Shopping list made in 1984 leave Nigerians in shock
The list was dated August 8, 1984 and the items it purchased included foodstuff and washing soaps.
The most expensive item on the list was labelled “Mama” and N20 was allocated to it. Thus was followed by yam, which was N14.
At the end of the list, some change was left, as the spender only made use of N94.70k.

@Anyanwu Loveth: “As if is easy to make hundred naira then”
@Ashley Ngozi: “100 naira can not even buy anything in this list now”
