Learn to read an article before commenting. This is why Nigerians fail simple comprehension tests.

Pardon my naivety bro. I didn't look at the moniker I was responding to until now. Had I done that, I would have simply ignored her.

iamdsam: I'm a young boy. Can someone please tell me what Pen Pal is?
A penpal is a person with whom you exchange letters
or e-mails. Most of the time you choose a person from
another country. It is supposed to benefit the greater
understanding in between people.

cool cool

i don't believe this, even the typed journal isn't authentic bcus back in 1949 the font style wasn't in existence bcus they where using type-writer. It's too modern to be true considering the age of computer systems

How could you all believe that piece of lame report??
In 1949,what was the dollar rate to the naira that would pre-empt a Nigerian to want to "scam" a pen-pal of dollars?
In 1949 wasnt Nigeria a 'Paradise" under the British colony?
Didn't parents "telewire" funds from Nigeria to their wards schooling abroad?
How many Nigerians rush abroad for better life if not for educational purposes and to earn a Degree after which they all come back to take up well paying jobs here in Nigeria?
Wasnt the chances of getting a job after the then "Standard 6" high?
Prior to IBB's regime,the dollar exchanged for less than a Naira,it was during IBB's regime that the dollar shot up from less than 80kobo to a dollar to almost a Naira to a Dollar and then it started skyrocketing after IMF "conned" Maradona into unneccesary borrowing and devaluing.
If you say that piece was written during the 90's and happened during the 90's prior to the proliferation of the computer and internet in Nigeria,I'd believe,but 1949?? Mba...No no...iro..babu.
