Nigeria is just a word. Not a geographical entity. A collapsed con3. So why compare life of the 80s to a collapsed Nigeria? |

In as much as inflation has hit Nigeria so bad. This is applicable to so many developed countries in the world. From an economist point of view, how much was the salary then? Maybe N700, how much is salary today?? My point is, salary structure also changed. I mean, no graduate earns N700 as monthly salary today. Same way the price of flight ticket from the U.S back then to Africa used to be $150-$288, today, its around $1,000-1400. Inflation has been hitting the world and not just Nigeria, yes, Nigeria might have it rough than others and might have it better than some other nations. To effectively calculate it and determine how bad it is, economist will try to convert that money to how much it is worth in todays market. And compare the percentage in inflation. You could rent an apartment for $120 in Newyork in the 60s, $120 wont even pay your agreement fee today in Newyork. So before you bash Nigeria, know that this is a global phenomenon. And for the record, N100 was a lot of money back then. That is some families monthly salary back then. 10 Likes |

I can relate with bread at N2.10k. By this time, it was even going out of reach of common man. And this was cos of the disastrous economic policies of General Buhari who was then head of state. Before he came to power, same bread was sold for N0.50k. By the time he was leaving office in 1985, same bread was going for around N4.50k |
