Receipt cost of renting hall in 2011

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had posted an old receipt, which showed the cost of renting a hall in 2011.

The man said he had found the receipt in one of the books he bought in 2011, which he has not touched for over a decade.

He stated that they paid N6k to use the hall that could take 150 people, adding that they had to contribute to raise the money. He wondered how children of this age would understand that a hall cost N6k in 2011.
