Mighty Joe, Notorious Nigerian Robber Executed In 1973 For Stealing ₦10
This photo and the story behind it literally had me in stitches.
Mighty Joe was an infamous robber that terrorised Nigeria back in the day.
To imagine he was publicly executed by law for stealing just ₦10 (Ten Naira), is hilarity personified.
That was when our money had major value, though.
Remember the Naira (₦) used to be equivalent to the Pound (£) before Babangida and his ilk made a mess of our notes (so I was told).
Sadly, today, people steal monies running into billions and no one dares move a finger or challenge them..
