I do not believe there was ever a time you could buy a house for 100 Naira in Lagos State

Pray hard they don't kill themselves because of the investments or become a nuisance to society because of privilege.

That N100 was a lot of money back in 1979. I remember buying grilled meat (suya) for N20 back in 1982 and 2 of us could NOT even finish the large quantity. However, I wonder where in Lagos State she bought a house for N100? Perhaps the undeveloped suburbs or outskirts of Lagos.

As of late 1960s my grandfather purchased a large plot of land (on lease) in Lagos for £20. I saw the receipt myself back in the 1990s.

I'm not sure the price is factual.

My dad bought a motorcycle in 1980 loan for 135 naira. (CG 125 Honda)

How can a house be 100 naira?

Fact check please

merits:
#100 that was like 100M nowadays tell me how many people can afford #100 that time to buy house,abeg nothing changes Nigeria is a recycling ♻️ of corruption & cheat nothing more

MadamExcellency:
The house can't be N100. I remember, Mbakwe pegged school fees at N4 per pupil in Imo State. If school fees is N4, a house can't be N100 in Lagos State.

ppogba:
You are not far from the truth. This disproves the fact that N100 will be enough to buy a house then.

It was part of a 1979 government scheme where civil servants could purchase lots for N100. We applied, were successful, and were allocated the house. So, we moved into our home in Satellite Town, where my sewing business continued to grow.

Timoleon:
Make una try dey read. As civil servants, the government gave them houses. To qualify for the opportunity however, they paid N100.

BlackViper:
Didn't you read where she said it was a government scheme? Most likely it was heavily subsidised

MadamExcellency:
Then there must be other deductions. She didn't state all the terms. Incomplete information in this case is deception or plain lies.

RaptorX:
Not true, N 100 in 79 wasn't a lot of money.

Tayorshd87:
#100 was a lot of money and it's like 100m now .

Not everyone too can afford it then as easy as it looks ..

brain54:
So the simplicity of life then is comparable to what it is now...?


You should have asked what I meant by simplicity of you don't understand!

HighQue007:
Una problem be say una no understand Economics or life as a whole.

Life was never easy then. 100 naira then no be beans. You have to understand how inflation works. Haba

If life was easy wetin Fela dey sing about ?

HighQue007:
As a matter of fact the simplicity of life now can’t be compared. Now is better. Then when there was no phone no internet where if you have your loved ones that travel miles you have to send letter and wait months to get a reply. The things you look down on now were not enjoyed even by the kings then. So I don’t know the context
