Quest7777:I remember the radio jingle. “Federal savings bank, federal savings bank, you can open an account with ten…..” I think it was ten Naira in my time not ten kobo…though I may be wrong. 16 Likes 3 Shares |

That 10k in today's money might be around N500. To some extent, it makes sense. 2 Likes |

Are you people aware that in the 70s and 80s, most banks closed down which made your grandparent poor? 48 Likes 1 Share |

What is the benefit of devaluing our naira since we don't have any reasonable thing to export aside oil and gas with a set price? At least many Asian countries like China devalued their currency to encourage exports, why did Nigeria devalue hers? Please don't reply me if you have no reasonable comment to make. 16 Likes |

kelechi50:If Fela did not die then, he won’t die now. Many of you who didn’t live through it don’t appreciate how tolerant of dissent Nigeria is today. All these people talking anyhow, Sowore, Obi, would have gone missing or if they are lucky locked up on trumped up charges. Meanwhile these same people have skeletons in their cupboards but the government allows them to make noise. 8 Likes |

helinues:This is why history must be taught. Anyone who reads the history of Nigeria from pre-independence to today will think it’s the same set of political actors from the 1940s. Yet batons have changed hands many times. The lesson is that Nigeria’s problems are because we are Nigerians and human nature does not change. So if you are not allowed to know the missteps your fathers or grandfathers and the consequences, you are more likely to make the same missteps because you have the same behaviour as your fathers. There is nothing new under the sun as far as Nigeria is concerned. The only difference is we have a generation doing the same things that don’t know how it ended the last time. 5 Likes |

Quest7777:True that. It was the norm back in the day for those kinds of savings account openings with 10 kobo and above. The services were painfully slow though. However, the digitization of the 21st-Century is way BETTER than what we experienced in the bricks-and-mortar banking sector (and a few other sectors) in the 1970s through to the very early 2000s. 1 Like 1 Share |

Life goes on, what we enjoy today for less amount will be luxury in the future times. Life has not always been fair, there have always been poor people around and will continue to be. I feel people have access to more luxury life than even before. Back in the days, eating rice, Spaghetti , milk , eggs used to be for the big men or middle class but now most people have access to it. Once upon a time rice used to be eaten in some homes on Sundays, some on special occasions, some only festives period like Christmas, Easter and sallah 1 Like |

My dad bought his first 504 Peugeot car in 1975 brand new at the cost of 3,000 naira. In 1975 2 naira or rather $2 was equivalent to 1 naira. This means my father bought his car for $7,000. If you go to the United States today you can still buy a brand new car for between $7,000 to $8,000. Politicians are Nigerias' decay constant fabolouz1: 1 Like |

erad:Short but powerful submission. Nostalgia can be a powerful delusion. We all like to romanticize the past thinking all was perfect, dandy and everybody was living in bliss. Nothing can be more further from the truth. Living in the past always deprives us of fully living in the present. The past is one big mirage, and the future is also an illusion. What really matters is "now". The truth is every time, era, century, millennium all had their good and bad times too. None is rose-tinted like we all think it to be. 2 Likes |
