Just look at the quality of lamba being shared.

Even if I give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it was true, then this guy should hold his dad responsible for flexing thousands of pounds flying every weekend to the UK to party.

Not sure how APC can be blamed for his father's financial recklessness.

It's a massive lie though.

The very first sign of decline was in 2006 if I recall, when Soludo devalued the naira. I remember that well because I was buying a ride and that drop in value pushed me from a 2005 model to a 2003 model. I was cussing Soludo not knowing what else was in store. Up to that point naira was n100 or so to the dollar.

There has been a decline in value of naira right from then.

There was another sharp decline in 2012 or 13, not sure. Then it was Okonjo iweala who did it. That was the first loss in our company's history. Because they imported product with forex and were paid in naira (subsidy). So the entire downstream majors lost money that year.

I don't travel, but I do order stuff so I am acutely aware when there is a sharp devaluation because conversion costs pass my threshold and I say this can't work again

Monerozzi no dey see this one, na to dey get high on Soludo professorship be him own MO

I'm sure a dollar was 50 bucks in 99 because I remember going to change that money with my dad in Pen Cinema before we travelled that summer. I think 50 bucks might have been our max currency at the time because that's all my dad had in his envelope.

Other than that, the whole conversion conversation passed me by until 06 funnily enough, when I was going to university and I think GBP was circa N150. School fees per year then was 3k, which back then wasn't thaat far from what private universities were collecting. I think we paid 250k for my first year in uni in 2004...then I got expelled.

So if CBN hasn't directed it, why banks dey dispense old notes and where soludo from get him own memo?

E go likely be Kia, dat era people dey buy freshly made brand new Kia like it was nothing.

Nigeria has gotten progressively worse over the years, but I think the worst phase of the economic decline has come during this Buhari/APC era.

Remember I posted here the other day that CBN informed the banks they won't be getting as much money as they were getting before. The result is what we are experiencing now.

I guess we just have to wait for Tinubu. I do not see any respite in sight till May

A brand new Kia picanto in 2006/2007 was 900k-1m

At the time, no one buys accidented cars from US. If you're buying a Tokunbo, it's coming with very low mileage and in a solid state. I remember the man I used to work with buying a 2003 pathfinder from US and the only time he visited a mechanic workshop in the three years I was with him was to fix an exhaust leakage.

These days you buy a tokunbo car and start spending money on it from day one because dealers have to buy the very worst of them from US at a cheap price to make profit.

You don't know how good those times were

Buharis misguided customs duty hikes and the value of naira mean it is the same cars we were buying then, that people are buying now.

1m in 2006 was still A LOT of money.

I don't remember seeing many new cars on the road on those days either. Banks were the ones that mostly bought cars for their staff back then. Even yahoo boys on that era were buying pencil light camry from like 01/02. Not bad, but certainly not flash.

nihilistjnr:


I think a lot of people are misremembering that era.

I served in 08 on 35k salary and 15k alawee, commuting from agege to the Island for a year. It was pretty grim.

I was offered a 100k salary to be retained, and it was so shït that my dad put me on 80k salary for a few months until I figured out what I wanted to do with my life. By 2010 I was back in the UK working my first proper job in IT support for £12 an hour.

I don't understand what kind of reminiscing those guys are reminiscing on that thread, as I'm pretty sure BA return ticket to Heathrow back then was circa 250-300k, at a time when minimum wage was like 5 or 6k, and a very good guy man salary was 100k a month. From what I recall 200k was approaching middle management salary, and 500k was ED renumeration.

So flight ticket still cost the typical guy close to thrice his monthly salary. I might be misremembering, but I do not recall this land of milk and honey those people on that thread are reminiscing of.

Ekasan sir

Just don't sit in your mechanic workshop. You will see wonders of Nigerian engineering.

E pass accidented. Cars that are not road worthy, salvage cars. Broken crumple zones. Severed frame. They will weld it together and may God have mercy on your soul and limbs if you are in a head on collision

It wasn't for mending anybody in the bush.

Ive said the story before. Its in my old diary sef.I got expelled for attending a party on the island and some random dude from my uni just fell and died. Worst part was that I was too busy smoking in Kuramo to actually attend the party, so technically I'm innocent.

RIP kuramo beach.

Sorry man - it must have been traumatic. The ensuing police wahala. The time behind the counter or in the cell proper with actual hardened customers.

Police love that kain thing. death . young boys having fun. Let the exploitation begin. When we had a death on our site the police first arrested the contractor whose guy died.

The contractor no send the guy there. No one knew what that guy was doing there. No work scheduled there. They sha hold the guy. And the guy was Stone broke at the time. We had to assemble 300k to bail him out and continue his nightmare from outside cell.

Actually not really. There were quite a few of us that caught the short end of that particular stick, for that particular party, including a sitting (at the time) governor's son.

I was 16 or 17 at the time so my life hadn't even started. My parents know that their son loves a party, so they weren't surprised I'd snuck out of school to attend one, and knew if that dude hadn't died, I wouldn't have been expelled.

My mum made a token attempt at rehabilitation by sending me to bible school whilst i was sat at home, but after throwing a house party to celebrate graduation from bible school, I think she gave up finally.

This case is like that of a friend that slept off while watching mojo, the mama caught am
Everyday after school the guy will resume with pastor for special deliverance but i guess holy spirit they select body to enter because this guy presently is a cultist and correct igbo smoker.
