Mention 5 things that was there in your country 10 years back that isn’t here now?

Taking my mine back to the past, there are some things that I can remember that were 10 years back. These include the following:

  1. Looking at these brand of cars, beetle and pigeout 404. These cars were the car use by president in does days but now it is no more there. In does days if anyone drive that kind of car the person is said to have money, but now, if am to say, most people has not remembered that these kind of cars ever existed at all.

  2. tax and exchange Calculator

Is the value of currency used in your country appreciating or depreciating?

The value of currency used In my country is depreciating. Money In my country, Nigeria, has no value. More money is chasing few goods. Prices of things keep skyrocketing on daily basis.

Deliberate on the prices of 5 commodities in your country 10 years back and now.

Commodities

  1. Patrol: 10 years back it was ₦145, now ₦700
  2. Indomie (super pack): 10 years back it was ₦80, now ₦550
  3. Egg: 10 years back it was ₦30, now ₦150
  4. Beans: 10 years back it was ₦50, now ₦320
  5. Hitarget wrapper: 10 years back it was ₦2200, now ₦13000

Has these changes affected you? If yes, how. If no, tell us your secrets

Yes ooo it has affected me and everyone in my country. And if anyone in my country says that it has not affected him or her it a lie. It may affect them directly or indirectly.

The changes affected my choice of food, clothes. There is some restrictions on places I would like to go because of high cost of transportation. Businesses are not functioning as there is no customer to service.
However, through faith in God, the heat is less. I have been able to make some necessary adjustment. I have also sought for alternatives. Thanks to Steemit. Through it I can increase my earnings to meet the demands of today.

I love to invite @bessie2023, @chiomzy810 and @emmaboy23 to participate in this contest
