Well, this is a parable, Nigeria should do the needful. Must we continue like this... We ain't slave and shouldn't be treated as one.

True, one extinguisher may not be enough. I had a similar experience once and my extinguisher finished and fire was still blazing from the bonnet. Luckily, area boys with sand helped put it out eventually. While fellow motorists dey pass and not a single one stopped to help! Abi nobody among them get fire extinguisher sef? Ever since na bad eye I dey take look Lagos motorists o.

I magine.... I don't care attitude exhibit by ay is not helping at all. All is wlelll

So unfortunate mehn..

To every motorists atleast let's av more than one extinguisher on our vehicles.


A car is OK with one but anything jeep or space bus a minimum of 2 is OK... This car got burnt due to no extinguishers available

Brilliant!!! Not only that, you may recall that they tried to play the same trick on Russia (imagine, big Russia!!) telling it not to introduce capital controls as that will destroy the Russian economy. The Russians promptly introduced capital control and that has no only stemmed the slide of the Rouble but that currency has recovered and its waxing stronger. The Chinese even closed a massive SWAP deal with Russia and both will accept each other's currency for trade settlement.

That fat cheeked, inferiority complex world bank clerk got us into these mess. As usual trying to impress her world bank bosses and clients not withstanding whether our country goes to pots. NOI started this and got us to this awful mess.

Obasanjo gave us NOI and Jonathan. The man is from my village but I despise his guts.

My brother, it will only take sane people to understand that Nigeria is on her way to freedom. I agree will affect us both, on the long run it will pay. For me, nice move by the CBN. Been waiting for this a very long time time a go

On 1st January, 1973, Nigeria made a great leap in changing to decimal currency. The decision to change to decimal currency followed the recommendations of the Decimal Currency Committee set up in 1962 which submitted its report in 1964. The change involved both the notes and coins. The major unit of currency which used to be One (1) Pound no longer existed and the One (N1) Naira which was equivalent to Ten (10/-) Shillings became the major unit. The notes were in the denominations of Ten Naira (N10), Five Naira (N5), One Naira (N1) and Fifty Kobo (50k) while coins were Twenty Kobo (20k), Ten Kobo (10k), Five Kobo (5k), One Kobo (1K) and Half (k) Kobo. The coins have the same dimension of 12 x 123 inches.

Before 1959

Prior to the establishment of the West African Currency Board, Nigeria had used various forms of money including cowries and manilas. Commodities were also used as a form of exchange known as barter.

The West African Currency Board was responsible for issuing currency notes in Nigeria from 1912 to 1959.

Cowries
Dimension: @ 0.5 In across
Period Used: before 1700
The Cowry has, for centuries, served our people as an important form of currency. In 1860 the following system was in use: 40 Cowries formed a "String"; 50 Strings made a "head" and 10 heads comprised a "bag". In Lagos in 1865 one bag of 20,000 shells was exchanged for one or two English Pounds. [4th photos]
