Shawarma used to be 500 back when I was in school, and I was busy thinking the price was outrageous back then 😂. Now it's 3500/4000.

I remembered paying N500 from Calabar to Uyo during this time.

Now from Calabar to Uyo is N6500.

😭 😭 😭

THOSE ''LOW PRICES'' WERE ARTIFICIALLY LOW BASED ON FUEL SUBSIDIES!

10 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!

FUEL SUBSIDY IS OVER. MOVE ON!

NO MORE FREE OIL!

You got it.

People keep referring to some years back, as if Nigerians were leaving comfortable or not complaining then.....
Even back in the mid and late 80's . I remember, my grandma always do giveaway to the poor . Especially around Lagos Island, Ebute meta , oshodi , Surulere. Some families couldn't even afford 3 meals a day .

But some people keep saying good old days ....how many people can afford to buy a bag of rice in early 90's to late 90's ? Back in the 80's . Some families only eat rice, chickens during festive season .....

searchlight:
The 10 billion dollars saved by Tinubu where is it? Did it reduce the price of electricity, hospital bill, food items, import duties, etc. Zombies are coursed

WHAT 10 BILLION DOLLARS WAS SAVED?

THERE WAS NO 10 BILLION DOLLARS WAITING FOR TINUBU WHEN HE GOT INTO OFFICE.

TO PAY THE SUBSIDIES HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO BORROW THE 10 BILLION DOLLARS, JUST LIKE BUHARI DID THE YEAR BEFORE HIM!

SO ALL THAT HAPPENED IS WE STOPPED BORROWING 10 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR TO PAY FUEL SUBSIDIES.

INSTEAD, WE ARE RAMPING UP LOCAL PRODUCTION AND REFINING TO EVENTUALLY BRING COSTS DOWN THE NATURAL WAY, NOT BY SUBSIDIES!!

IMAGINE A COUNTRY WITH A 30 BILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL BUDGET BORROWING 10 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR TO PAY FUEL SUBSIDIES.

IT’S AN UNSUSTAINABLE MODEL THAT WOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE ECONOMY AND LED TO MONSTROUS LEVELS OF NATIONAL DEBT!

A VENEZUELA SITUATION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN 10 TIMES WORSE THAN WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH!

SO TINUBU IS DOING WHAT HAS TO BE DONE.

IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS A WICKED MAN WHO LOVES TO SEE NIGERIANS SUFFER!

cashmyles:
All over the world, government subsidizes essential services to the people but in Nigeria the reverse is the case and you support this clueless government. Food, electricity, shelter, clothing and transportation which are basic things in other part of the world become luxury in Nigeria. You this supporters of evil, aye gbogbo yin ti baje

Truejihadistont:
Did that stop the "borrowing"?

Exactly.

I remember back in the 1980's people were grumbling about how SAP was dealing with us, and before that how we were queueing for food, and so on. Some people thought that the 1970's was a good time...lol. Bread was 50 Kobo. My father bought table fan for N16 in 1981, and spent N50 building a bed for my younger bro in 1983...and that was a lot of money.

Infact back in 1988, one university lecturer was bringing mangoes from a tree in his house for students....to eat.

Rice was probably less than N500 in 1990, yet to survive, my parents both did side hustles. At one point my popsy was commuting between 2 jobs every week. For 2 years self.

I was admitted to hospital for treatment in 1991, my papa spent N100 in bills . He would joke about how I had drained his bank account(I still feel bad about that N100 today, lol. ).

Even rice, that people are shouting about now. Rice in the 1960's was a luxury food. You got to eat it once a week, if you were lucky. Maybe a few times a week if you were super rich.

There were no good old days, unless your parents were very wealthy or upper middle class. MIddle class suffered well well too.

Thanks for this information. Between 2016 to 2018 I was involved in a pipeline project between Calabar and Creek Town. So, my residence was in Calabar, and I frequently made trips between Uyo and Calabar. The road was still good at that time, and I must say one of the safest roads in Nigeria. You can pass the road at any time without any issues.
