Nice work! To buttress the relative drop in value over the intervening years, below is the record of Nigeria's annual inflation rate, from 1976. It is evident that some years were particularly bad e.g. 1988/ 1989. Nigeria Inflation Rate - Historical Data Year Inflation Rate (%) Annual Change 2021 16.95% 3.71% 2020 13.25% 1.85% 2019 11.40% -0.70% 2018 12.09% -4.43% 2017 16.52% 0.85% 2016 15.68% 6.67% 2015 9.01% 0.95% 2014 8.06% -0.41% 2013 8.48% -3.74% 2012 12.22% 1.38% 2011 10.84% -2.88% 2010 13.72% 1.17% 2009 12.56% 0.97% 2008 11.58% 6.19% 2007 5.39% -2.84% 2006 8.23% -9.64% 2005 17.86% 2.87% 2004 15.00% 0.97% 2003 14.03% 1.16% 2002 12.88% -6.00% 2001 18.87% 11.94% 2000 6.93% 0.31% 1999 6.62% -3.38% 1998 10.00% 1.47% 1997 8.53% -20.74% 1996 29.27% -43.57% 1995 72.84% 15.80% 1994 57.03% -0.13% 1993 57.17% 12.58% 1992 44.59% 31.58% 1991 13.01% 5.64% 1990 7.36% -43.10% 1989 50.47% -4.04% 1988 54.51% 43.22% 1987 11.29% 5.57% 1986 5.72% -1.72% 1985 7.44% -10.39% 1984 17.82% -5.39% 1983 23.21% 15.51% 1982 7.70% -13.12% 1981 20.81% 10.84% 1980 9.97% -1.74% 1979 11.71% -10.00% 1978 21.71% 6.62% 1977 15.09% -9.21% 1976 24.30% -9.66% NaijaphiliaBlog: |

DeFuturePresido: HIs career would likely not have been so stellar. Nonetheless, he would have still had an extraordinary career, even here. There have been many incredibly talented medical professionals throughout Nigeria's history, many of whom chose to remain in Nigeria (or to return to the country). Great kudos to Doctor Olutoye and his team for this heart-lifting and incredible feat!. |

KosiGee: You are absolutely correct. For perspective and comparison, let's use Nigeria's minimum wage as a basis: A. In 1972, the monthly minimum wage was about N60 ( ie £60). B. In 2023, it is N30,000. Looking at school fees, feeding, accommodation, books, transport, etc, it wouldn't have been so easy for an average parent to send their children to a university at that time. |

NaijaphiliaBlog: Interesting! And to think that someone actually kept that meal ticket for so long. Indeed, those were the days of Nigeria's then nascent University system. In 1972, these were the only 6 universities existing in Nigeria: 1. University of Ibadan (est. 1948). 2. University of Nigeria, Nsukka (est. 1955). 3. University of Ife (now OAU, est. 1961). 4. University of Northern Nigeria (now ABU, est. 1962). 5. University of Lagos (est. 1962). 6. University of Benin (est. 1970). The next 7 universities were all established in 1975 ie 7. University of Maiduguri. 8. University of Calabar. 9. University of Jos. 10. University of Ilorin. 11. University of Port-Harcourt. 12. University of Sokoto (now Usman Danfodio University). 13. Abdullahi Bayero University College Kano (Now Bayero University Kano). |

chimezie1283: You are right. Dangote group also happens to be the 2nd-highest employer of labour in Nigeria. Mr Aliko Dangote is also one of greatest philanthropists ever to come out of Africa. Dangote Foundation is responsible for contributing over $100 million in charitable funds to several causes in Nigeria and Africa over the past 4 years alone. |

This quoted post is a highly logical extrapolation. McBishop2020, well done! However, there is an option you did not consider i.e.: 3+{(1)(1)}×5 being equivalent to 3+11×5 (which means each half-full glass is 1, and the two 1s side by side is actually 11) With BODMAS, that will be 11 x 5 plus 3 = 58 McBishop2020: |

Guyman01: Coincidentally, the late Omar Bongo was also accused of corruption. In fact, between March and April this year, 4 of his children were charged in France with embezzlement and corruption. Africa does have them! Is it something in the water? |

That is because many Nigerians believe that the system is riddled with bribery and corruption. Some have obtained justice via the legal route but some others have gotten burnt. This is part of the reasons so many Nigerians resort to self-help in addressing cheating and injustice. SAFDO: |

Hiring and firing are realities of corporate life. Nonetheless, those companies and managers that understand the importance of human resources will always endeavour to treat their workers with dignity, courtesy and consideration, even when they have to let them go. Thus, the manager or supervisor who has been given the assignment to fire this long-serving worker should endeavour to do the following: 1. Convince management to give some time/funds to prepare the staff for the disengagement e.g. by arranging a pre-retirement course for the staff. 2. Ensure that the staff is given a letter of disengagement that highlights the worker's positive contributions during his years of service, and that expresses appreciation for same. 3. Convince management to provide a disengagement package (golden handshake) for the staff, in addition to his normal disengagement package. 4. If possible, arrange a send-forth outing for the staff. Of course, the above only applies if the staff was a loyal and diligent staff who is not being disengaged for a serious offence! ScamHunter: 164 Likes 10 Shares |

The way chinese and indian-owned companies treat their workers is unbelievable. Imagine locking in their workers! Where are our Trade Unions like the NLC and the TUC? We need to put a stop to this nonsense in our country. Its time to start calling out companies that are treating their workers like slaves. This particular one (Bonny Pie Ltd) is owned by Chinese. It was incorporated in April 2017 and below are the listed Owners / Directors / Key management personnel: NAME / DESIGNATION Jianzhong Li Director Guiping Ma Director Changan Wang Director Yuming Peng Director DeFuturePresido: 2 Likes |

The Federal Government does not appear to be particularly bothered about the plague of abductions happening all over the country... regional security arrangements like Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn will proliferate very soon. NaijaphiliaBlog: |

Kobojunkie: The above is the best response so far to the post. REASONS 1. The incident may (or may not) have happened. 2. As an eye-witness to a grievous assault, fear of personal harm may truly have prevented the OP from intervening to stop the attack. 3. Fear of harm may also have prevented him/her from taking photos or videos of the incident. 4. Nonetheless, the OP can help to prevent similar future incidents by going with the victim to report to the Church Pastor or/and the Police. 5. Thereafter, it will be a simple matter to fish out the perpetrators via an identity parade (if they are truly employees of the church) and justice can then be served. This is not intended to condemn the OP or assert that he/she lied. SHALOM! |

donbachi: You are absolutely correct. Nevertheless, health professionals are very important because they have helped to save countless lives. Some years back, a bus with which I travelled had an accident. Those of us that survived did so because of the timely intervention of good samaritans and hardworking doctors and nurses. Our government needs to find out why so many doctors are leaving, and then do something positive about it. |
