mrvitalis: I actually cross-checked, and the minimum wage in Nigeria was 60 naira in 1975. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=21105454922e231e&rlz=1CDGOYI_enGB1064GB1071&hl=en-GB&sxsrf=ACQVn08At-xjP-VLvfgv3jktgzXsWvcBGg:1710330930394&q=Nigerian+minimum+wage+in+1975+per+month&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjWtbecl_GEAxWHQ0EAHacdA9cQ1QJ6BAgxEAI&biw=375&bih=553&dpr=2 Also, that Peugeot 504 was made in Nigeria. That’s why it cost only 1,500 naira. Innoson’s cheapest car cost around 7 million naira, so your 30 million naira figure for a brand new car is wrong and dishonest. You need to apologise to forumers for your disinformation. https://www.tekedia.com/innoson-vehicle-motors-brand-photos-with-prices/ 5 Likes 2 Shares |

In 1977 my Dad bought a brand New Volvo 244DL from RT Briscoe for N7,777. Sold our VW Beetle car to our church member for N900 and also a brand new Peugeot 404 pickup for my mum's business at about N4000. In 1979 my secondary school boarding fees was N60 per term and you could eat 3 meals a day for about 3months. In 1985 I could spend N20 pocket money for a week on university campus for meals that cost N1 per plate so approximately 3meals x 7days would be N21 but by the 6th or 7th day I would get another N20 from my dad to carry on the eating. Anything I needed to do was left for me from that same money so if I wanted a haircut, mineral or bread, a new pair of jeans which was also about N1 it was up to my sense of opportunity cost. But It was about the value of the Naira to the dollar which is presumed stable till today. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

seborrhic:Very retarded people How much was the car in France then and how much is it now? This comparison makes no sense. It's like saying in football, back pass was allowed then, but no longer allowed now. There's no VAR then, but now available. As times changes and technology evolves, price would go up https://www.ooyyo.com/france/c=CDA31D7114D2854F111BFB6FBAF0355BFCB71D6617F286/5052728130397141284.html/ That's the current price now in France.

seborrhic: minimum wage was 60 naira per month while a Pegeout 504 was 1500. this means you can use two years of your minimum wage salary to buy a car today minimum wage is 30,000 while the equivalent car costs 30,000,000 meaning it would take you 83 years of your minimum wage salary to buy a car. your purchasing power parity today is a mess. We are orders of magnitude poorer 1 Like |

The devaluation started with Babangida SFEM policy. Second tier Foreign Exchange Market. Yes. There was a gradual devaluation before Babangida jargon of economics policy, but the real point of no return started with sfem. My father bought a Peugeot 505GL at the cost of #6,000 ( six thousand naira only) in the year 1985. Bought a Bedford lorry 5 tons at the cost of #11,000 the same year. I can categorically remember my father and his friends saying that the vehicles are now costlier than they expected. Now in Nigeria,what can we do with any amount up to 999,000 naira? I just believed that life was much more easier then. Hope is not lost Life continues Work hard Try to meet up God bless our hustling |

mrvitalis:You do not need to waste your time on that guy. As a kid, we went with a relative who was a salary earner and bought a Beetle Ijapa car. 3k. Since we paid cash, we even got an extra tyre (a second new tyre) and a gallon of oil thrown in. Long after 1975 o. Remember that by 1975, there was even a bit of inflation due to Udoji award that increased money in worker's pockets since a couple of years earlier. 1 Like |
