A crate of egg was 700/800/900, now it's 6200

To travel to Benin from Ojota park was 1200/1500, now it's almost 30000

With 500 we go chop a plate of swallow with white soup garnished with assorted meat...

Domino pizza was 2500/3000, it's now luxury...

APC is the most demonic party known to humanity, not even the Nazi was as terribly as this evil APC govt
Apart from the genocide against Jews, minorities and disables, the Nazi regime was the best government any country can dream of. Please don't compare APC with the Nazi regime. The APC, like all Nigerian political parties, is full of shameless retards.

Cry no more because terrible T-Pain will soon crash the price as he promised before hitting the ground running 22 months ago today.

This is what ọmọlúwàbís do - honour their words. Definitely Aṣiwaju ọmọlúwàbís will honour his words.

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

Re: I Miss The Good Old Days (photos) by KennethOkonkwo: 5:22pm On Mar 29, 2025
That same route was 50naira before PDP took over in 1999!

Imagine the fuel price two administrations from now. Every new government raises the price. It has been on an upward trajectory since Babangida's regime till today.
It's been on an upward trend for longer than that. IBB sold fuel for 75 kobo. In 1981, it was 15 kobo.

I beg to differ. Nigeria will be better someday. But only when you and I wake up and do something about the current crop of leaders,or future leaders that occupy public offices that matters
it can't get better due to different ethnic groups. It'd have been better if we speak one Native language

Things were damn cheap then and yahoo pay wasn't attractive. Car no cost at all,petrol price na play and everybody dey drive car wirh AC then.i rem vividly
Yahoo pay was not attractive? Please do not make me laugh.

Yahoo was common place as early as 2008. Infact, I was sitting down in a internet cafe once, in 2008, and EFCC raided the place to flush out yahoo boys (no home internet back then).

Cars were expensive. Especially if you were not at least upper middle class.

Petrol prices were kept artifically low, and the result was rising debt. That is why GEJ wanted to comot fuel subsidy in 2012. Na you Nigerians tell am no. Otherwise that fuel would have been N150 by then...wait by 2013, it was already above N100 in most parts of the country. N87 was just for a few stations.

How has Nigeria stopped relying on just exporting raw materials since independence?

That is the genesis of our problem. AND Your party did nothing about it, and APC is doing nothing about it.
