50kg bag imported rice was around N120 under Buhari then N400 under Babangida.
Nigeria's population was 80 million in 1985 and 95 million in 1990. 180 million under Jonathan by 2015 and now estimated at 235 million under Tinubu.

Racoon:
Check out this receipt of goods bought some years back. Extrapolate the cost to the present day Nigeria wherein the escalating cost of same goods are beyond the reach of the common man today.

Thomthom:
Very correct. I served in Sokoto State that year, and my room mate and I will drop 4k each making it 8k. I will buy I bag of rice ₦7,600 the remaining 400 tfare. Nigeria was actually great then. But we no no

netmillionaires:

Nigeria was not great then.

It is just that when an economy becomes worse people always look back and call the old suffering days great days.

In some years to come people will look back and say "Haa! When a bag of rice was just #75,000. When Nigeria was great" forgetting that people were suffering and complaining then.

Alliswell248:


Show us the one of 2011 too.

Cry cry boy

Successlane:

In 1999, a bag of rice in Nigeria typically cost between N2,000 and N2,500

So sad even the overall sum here as bad as it has gone can't buy even a bag of rice today.

'Racoonous' racoon we don hear ooo. Shebi some purportedly printed N30T and we were all silent.

It will favour me and my family.

madridguy:
Baba Buhari major blunder is trying to help our local farmers. The criminals sees his genuine policy as a great opportunity to cash out too and we suddenly found ourselves in this mess.

The criminals will hoard their harvest, create artificial scarcity, sell to neighboring countries and still come back here to get free fertilizer from the FG.

Ogurube:
What a shame!
OBIDIENTS saw this coming and warned y’all.

A big shame to all you impoverished mo’fvckers who ignorantly got bribed to vote Buhari and Tinubu only to suffer under their selected government.
A bigger shame to all you educated fools who wickedly did same and are now shuffering and shmiling.
The biggest shame go to most Nigerians who easily forgive and forget the trespasses of these losers ruining Nigeria.

Buhari started the destruction and instead of the drug man to learn from buhari's cluelessness, he came and buried the carcasses left.
APC is something that shouldn't have happened to humanity. Useless people

DeepSight:


With due respect, you are normalizing the ridiculous infaltion of the last few years.

netmillionaires:

Not really. The hardship is everywhere and we are all angry. But that when "Nigeria was still great" is something I always find funny. We forget our suffering too fast in Nigeria.

Back in 1994, I was very young but could remember how we used to go pack sawdust at sawmills to make Abacha stoves because kerosene was unaffordable. I bet a bag of rice wouldn't be more than #1000 back then. But today someone will bring out a 1994 price list and say "Haaa! When Nigeria was still great."

Great is relative.
