Then, how many people can afford to even have 100 naira then?

At that time, 100 naira is equivalent to £150.

Shagari was in power then and things are very difficult.

In the early 80s, 100 naira could buy 200 meals in UNN refectory or the refectory of any federal university.

Muhammadu Buhari changed all that, after he became Head of State by the end of 1983 through a coup.
