I witnessed an argument today, someone was saying it is still possible to feed well with just "1000 naira" for a whole day in present day Nigeria, i was wondering if this is true so instead of drinking beer this weekend we might just feed 20 nairalanders that really need it?

#700 will do.

For a whole day? How?

lolz.... nobody tell me to start cooking soup until I started yesterday when my money keep decreasing on top food

Very well i can use 1000 for a whole day and d next morning.

For a whole day? How?

Fish-300
Oil-50
Crayfish-50
Thickner nd pepper-50
Maggi nd onion-50
Leaf-50
,Garri -150

Thats if u eat light nd live alone.

A plate of food can go as low as #250(even lower in some places), so if the person eats thrice at #250, that's #750 with #250 change

Yes it can, I had to work on my car at a mechanic village, I was hungry and was led to a shanty restaurant, a plate of food sells for N300 with 2 skinny meat, I asked for extra meats, with a bottle of coke, but I couldn't finish the whole meal, I spent N500.

Lots of times what we pay for at these porche restaurants are overhead costs.

Madam, how did you arrive at 50 for onion and Maggi together. Thickener and pepper 50. You sure you cook?
The last time I bought onion, the least amount was 50 naira and it was 2 tiny(very small) looking onions. The least you can get for pepper too is 50 naira.


Op, 1k is enough for a day. A plate of food(mama put) is 300 naira. If you eat 3 times, that's 900. The remaining 100 should be enough for sachet water.

Oga last I checked, onion is been sold for #20, 4 cubes of maggi is #20 too.
A lil garri can serve as thickner or u buy a thickner of #30 nd u dnt need to put all.
Least for fresh pepper is #50, nd d dry one #20.

Any other kwesion?

Reduce your food portions generally.
Reduce your meat to one piece, take 100 naira rice, either beans or plantain 50naira (not the 2 together), and stop taking maltina. Continue with your salad, and alternate beans with dodo 50 naira on different days. Carry your own water in a bottle everywhere you go.
That's trying to eat healthier.
Nothing to do with how much is in your pocket o.

A cup of beans (derica) #300
Ripe plantain #200
Onion #50
Crayfish #50
Palm oil #50
And you have yourself a pot of good food for the whole day, plus change just in case you need to buy anything else...

I doubt this.
You mean cooking or just buying the meals?

[quote author=beautyhd post=67817140][/quote]Go to the market... I mean a real market, they'll sell to you no matter how small

[quote author=beautyhd post=67817140][/quote]

Sure! With a pot of stew/soup of 1000( or less, you can feed for 3 days). The only problem though is having to eat the same soup/stew for days.

You are right about overhead cost.

Food: Rice and Spaghetti concoction
Duration: 1week+
Amount: N1000
De-rica rice N250
Spaghetti N200
Sachet oil N50
Grounded pepper N50
Tomatoe paste N50
Maggi N50
Salt N50
Onions N50
Sardine or Eja kika or Kpomo N250

Food: Beans Porridge
Duration: 1week+
2 De-rica beans N400
Pepper N50
Onions N50
Salt N50
Crayfish N50
Palm oil N100
Ijebu garri half paint N200
Sugar sachet N100

Efo Riro

Eja kika N200
Salt N50
Palm oil N100
Maggi N50

Onions N50
Crayfish N50
Half paint of garri N200

And so many other meals could be made with N1000 that would last between 3days to 1week,depending on how you eat.

All the calculations so far seem to assume, unconsciously albeit, that kerosine is free, or perhaps still, that kerosine is a self provident constant as far as cooking in Nigeria is concerned.
