Price of a Mercedes Benz car that was bought in 1975...wow!

In 1975, this guy's dad bought a Mercedes Benz for N5,000. In 2015, N5k can't do much for you! Hmmm

    Wat was d population of Nigeria in 1975? 95 percent of dis blog visitors and even dis blog owner were not born then. Nigeria passport was visa free to most countries. Oil wad booming and inflation was not there and at that time we were much more our brothers keeper and capitalism hs not eaten deep into our psyche as it is now.
