It a throwback Thursday so I feel like I should take us back to the days.Going through my phone gallery I saw some pictures of old things that we've lost 😔and it a pity that the advancement in some other hand has really gone badly 😢. I see that although then in the 80s and 90s there are still some things that some people can't afford eventhough to us of these new age the highest money then is just a change to us.
A friend to my uncle sent us this picture of what 100 naira can buy in 1984 and I was so amazed because today 100naira can't even buy more than bread on that list and the bread is only for one person and the person might not even be satisfied. I checked the list and I saw that changes as really come in and it really very bad on how our economy as inflated so far.
I didn't say there shouldn't be improvement but at least not to affect the citizens of the country. Now things you can afford as a average earner in 2005,only if you've improvise in your skills would you be able to afford those things now. For instance, in 1984 rice was #3.60k and I'm sure it a congo or even more 😀but now a congo of Rice is #850 even in some part of the country it is #900/1000. I check the list and saw OMO as #4.50k for 6 and now that 6 is around #900 haaaaa ayé le o.
I don't know what year this might be but I can say eventhough to us now it cheap to travel then but to them not all can afford the #17,430 flight to New York. I check online to know the amount to board a plane to New York now and I was amazed that the cheapest price is #216,871.04,what a country. I wish things are still the same way they are but technology as make us all forget 😪we can all help ourselves than make things hard. Vegetables that is even p our own local food is expensive,how?
All this domination of money then can buy things then and even collect change after but now,especially #5 is so useless and even scarce to see because there is nothing you can buy with it apart from only one particular sweet called baba dudu.
I so much love this gum then and I can't do a day without chewing it. Now it no where to be found 😕😢😔.
You see this lantern 🏮 haaaaa I can never forget all the beaten I received from my dad just because I do break the egg (as it called). Whenever I'm asked to clean it then I'm always careful though but I don't know why at the end I will just crack and it is finish, my dad will beat shegay out of my body.
Well I live in the barracks while growing and thanks to God my dad was able to afford a black and white TV 📺 then so we don't have to go to neighbour's window to watch television 🙃. I know of some family who couldn't afford it so their children goes to their neighbour's house and if not allowed to enter they will go to the window and watch from there 😢.
Anybody that owns this car or even tortoise car then is a very rich person. It a good thing we are advancing in some ways but on the other hand it having too much effect on almost 90% citizens.
I rest my case want to go back to sleep before going to work.
