Shagari wasn’t President in 1984. Buhari was.

A bottle of coke was 15 kobo not 30 kobo. Soft drinks generally added money around 1990 to 50 kobo per bottle.

Shagari was kicked out on 31 December 1983 and that was his salary so with due respect your point is pointless and clearly you are one of those people who major in Minors. The point is not the precise date but to give indication of the value of money

A bottle of Coke was 30 kobo from 1979-1984 the price did not change for one day which is indicative of what inflation looked like. Same thing with petrol 20 kobo the entire time . It did not Change

Soft drinks never sold for 15 kobo any where in the 80 or even late 70s. That is fiction,
Malted milk biscuits were 10 kobo and soft drinks 30 kobo and the price never changed throughout Shagari's regime

Within weeks of Buhari coming into power things changed and by August 1984 soft drinks were retailing for 50 kobo

There was scarcity of practically everything and people had to queue to buy Omo and Key Soap. Soldiers would raid warehouses and auction the contents

Your claim about 1990 is wrong By 1990 virtually NOTHING was sold in Kobo any more and Kobo had been phased out

In 1989 Babangida was in power and things were drastically worse by then e.g Petrol had moved to 60 kobo from

We had SAP riots which led to University closure for 5 months
I can tell you do not have personal experience of this

Aminu Dantata dey donate 10million Naira in 1986 follow by Isyaku Rabiu ...that is $5million then approximately 7.5 billion Naira . I still don't know why don't have a Netflix movie on the Dantata family yet... So we know the simple code of money making and peaceful living ... Even Alhaji never beat this record . To think some people are even donating cash.

Ibb 10k, abacha 5k, wahala. Nigeria should divide

They know the truth,in the words of Chinua Achebe 'the only thing that unites other tribes in Nigeria,is their common hatred for the igbos'. Not like they love each other,remove the Igbos from Nigeria and the geographical contraption called Nigeria will collapse like a pack of card.
Know this and know peace!Let's keep sharing love,it is engrained in our culture.

When nobody likes you (as you just confessed yourself), then you are the problem. Have you ever thought of that before?

Igbos allowed the southwest press to paint them as tribalists and dangerous people for a very long time when the opposite is/was the case.
There should be a very fervent rigorous and ruthless pushback against this evil propaganda by those whose stock in trade is to defame characters and "jam heads" for pecuniary interests..

1966 coup says hi.

1966 coup says hi.

Awolowo was the first criminal to be duly prosecuted and jailed for coup plotting in Nigeria.. 2 years before 1966..

Diya organised a coup with a plan to wipe out Abacha and his cohorts. He is not Igbo..

Dimka slaughtered a sitting Head of State and you tribal urchins don't even know his ethnic origin.

Orkas coup was one of the bloodiest in Nigerias history. Tivs are not persecuted for that..

Moral of the story: you agbadorians should come out and wear your tribal pendants of jealousy and ethnic resentment of the igbos like a badge of honor. Stop running back to 1966 to fabricate excuses made in hell

Dantata was damn rich!
10 million naira in 1986 is well above 500 billion naira in this current economy.

very wrong. That was just 5 million USD in 1986, which is about 15 million USD now. That amounts to about 24 billion naira today
