We that were born in the early 70s enjoyed naija small. So many young people nowadays have not seen this country good in their lifetime and so do not understand.
I was going through my documents the other day and found my passport as a kid. Look at the bta and how much naira exchanged to the pounds sterling, charges included.
Those were the days of British calidonia, Nigeria airways. Country was good. Nigeria passport was visa free to almost all countries of the world. Every holiday, nigerians enter "London" as we called it then.
Poor man's food was sardine and bread with chilled coke.

Better bread ooo,not this rubbish thing they are doing,wey small no come still get quality join am undecided

Them come still put the country for bubu hands, person wey him closeness with failure and badluck just be like celestial church own with candle undecided

It is not through. My father is 74 years old and usually tells us that we are really suffering these days. That things were far better in the 80's and 90's. There was a time he was working for 3 different companies in a day namely Dunlop, Guinness and Eleganza. A secondary school graduate was a hot cake then and things were really affordable so says my father. Master degree holders are roaming round the streets of the country in search of white collar job.

That is about 31yrs ago, right?
Keep your own today and let your children/grand-children also comment on it in the next 30 years, I am sure that your children/grand children will then claim that you enjoyed during your own time too

But their children were getting the value for the money spent in their tuition by their parents. But same can't be said for now.

No, it is not deterioration but a simple law of economics!
In the 80s and 90s, the average tuition in our universities was about 150naira and parents complained bitterly of the expensiveness and they want reduction, today the average fee paid in federal universities is around 100,000 naira and people are still paying it!

Our parents enjoyed a good life and that was one of the reason a lot them had the opportunity to build one or two houses

I remember when my dad was building our apartment in 2002, we bought cement for 1600, despite the fact that he was not earning enough, he still saved the money that enable him to build an apartment for himself.

Things have change in our own tenure, all we have left is increasing of price every single day,........ you will buy something today, the next day when you get to market, the price is rise

For your do build a 3bedroom apartment now, you will need up to 50bags of cement 50x4200 is almost 210,000 thousand naira

if you ever ask me if Nigeria will go back to those days of cement of 80naira

My Answer is HELL NO, Probably in my dream, even this days people don't dream about Nigeria going back to those days, they dream about the next days



50 bags cant do shit now...is it the foundation, moulding of blocks, plastering etc
God help us

Your father is very correct but how many people had University degree that time, "secondarians" were few in number that time, hence the demand, even a primary school graduate do get jobs that time!
As I said before, everything boils down to the laws of economics!

Bad governance seems to be increasing and that makes life a little harder! If not for bad governance, there would have been more companies around to provide employments and that would have equiped the people to cope with the situation of things.

Youghurt of 200 naira now was 1 naira


I remember cos I adored yoghurt back then in jss1 (1991) . My daily allowance then was 50k .. I had to wait around the icecream stand for another person that had 50k so that we can buy and split it in 2

In 1985 my transport from owerri to Lagos was 20 naira. I remember that day like my day of birth.

We were doing well before the Fulani Nigeria was installed but some are yet to see that a system inflicting deaths, famine, evil leaders, etc is a curse and must be thrown away.
