you only eat once a day?

you don't eat meat, or fish, or egg ?

I'm guessing you are living in an extremely rural area, that's the only explanation,

1 mudu of rice is like 800 here, you must be really eating tasteless food or lot of Maggi, im not even trying to be insensitive here I'm just trying to understand,

rice beans, potatoes is your only diet all week? no vegetables, ? ah I pity your immune system oo you are drinking tap water all the time too, if you can fall sick once like this na gbege oo

country hard for all of us sha, but if you really get by like this kudos to you then oo

Dammit, that's not even up to $6. How can a human survive on that once a week and not look malnourished? Nigerians are really poor. Instead of demanding better from their elected leaders, they prefer to fight each other and adjust more to the suffering, just like this OP is doing.

Dat #50 for chelsea match you for use am play chelsea straight win

You forgot costs for the cooking with gas cooker or cooking with kerosene.

Bro, you have time to explain o.

My weekly expenditure is not specific/fixed, some weeks I don't spend up to 3k, other weeks I spend times 10 of that or more and so on.

If you want to yab me, go on and do that but note, my business monthly inflow is many people's(more than 50% of Nigerians) financial prayer point target(point of contact).

That's all I can say on this.

I commented on a thread yesterday that was about how much that can last someone through the week, I posted that I can manage 3k for a week and I was literary dragged and trolled through the thread. Some accused me of lying while some said I still live with my parents, others saw my post as a scheme to accrue favour from people.

I never wanted to open a thread about this, but as God would have it, he blessed me ( Not from that thread) through Nairaland best roofer and known philanthropist @ money121 and @despian that sent me something to help with my school project. I managed to squeeze out a little money and branch to the market to get some food stuffs. Below is a detail of how I spent 3k on food stuffs that would last me a week.

Rice 1 mudu(8 cups) : #600
Beans 1 mudu(8 cups) : #900
Potato : #500
1/2 bottle of palm oil : #400( I add just enough to colour the food)
1 packet of maggi : #250
Powder pepper :#100
Onions :#100
Airtime :#100
Total :#2950
The remaining #50 is for Chelsea match later in the evening.

While I didn't make this post to glorify poverty but it seems some people are oblivious to the situation of things in the country at the moment. Apparently the hardship levels is skewed, based on the values that people were quoting on that thread. While some food stuffs are at a premium at the moment, there are some of us that cut our suit according to our ankara.

Next is how I manage the foodstuff to last me a week in no particular order.

Day one: Rice and beans
Day two: beans and potatoes
Day three: only Rice
Day four: porridge potatoes
Day five : only beans
Day six: Rice and beans
Day seven: potatoes and oil
Fortunately the stomach does not disclose its contents.

I iterate through the list during the week, I spend only #100 on airtime during the week. I don't call any body and spend #25 daily for 250 mb night sub which I use to apply for jobs. I wait for the following week when it gets exhausted.
I use salt as makeshift paste and patronize Hausa black soap for bathing.
I've my faze cap to conceal my overgrown hair, though my lord luggard esque moustache have a way of bringing my legs outside.
I fetch well water, boil and sieve it, in that way home made Eva water is set, who knows I might own a pure water factory in future so I'm practicing now.

It's a popular opinion on nairaland and the country in general that most Nigerian girls are useless and are out to bring nothing but misfortune and misery to our lives. I beg to disagree because the ones around me (mom, siblings and gf) are anything but useless.

My current girlfriend is a frugal spender and taught me how to spend prudently. She taught me how to cook thereby cutting the amount I spend on food to a significant level. I can give her just #1500 and she would prepare two pots of stew and soup to last me a week. Like my Oga @chatinet would say there are still women that can go to the market with 3k and come back with two nylons.

While other nairalanders open thread open threads about their parasitic girlfriends, mine is actually helping me through a difficult phase in my life.
Sadly despite my pitiful standard of living, I still have people that I'm better than and see me as a senior man. Its that bad.

I'm not comfortable with my condition so I'm looking for jobs so as to improve my standard of living. My fellow nairalanders help me to start eating with meat by offering my any job available. I'm a graduate of Statistics/Computer Science (bsc ed) and a web developer.

So the doubting Thomas's here's a breakdown of my 3k weekly spending.

You have a very bright and rewarding future ahead of you Supreme.
Just focus on your studies now and keep being humble the way you are.
Things will fall in pleasant places for you pretty soon.
Some of us lived this same way while in school many years ago.
But now, God has been so good to us all.
It will all end in praise for you.


BTW,
CHELSEA for Life.
Atleast our Club winning that match should let you sleep with a smile on your face

GO AND SUCCEED.

This is like eating once a day and you also have enuf time to cook for yourself.

