time,...sigh

it was . I remember back then same time up till 1987 my dad traveled to UK without visas, electricity was uninterrupted and food generally affordable for most people in Nigeria . Nigerians worries more then was armed robbery over ishola oyenusi, Anini and co and corruption in Babangida government over Dele giwa, Gloria okon, mamman vasta etc People travelled to US only for vacation or education and came back after they are finish. In the 80s nobody made merry more than Nigerians, every night was party , social clubs, merry , eating and dancing…nobody planned or thought about the future as nobody thought Nigeria will become like this in their wildest imagination. Infact if you meet anyone one above 70 years and relive the good old days of Nigeria they might start crying remembering how good it was then. ..the younger ones will not understand

The question is, were things cheap for the common man then?
I could show you newspaper clips from 1987 but what good would that do. Ever wondered why "the good old days" are so called? People only think things were better in the past because they become worse over time. But just because it is worse now doesn't mean it was good before. Few understand the difference.
