Some people are surprised. Well, salary for fresh graduates in the early 80s was usually between 4000 to 6000 naira per annum depending on the sector. That comes to about 300 naira plus per month, so spending 100 naira on basic items is in order. A gallon of Kings oil was about 3.50 naira around that time for instance. 2 Likes |

oluwaseyi0: Thank you for calling me a young lad o. Old man, how old were you when Buhari seized power in 1983? How old were you when he was pushed out by Buhari? How old was a bottles of coke, gulder and star in 1984? What was the exchange rate of either the pound or dollar to the naira in 1984 and in 1990? Where were the branches of Kingsway rendezvous in Lagos? What became of them? Please old man provide the answers and then I will tell you how dignifying life was even in between Gowon and Buhari's military leadership. |

delpee: I don't know Kings oil was in existence then. The popular oil was sunflower oil and I remember buying it at 2.50 naira in '84,including American long grain rice at 52 naira. I cannot remember the shelf price but the purchase was from the essential commodities impounded by soldiers from "hoarders" My memory was fuzzy and you are right. The brand was known as kings sunflower oil then |

what makes you guys think there was ever a time when Nigeria was better if that woman were to be alive and you get to hear her side of the story of how she earned that 100 naira kya how many families back then do you think were able to afford that if things were cheap back then, why didn't everybody lived a happy life if a car was sold at 30naira and we think it's cheap and a better Niger, then why is it that not all parents were able to afford it the truth Niger had never been better, just that generations keep modifying same as the currencies |

Even under the wobbling and fumbling PDP, life was still good for Nigerians until these funeral undertakers known as APC stole their way into government. A group of the worsts who have no idea about governance. It started with the worst President in the history of Nigeria, the dull Bubu and reached its crescendo with the current pretenders in office. From Obasanjo to the good soul Yaradua (may God bless his soul) to GEJ, Nigerians still had dignity and almost everyone lived reasonably well. Enter the the economic mediocres and governance misfits, the party that superintendended over the looting, pillaging and crass vandalisation of the public till, the party that will go down as the most clueless and unprepared assemblage of economic buccaneers, who pirated the ship of Nigerian state at sea, the APC, who gleefully selected the reverse gear of the ship of state and sailed her to Bermuda triangle. Took the naira/dollar from 200/1 dollar and massacred it to 1700naira/1 dollar in just about 9 years. Managed to bring it down to about 1000/1 usd this month and is celebrating as if it reduced it to what the PDP handed over to them in 2015(200). Turned Nigerians to beggars. May God Almighty judge them. |
