In the early 80s, the price of this was less than ₦4000

Those of you in your 40s now

Why was your dad unable to buy this tortoise car?

Him no get money na

Same reason you can't afford ₦2m Toyota car now

Which will become like this Tortoise car in cost value in 40yrs time

Point is

There was no "when Nigeria was good"

No time was life better

In fact, life was more difficult, years back

What makes a time or season better for you, among other factors, is the opportunity you identified, maximized and sustained or divested.

Nigeria was much better in the 80’s than now. In Oke Ado, Ibadan we had pipe borne water. No okadas, taxis were mostly brand new, not shyte cut up Korope and Micra.

In Ibadan where I grew up we had Kingsway with 5 floors of shopping, 2 huge Leventis stores, 1 UTC. For movies we had Queens, Scala, Odeon, and one more.

The only thing good about todays Nigeria is telecom. Before I left Nigeria at 20 years old I’ve had 3 powerbikes and 2 used cars.

The only reason why life was better then was because you are not part of today
How will you keep shouting salary back then when we all know no salary earner can ever become a billionaire now and after

Please think business and invest in crypto and real estate so that you can be prepared for tomorrow and you'll not be shouting Buhari regime was better if another president emerge

My two cent for everyone

I won't fail to reply this quote intelligently and add information that can help even though you sound so stupid

You're quoting companies that went bankrupt which is normal and it happens around the globe but fail to mention those that soared higher and excelled

We children born in suffering in the 90's as you stated are doing better now
What now happens to you 70yrs old man

You need to be informed sir, you don't have to have millions before you make it
You can start from the scratch and scale up and be mindful of puna coz you seem like someone who has an separate apartment in brothels

WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN THE GREATEST TRANSFORMATION OF WEALTH IN HISTORY HAPPENED (Your grandchildren will ask you this bet me)

Heroicvic:
You're pained
Crypto gurus don't talk foolishly? You mean I should answer to every insult threw at me?

I don't have time for losers since you don't want to get the sermon and moreover when did I mention that I'm a Crypto guru?

Enjoy your miserable life

I said I don't have time for losers
Go and school your parents

Who said life wasn't better then? Then generators were for villages where there was no electricity. But now if you don't have like 2 or 3 in the city you never start. I remember then.. Nepa would announce power outage for days on the radio b4 they switch off power, just to carry out repairs.
As a civil servant then you could feed a family of 8 pay their school fees, pay house rent, medicals etc, all on salary and still save some to buy land and build house, But you and I know that your salary now for the month will finish on transport and feeding b4 the next pay check, not to talk about house rent and other bills.
People were honest then,
Life wasn't this hard then.

Heroicvic:
This same has been causing arguments in my neighborhood and I always stand my ground whenever anyone comes to tell me irrelevances
How in the world would you say life then was better?
If you're given opportunity to go back to olden days, would you accept it?
Folks let's not deceive ourselves life now is great and the future will be better
.Crypto is one of the best thing that has ever happened to humanity
.Technology is advancing every minute
.Health section are not left behind

Now back to the original discussion @op put up, do you have the slightest idea of how many under 20 youths drives this ₦2m Toyota car you made mention?
you said life was easy then but how many tortoise Volkswagen were on the road then?
Billionaire today will turn trillionaire tomorrow..
Phones, cars, houses, many good things will advance as time comes

Youth are hitting it better now (not mentioning fraud tho) but you choose life in the 80s?

Common this is to show that you're still living in your past
Think ahead and see the the glory beyond

IF AFTER ALL THESE EPISTLES YOU'RE NOT CONVINCED, THEN PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLDEN DAYS YOU MENTIONED AND LET'S BREATHE PLEASE