Kinda like want to ask why ur gf taught you how to cook instead of do the cooking but I think I shud mind my business sha.

Pls, my brother do much more for yourself than cooking and applying for jobs at midnight. You don't have to continue managing. The future holds nothing but dreams except you really push yourself out there.

How far shey na firewood you dey use cook?

Of all the important things to buy, why would you buy a packet of maggi? eh nnaa?

You didn't add cost of gas per week

8cups of rice #600, beans #900 still e shock me I seriously need to relocate to where ever you are staying. You really dey enjoy Nigeria!

Is this even possible?
Wait, is the 3k the total amount you spend for food alone or it's for total expenses for the whole week?

I spend almost 22k weekly on food and fuel, and it's still not enough. Man, APC really wrecked this country.
I wonder how APC still have supporters in this country.

I commented on a thread yesterday that was about how much that can last someone through the week, I posted that I can manage 3k for a week and I was literary dragged and trolled through the thread. Some accused me of lying while some said I still live with my parents, others saw my post as a scheme to accrue favour from people.

I never wanted to open a thread about this, but as God would have it, he blessed me ( Not from that thread) through Nairaland best roofer and known philanthropist @ money121 and @despian that sent me something to help with my school project. I managed to squeeze out a little money and branch to the market to get some food stuffs. Below is a detail of how I spent 3k on food stuffs that would last me a week.

Rice 1 mudu(8 cups) : #600
Beans 1 mudu(8 cups) : #900
Potato : #500
1/2 bottle of palm oil : #400( I add just enough to colour the food)
1 packet of maggi : #250
Powder pepper :#100
Onions :#100
Airtime :#100
Total :#2950
The remaining #50 is for Chelsea match later in the evening.

While I didn't make this post to glorify poverty but it seems some people are oblivious to the situation of things in the country at the moment. Apparently the hardship levels is skewed, based on the values that people were quoting on that thread. While some food stuffs are at a premium at the moment, there are some of us that cut our suit according to our ankara.

Next is how I manage the foodstuff to last me a week in no particular order.

Day one: Rice and beans
Day two: beans and potatoes
Day three: only Rice
Day four: porridge potatoes
Day five : only beans
Day six: Rice and beans
Day seven: potatoes and oil
Fortunately the stomach does not disclose its contents.

I iterate through the list during the week, I spend only #100 on airtime during the week. I don't call any body and spend #25 daily for 250 mb night sub which I use to apply for jobs. I wait for the following week when it gets exhausted.
I use salt as makeshift paste and patronize Hausa black soap for bathing.
I've my faze cap to conceal my overgrown hair, though my lord luggard esque moustache have a way of bringing my legs outside.
I fetch well water, boil and sieve it, in that way home made Eva water is set, who knows I might own a pure water factory in future so I'm practicing now.

It's a popular opinion on nairaland and the country in general that most Nigerian girls are useless and are out to bring nothing but misfortune and misery to our lives. I beg to disagree because the ones around me (mom, siblings and gf) are anything but useless.

My current girlfriend is a frugal spender and taught me how to spend prudently. She taught me how to cook thereby cutting the amount I spend on food to a significant level. I can give her just #1500 and she would prepare two pots of stew and soup to last me a week. Like my Oga @chatinet would say there are still women that can go to the market with 3k and come back with two nylons.

While other nairalanders open thread open threads about their parasitic girlfriends, mine is actually helping me through a difficult phase in my life.
Sadly despite my pitiful standard of living, I still have people that I'm better than and see me as a senior man. Its that bad.

I'm not comfortable with my condition so I'm looking for jobs so as to improve my standard of living. My fellow nairalanders help me to start eating with meat by offering my any job available. I'm a graduate of Statistics/Computer Science (bsc ed) and a web developer.

So the doubting Thomas's here's a breakdown of my 3k weekly spending.

Modified: Obviously some people are still doubting my credibility. I stay in north bank, Makurdi Benue State for those asking.

This is what they call, serious poverty......this country is finished......

May God continue bless my wife, who always give food to kids begging around ozumba , VI , every morning.........lots of nigerians are seriously suffering.....

FuckAllTheMODs:
Bro, you have time to explain o.

My weekly expenditure is not specific/fixed, some weeks I don't spend up to 3k, other weeks I spend times 10 of that or more and so on.

If you want to yab me, go on and do that but note, my business monthly inflow is many people's(more than 50% of Nigerians) financial prayer point target(point of contact).

That's all I can say on this.

You dey mind them.. Even who still dey eat his or her mum food,still dey challenge op

If you have been to any northern state you won't argue this.... If your buying rice 1k a cup in your location doesn't mean it's same every.

Op is � correct. I was expecting beans to be cheaper than that.
