It's more than a million my friend, don't only look at interest rates but inflation as well. Land that cost 50k in 1994 is now 10 million or more, same for automobiles, cement and so on, everything has risen exponentially.
I know this is the angle you would be coming at. Don't look at it from a Nigerian perspective, just check the dollar inflation rate since then. Low.

It's the samething, 100,000 dollars in 1994 had the purchasing power of 1,000,000 dollars today. I've lived in the USA half of my life and my father's first property was bought for $20,000, same property was sold in 2014 for $189,000. So many more examples, think inflation, compund interest and opportunity cost. Another scenario, use that 100,000 to buy shares of Apple in 1994, today it would be worth well over 1 million dollars. There are plenty more examples but you get the gist.

Am inclined to believe his story.That 1994 naija squad was so good and would have reached the final.we practically conceded with two minutes left to play.sunday oliseh made a huge error(strategic giveaway) that led to the equalizer.c.westerhof was oliseh’s agent back then.and we lost that match.i had these theories long ago but now it has been confirmed by not only bonfrere jo,but also a member of that team,emeka ezeugo(the destroyer).The Italians despite how strong they were back then were scared shitless of that Nigerian team,there best player Roberto baggio had not yet sparked to life and were facing an early exit.instead they ended up getting to the final where they lost to Brazil after baggio lost his penalty.

I believe.Westerhof was more or less like a welfare officer and an opportunist. Bonfere Jo was his tactical brain box,his metronome. If Bonfere had handled that team ,Nigeria would have gone all the way.
Two years later in the summer Olympics of Atlanta 96, he led Nigeria to her finest moment ,her acme of football glory with his technical expertise.
Hard on the heels of that,at the AFCON 2000, co-hosted by Nigeria and Ghana, he almost replicated a similar feat,but for the error of Ike Shorunmu and the disastrous officiating.
Bonfere Jo,for me, moved out of the shadows of Westerhof and wrote himself in the stars.

I liked Jo better no doubt. Westerhof sure seemed like a loudmouthed con artist. Well AIDs is dealing with him like karma deals with the corrupt.
Re: Bonfrere Jo: Westerhof Sold Nigeria's Game Against Italy At USA 94 by DeeMain(m): 3:47pm On Apr 08, 2020
My problem with Westerhoff in that game was leaving an ineffective Yekini in the pitch for the entire match. He had Ikpeba, Siasia and Ekoku on the bench and we played that match as if we had no 9.

Another problem was many of our defensive players being offensive minded with 2 minutes to end the match. Haaaa, that match still hurt just writing about it.

Was it Westerhoff that told Oliseh to send an aimless ball to nobody which resulted in the Dino Baggio throwing that triggered the equalizing goal? Was it Westerhoff that told Eguavoen to barge into a harmless Roberto Baggio from the back for the stupid penalty we conceded against a 10-man Italy?

Anyway, if what Bonfrere is saying is true, we must prosecute Westerhoff. No time.

The only thing we should consider here is inflation. There was a time Ibadan, kano and kaduna had a higher pedigree and city value than Abuja and to an extent, Uyo. Today there is a huge gulf in the property cost difference between these cities, predominantly Abuja.......we should be looking at cost of fruits, foodstuffs and maybe popular musicians album cost and international beverages like coke. Land and houses have so many external factors that distorts their value........
