A recent research says that 15% of people will see something bad in everything one does or says.



No need asking if you are among the 15%.

A simple question deserves dis harsh response? I'll pass... i forgive u.

D reason i asked is becos d building is really big judging by d time dat currency was.
Nigeria should be more developed dan what it is now.
happy 16th birthday. 16? your face looks it though. Do not be bothered about the insults, Nairaland is a site where mad men and gentlemen alike can be found, so if you get quoted by the mad ones among them don't be perturbed.

Just post your opinion and give no fuc.k..s.

That Stamp was used in 1959 while the one pound was 1967.

From 1973 to 1978, 1 naira was valued at GB£6.50 (US$10.40).

Today, 2,068.56 naira is valued at GB£6.66 (US$10.40).

What a shame!
