mariahAngel:@mariahAngel, Indeed, nicely put. Folks who are creative thinkers should look for problems in the larger society and then monetize the solutions to a large, targeted audience. No need to reinvent the wheel... Just do it! 2 Likes 1 Share |

I used to travel to London Heathrow in the early 80s with about N200 (two hundred naira something). I can't remember the actual amount, but it was not up to N300 (three hundred naira) for a return ticket with Nigeria Airways. |

ThierryJay: The minimum wage was 125 in 1981. Airfare to London, economy class by British Caledonian/British airways/Nigeria airways roved around 879 naira. It was much easier or affordable to travel as there were different packages for adults/students and children. So you only needed approximately 6 times your salary to purchase your air ticket. And by the way, that minimum wage had value, unlike what you find today. You could with just one naira, get a loaf of bread/eggs/ororo/cubed sugar/canned milk/tea bag, with change for your breakfast. You could enjoy your favourite cow tail pepper soup for one naira and your Gulder/star beer for 90 kobo. Life was far better. IBB/Buhari and their group brought this country to its knees systematically from Dec 31 1983, till May 29, 1999. 1 Like 1 Share |

fijihems: As a student you could up to 1984. Buhari and his group ruined it all. Visa was issued on arrival in London. IBB ruined it as visa before departure commenced in 1986. |

guys,naira is loosin value true....but to think its the worst is wrong.... their are still currencies around much weaker than the naira today.... you can either buckle up and get back to work or stay lazy and watch it devalue more.... |

I travelled with student's ticket with Nigeria Airways to London Heathrow for one hundred and something naira in the 80s for a return ticket. There was no need for an entry visa to visit the UK. Visa was issued at the airport on arrival. All that was required was to show the immigration authorities that you have some money for shopping. Usually £200 was sufficient. £200 was equal to N200 by then. See where we are today. |

If 1 Naira was equal to 1 dollars then, that means the present ticket rate is cheaper. |

tommy589:I disagree with you dear. That fair wasn't in the 90's. The picture taken looks exactly what happend in the mid 70's. The luggage attendants were putting on Shorts like the Police of that era. Life wasn't easy the way some people do say it as if those days was really "good old days" Food was scarce and money was extremely difficult to get. There were few opportunities and multidimensional poverty was all across the land. I speak from experience of that time because I was there. No one should ever wish to go back to those days because it wasn't so pleasant at all. Today we can be what we want to be, drive the car you want drive, wear the most expensive cloths and eat well..it wasn't so many years back. Today is better. Thanks to Globalisation and Technological advancement. |

adolfHitler1934: Those two pictures are not related. Where do you see government officials wearing shorts in the 70s? Check 1974 Gowon hosting of Ahidjo or any other foreign dignitaries on youtube and see if there is any policeman on shorts I don't know your personal experience,but what part of Nigeria were you living in the mid 70s to have experienced hunger. We are talking of petrol dollar Nigeria or is it another one. Is it Nigeria with food roster for those living in the city,that you go a week without eating same food twice. We were average,I still remember how we sliced bread from night till dawn in preparation for my sister's birthday in '76. And had to throw it away with sardines sauce spread on it when we heard of deaths caused by sardines consumption. It was not verified,but cartons of unopened sardines had to go too. |
