Chai chatinent....Soho alhaji.
Ina gesuwa fa baba na.

Who be dis indomie generation sef?

From what year to what year?

Racoon:
Humn! Nigeria's currency evolution was a gross tragedy as its bastardized economy.

Those Old Naira Notes represent Nigeria when we are still normal and doing good compared to what we faced today

tollyboy5:
That longer naira note was the best for me. Polymer na rubbish! Emefiele edition na scam! Major scam!
Obidient supported scam!

Some APC Supporters don't have Brain. Was it not Buhari that brought Emefiele?

Bizibi:
In 1996 you dare not carry 50 naira as a student in secondary School,in 1988,I carried 5 naira to school and the teacher asked me who gave it to me,she was frowning her face.

I can't imagine the 20 naira I was using to feed everyday in secondary School is the same currency we are using to buy one pure water satchel.

You’re so right. 1988 I was buying plate of mama put jollof rice for 30 kobo with no meat. I think with meat was 50kobo, never ate with meat then. 1 naira used to feed 3 of us during break. I was in primary school then so yes, seeing a child with 5naira would definitely raise eyebrows.

A school mate shared the school fees receipt he paid in 1995 and it was 2,200 naira. Complete 3rd term fees for a boarding missionary school! My heart sunk. That won’t even pay transport to go to school today.

Naira chronicles on Nairaland.


Wittyness.

in 98/99 we didn't pay school fees in primary school, what we were paying was 3 naira for handwork.
And you still get to see many kids sent home by their teachers, many parents were still unable to pay that 3 naira.
Mumsy too try abeg, she still singlehandedly sent two of us to the best private school in the town then.

Chaii those years you will use Ghana must go to withdraw 1 million naira and you will be looking left and right. But today you can carry it in your backpack and nobody will know

Polymer is Soludo. Hatred don block your brain

Plz federal government should revert to the old naira,maybe the spirit of the old will naira catch dollar

That #1 note. The good old days before APC and PDP destroyed the country.

.

Hmmmmmm

The good old Herbert Macaulay note. I won't forget when I found 3 of those notes in one of my dad's old cloths he doesn't wear again. It was as if I hit the jackpot that day. I spent that 3naira for days and days on end. It was like a ten year old child finding free 3thoisand naira today. To think the value of that money then is worth thousands today I pitiful. Are we making progress or retrograding on a yearly basis?

I remember when I dey buy N20 Bread, na him dem dey sell N100 - N150 now. Saving Money is really a big loss with time

These were the good old days . In the . meantime, get on an out-of-this-world music journey with the oraimo spacepods.

Na wa ooo..

Egbo and Ewa..

Egbo 30kobo and Ewa 20kobo

Cashless remains the best

Thank God I was able to see all these monies in my lifetime. From the old paper money to the coins. Omo, I don old oooooo. Thank God for life.

Best notes ever. Trice as thick as the disposables we have now.

It was indeed. I did spend it in early 80s during my secondary school days.

LeoDeKing:
How can 50 kobo be a note?

The 1st picture was the equivalent of $100.

chatinent:
Do you know that the cost for printing one ₦20 note is one thousand times more expensive than the note?

Dey der dey DECEIVE YOURSELF.

Na only one note dem go print?

chatinent:
The reasons they gave for not making the ₦5000 note was also totally illiterate.


For theft safety? Really? So you prefer carry money in $$$ in Nigeria, whereby increasing their FX?

Why must we increasing the $$ forex in Nigeria when we don't really spend it here!! But you can't even try that in Las Vegas gambling pool!

Is this also international relations?
We dumb.

WE DON'T WANT 5000 NOTE
STOP SPREADING EVIL
STOP SPREADING PROPAGANDA
FEAR POSTERITY

ahnie:
Chai bring back memories....my papa carry mint #50 note spoil us that year.

I am sure the next place you turned to go after he gives you and your siblings 50 naira to share is to take your own share and find the nearest place to buy fish.

Your hands use to always stink of fish.
But do you know you were ugly?
