I trained him well

Yes o! And the results speak for themselves.

More grease to your elbows.

Certainly wasn't. However, it is quite obvious that the standard of living in the country has fallen.

overdrive:


That sum of money wasn't easy to come by then.

Those were the days!

Almost seems like you are talking about an entirely different country...??

ACRI:
The price of a brand new Peugeot vehicle was around #6000 naira at SCOA, my Father bought one around late seventies and early eighties. They had payment plans. I drove those vehicles cos I grew up to meet them.

University of ibadan was feeding students at dinning halls then and they had their laundry done for them too in the seventies.

The current political class destroyed this country shortly they took power in the eighties-bubu and nineties. Lets hope they fix it

Some interesting stats come to mind:

A. From only 6 universities in 1972, to 170 as at year 2021 (of which 43 are Federal, 79 Private, and 48 State, Universities).

B. Population 1972 = 58.17m; 2021 = 213.40m.

C. GDP (nominal) 1972 = $12.27B; 2021 = $440.8

D. GDP (per capita) 1972 = $209; 2021 = $2,065.75

E. Minimum monthly wage 1972 = N60; 2021 = N30,000

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).

Elon will take back his space

Very likely...Musk owns businesses that have great potential for growth.

He is likely to regain his No 1 position before long.

Sammy4Joy:


That is another angle...didn't realize he overthrew his own uncle.

Na wa o!

Yes he did.

Obiang's uncle, Francisco Macías Nguema was the first president of Equatorial Guinea from the country's independence in 1968 until his overthrow in 1979. He declared himself himself president for life in 1972,
and is widely remembered as one of the most brutal dictators in history.

On 03Aug1979, he was overthrown in a bloody coup d'état by his nephew Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and was subsequently tried and executed.

...You can check out the full history on www.wikipedia.org

Mindlog:
The father is the president, the son is the vice president.

Equatorial Guinea is running a hereditary oligarchy, apparently.

Of course, cronyism will be the order of the day.

Very sad indeed.

Great development.

This is the type of news we need in Africa.

NaijaSamurai:
Na wa o!

What is happening over there in Ogun State?

Cases of kidnap for ransom are becoming very rampant.

Not long ago, a farmer was abducted on the way to work at Ofada, and was only released after millions of naira were paid.

Most Nigerians are not interested in pursuing their rights through the legal system.

This is good.

Positive news is like a breath of fresh air.

This refinery will single-handedly reduce Nigeria’s fuel/commodity imports by about 40%, and create a minimum of 145,000 jobs, with attendant positive socio-economic benefits.

We thank God that it is coming on stream at last.

These Asians want to colonise Nigeria.

They are already colonizing most of the African continent.

Travelling by train can be very interesting.

However, the risk of bandit attacks far outweighs the potential sight-seeing / experiential benefits!
