migeoart:
Nigeria my great country

Just look like my mom's hand writing.

please what kind of a gift can one get a newly wed couple?

Budget is 80k naira.

migeoart:
Nigeria my great country

Either you mum was a teacher or you dad a headmaster.
Not as sweet as having an organised couple

Immediately I saw KEY SOAP, I knew the list is from a senior citizen, not this generation.

That soap then

When the Going Was Good!

hmmm...ok...has it bn dfft with other countries or what?

Flight ticket from Ilorin to kaduna in 1984 was forty naira. N40.

Let's even forget about provision for Mama, N10,000 can't buy all the items listed in that list today but see the value of what N100 did in 1984.

The worst thing is that the "MAN" in 1984 is still the "MAN" in 2021

It is well with us in Nigeria

The generals ruined the country so much.
From January 1, 1984 - May 29, 2007, the generals ruled nigeria for twenty three years.
They could not add just one megawatts of electricity in those years..

Ogunleti01:
Nigga its like you are from Barbados! Alarifin onibaje!

What does that mean?

there was a country, pocket money even join still small rubbers remain, now you no even use #100 buy ordinary tea condiments, even to soak rich garri with #100 no work self. abeg make them sell this country give everybody their share jare..

Some people are even defending failure this administration A disaster that gave us consistent double digits inflations 16.96 and 15.90 compare 2015 price with 2020 price something that as never happened in the history of Nigeria the Naira inflation rate is close to 2000% over the period of 20 year no countries as ever experience this type of inflation

Salary is slashed decreased worst government in history of Nigeria

BMC are paid to deceive Nigerians Nigeria is doing well, Buhari and APC has further united us, crime rate reduced drastically, our economy is blossoming, corruption is almost at zero, those who ran to greener pastures are rushing back. Inflation and unemployment rate is almost zero. Lets appreciate buhari.

I just watched a video of how China govt took China from a third world to the second biggest economy in 30years the largest population in the world ooo but in Nigeria in 5 years our economy was distroyed , foreign reserves depleted and economy suffering hyper inflation with more people sliding into poverty

Hmm, 37yearx ago, my mum is 4yearx older than that list... Why was i even borned a nigerian... That list need to be in museum for proper save guading

Wow! 84??

This should be kept in the museum for the up and coming generation to learn about the economy of NIgeria of yesteryears.

Definitely.

It is well with our dear country Nigeria. I don't think 10K can even buy those stuff now in Lagos.

10k you say? 30k can't buy what on that list in Lagos of today.

Mynd44 if I give you 1k now will you be able to help me buy all those things today and also bring back my change?

This is so acurate

Remember coke was 0.50k before moving to 1.50k

Even then thiings were considered expenxsive.
The kunu drinking bastard was in power then

I don't think this is 1984.

migeoart:
Nigeria my great country

this is fake. Made up piece

Stewart883:
Wait are you sure that was 1984? Because I remember buying peak milk in 1991 @4 naira.

Or was that a big tin of powdered milk? Coz I see 7 naira plus on that list

Buhari was in power then so things were "expensive"

Draslo:
Your momsi mouth go sweet o. Na so so sugar full everywhere.


On a more serious note, guys, change remain o.

Baking + Home use

BlessedNuel:

I don't think 10K can even buy those stuff now in Lagos.

you saw tins of bournvita, milk, meat, dried fish, modules of rice, packets of Omo detergents, beans tin tomatoes etc and you're mentioning 10000. Even 100000 won't do. And there was even 6naira change

Well, then dollar was $1 to #0.765. So #94 of 1984 should be between #46999 (official rate) or #57748 (parallel market rate) in 2021.

Themarkethere:
Even the handwriting speak of the joy wey dey Nigeria then.

100naira with value worth of purchase that is almost going into extinction today, bought foodstuff, provisions and provided for mama's pocket money yet there was almost 6naira to rollover.

How does a child and mother experience so wide a gap in life sight that it feels like it happened two centuries before the child was born?

80 naira, not 100 naira. She gave her mum 20 naira

Was the colonization a bad thing afterwards?

Independent now seems like it was the bad thing

KunleAkingbadeh:
Buhari was the President then, and he is still the President now.

it was few months after he overthrew the civilian government. Infact the listed spending showed that things have started degenerating from then, hence he was booted out in 1985

BlessedNuel:

things had gone bad then sef. It was the period of Austerity Measure. In 1980, all those things would have like N40
