A symbol of wealth in the 80s and 90s… This was the typical setup of a wealthy man's living room.

Not bad at all.

most houses had gone beyond this design by 80s and 90s.

Lol, I know rich people from that era and they did not live in this, they lived in mansions. Even saw a baby grand piano in a friend's sitting room I visited as a kid.

Rich men from this era built better mansions than rich men of today. I mean large houses not the dwarf duplexes people build today.

This is a very normal house.

There were no plasma tvs at the time this was considered a rich man's parlour

I really doubt. 🤔

See as Righteousness2 just rush come this thread .

Na this kind post dey make him religious preek dey rise without falling

This was a not a rich man's parlour. It used to be for people that where almost middle class not even middle class. People above poverty but not rich

OP must have seen poverty in the flesh.

OP where is the apoti fedeko of the 80s and early 90s? What's plasma tv doing there?

In a rich man's house then, you'd see a lot of quality carved decor and spacious living rooms with luxurious wavy settees, aquarium and the likes. No landline telephone, no bookshelf in your picture and you say it's a rich man's house. Doesn't look like it at all.

When Nigeria still make sense despite being under Military rule.

Now in this USELESS Tinibu's govt, Bread, Groundnuts and Fanta don become Rich Man's food.

While Yam is eaten by ONLY Pastors or Rev. Fathers.

No 80s/90s sitting room is this small and no one uses a flat screen in Nigeria around that period.
This is more like just a set up for a those retro movies they now make this days.

This is just an average man's sitting room in that era. More like the sitting room of someone who is just doing fine in the city.

Damn it Bwana

Black and white Television missing

This is not true. Even in the 90s, the rich man's parlour contained ornate furniture and lush carpets. The picture you put here can even be found in some face me I face you houses, the ones with room and parlor.

Luxury will always get recycled

Fashion will fade and make a comeback

An average civil servant parlour back then...but i understand the type of richman..Nigeria standard once you can afford like two cars and own a house, definitely richman.

This looks more like a living room of a babalawo in current times than a rich man's house of those days.

There was never a time when there would be sheets on the flooring of a cushion. Never.

They could be on the armrest and headrest.
But never found on the yanchrest.

Whoever did this never visited a rich man in his entire life

This smells middle class and has nothing to do with the rich


But it depends on what you see as rich

There wasn't Flat screen in 80s op....

My grandfather had this kind of sitting room but he wasn't rich🤷. Plus there wasn't flat screen then

Time changes everything.

Was there flat screen tv in the 80's op? 🤔

You are wrong, this setting is for a middle class of that era not the rich
