Nigeria don spoil o.. stumbled on this receipt 🧾 in my mom's room. In 1988 A Bottle of fanta was sold for #2.50k at Hilton Hotel Abuja 😂 Same fanta is sold for over #2,500 per bottle today at Hilton Abuja if I am right 2024.

Our economy has really downsized.

Things have changed my nigga

Original Fanta ooo oo o not the current one that they have removed the Oranges put wetin dem like

I wish things came become better again. Some people have milked this country dry.. so sad

That is Two Naira, fifty kobo. In 1988, how many workers earn N500 as monthly salary? Infact, I strongly doubt if Nigeria annual budget was anywhere close to 10 billion. Budgets today are in tens of trillions.

Let's do small arithmetic:

Fanta in Hilton in 1988 =₦2.50
Fanta in Hilton in 2024 =₦750.00

So Fanta increased 300times in 36years

Therefore in next 36years (year 2060), price of Fanta in Hilton will be:
300×₦750 =₦225,000.00

The way the naira is losing value is scary

This is the effect of "Subsidy is Gooooonnneee"!!!

Vegetable druggie took an overdose of coq, mount podium to read inaugural speech only for druggie to open smelly mouth to Shout Subsidy is GONE. Like, this man doesnt deserve to live among humans.

Lord have mercy

I also heard it is more expensive in some other clubs.

That was a lot of money then. That bottle of Fanta in a regular shop at that time would be about 50-70 kobo.

Hilton and Sheraton and the likes have always been for the high rollers.

Provided that is 'all things being equal' till the next 36 yrs.

But in reality, that is not possible.

A bottle of Fanta at 2.50k in 1988 is very expensive na.

That means a bottle of Fanta in nicon Hilton in 1988 is more expensive than a bag of cement then.

Those big hotel have been ripping people since time immemorial.

What is the national minimum wage of civil servants in 1988?

Greet your mother for us

Fanta is #2500 in Trancorp as at today.

That was 36 years ago if I'm correct. Alot of things has happened. Different taxes, different marketing strategies, several branding and this was also before the Nigerian could access the internet.

The price Fanta is being sold today is OK compared with today's realities
Things can't remain the same

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
Fanta is #2500 in Trancorp as at today.

why??

Them even give u receipt for 1 bottle of fanta. Ok na.

victory36:
why??

it's #360 or #400 outside but it's #2500 in Trancorp because only billionaires visit Transcorp. A room per night there is #500k.

We should be fighting for the future of our children
But Nigerians are too afraid to fight for the future of their kids.

What are you saying. So the 300x price increase between 1988 & 2024 is not reality?

Maybe you would have doubted in 1988 if someone had told you the price would increase from 2.50 to 750.
