bigtt76: My parents bought their brand new beetle for 1600 naira in 1979.... He was earning roughly 2100 per year, while my mum earned roughly the same as a nurse.... Household income was over 4000 naira and they paid cash for the car.... Cost of living must have been cheap for them to save enough conveniently.... How many middle class family can pull such stunt now.... Your moniker suggest u grew up in the 80s.... Pls just ask the grown ups in the 70s and 80s.... Life was much better and convenient.... No comparison at all.... |

SIRTee15: Your write up makes sense, my dad was in the Navy from the eighties, according to him, his salary was practically bonus because they give them food and a lot of other stuffs, at the end of the day, his salary was used only for flexing cos other basics were already taken care of Even mumsie sef told me stories of their school days, they didn't have to buy school books cos ur seniors use am, you sef use am leave for another person and they were most likely more humane then, so ur parents stress on school utilities go reduce by gazzilions while they use salaries for better things But now.... Nna mehm, uwa bu pawpaw mehn, no yaw, I pity myself cos I don start to dey groom children 1 Like |
Re: Nigeria Passport In 1982 When $1164.84 Was N800 by bigtt76(f): 10:42pm On Jun 05, 2020 |
We are saying the same thing naa. Your parents earned cumulatively N4000 in a year and bought their beetle for N1600 cash. The passport pix posted showed someone purchasing dollar equivalent of N800... which means the person must have saved for a long time to get that N800. At N2100 a year means your dad was earning N175 per month (definitely not on minimum wage) how many people earned that back then? It would take that person close to 7-8 months to save up N800 except s/he earned more than N175 a month. I don't doubt things were cheaper then but for how many people? A beetle may have cost N1600 then how many people could afford it? That's my point SIRTee15: |

InvertedHammer:I might want to lash out at you for the unwarranted insult on my father and myself who have done nothing to you, but I’ll be the better man! If prices come down all well and good, but what it taught me was invest and try to grow beyond the pace of inflation. And I’m happy to say I’ve done that and not done too badly for myself by global standards. So if you want to spend your time moaning about the state of Nigeria, go right ahead. Fortunately I have gone beyond that!! |
Re: Nigeria Passport In 1982 When $1164.84 Was N800 by bigtt76(f): 10:46pm On Jun 05, 2020 |
Good so how long would it take him to save that N800 to buy the dollar equivalent? If he saves N40 per month, it will take him 20 months to save up N800 barring any emergency spending. Compare that to present day... We still have people who would need to save for same period just to afford the equivalent of the same amount today. So where does turning back the hand of time do for us? bandOFhorses: |

COMPAQ:/ I...I...I. Me...me...me. Myself...myself and myself. It doesn't matter if inflation is 10000% like in Zimbabwe. As long as COMPAQ is ok financially, the rest of humanity can go to hell. Listen to yourself. You are too selfish. You believe the economists checking inflation are morons. It all just have to be about you. / |

ednut1: BLAME IT ON NOLLYWOOD All their scripts are about someone getting married and is unable to have a child and the whole UMUADA and NDI' ICHIE will be on her case - then she starts vomiting to show she is pregnant - if she gives birth to a girl wahala - until she delivers twins oooo and they must be sons for peace to reign - NANSENSE WE SHOULD STOP ALL THIS BS - Nollywood script writers do not task their brains to write films that are though provoking - just some lazy stuff where unexplained wealth without work and marriage and children is the sole index of measuring success - THERE YOU GO! POPULATION EXPLOSION |

ahidjo:[color=#006600][/color] I don't really know the minimum wage then, though from my observation, the middle class at that time were able to afford a lot of things and life was good compared to now. The only people enjoying now are oil workers, politicans and those in IT sectors. But then an average Nigerian was not doing bad. |

The real issue is that our government don't plan ahead of time. What is the work of the office of statistics, is not not to project what is going to happen in a country even a decade ahead.the simple truth is that we don't have a government. |

OsuIgboIpob: Painful part is that they have successfully groomed some young fools who have the same ideologies as them. Them full Nairaland very well. You can easily know them by their tribalistic and imbecilic inputs here and there. Always thinking one way like zombies. Their cup go full now now |

bigtt76: No body is saying go back in time. We are saying learn from history. You are talking about the money equivalent and skipping the purchasing power and availability. He was doing a trade job then. It would be easy to get that 800, in that time in 6 months compared to now. I did not say he suffered to get the the 70 naira. I said that is his salary at that time which he was apparently comfortable with. |
