The trending words in the country now is Shege Banza Pro Max.

And for good reason too.

The price of virtually everything has gone up.

From food...

To transportation...

To house rent...

To school fees...

and other basic necessities of life.

So, you certainly have reasons to be extremely worried about the present trending shege banza pro max.

If so, how can you overcome the present hardship in the country and take adequate care of your family?

Here are 13 ways to reduce the effect of the choking shege banza pro max and provide adequately for your family.

1. Sell Your Car


People do not usually think of the cost of maintenance when they are buying cars.

What they only think of is the class status and prestige that the car will give to them.

Then within a few years or even months they find too late that their cars are expensive to maintain.

The parts are not only expensive, but the car guzzles fuel like a thirsty giraffe.

But, all hope is not lost.

If you have a car that is expensive to maintain and guzzles fuel like no man’s business…

SELL IT[.

And use the money to start a small business for your wife or fiance.

2. Buy A Smaller Car Or Motorcycle

After selling your car or if you never had one, you can explore the option of buying a smaller car.

When thinking of a car to buy, 2 major things to take into consideration are as follows:

i) Ready availability and cost of spare parts

ii) The fuel consumption rate of the car per kilometer

Additionally, you can either buy a small fuel-efficient car with readily available less-expensive spares for personal use or for doing transportation business.

Brands like Toyota Camry, Toyota Sienna or Volkswagen Passat are fuel-efficient with the parts readily available and less expensive.

Depending on your financial capability, you may also consider buying a motorcycle to augment your fuel-efficient, easy-to-maintain car or for doing commercial transportation.

3. Avoid taking your car on long distance trips

Whenever possible, use public transportation for long distance trips, especially if it is only you that is involved.

Or, you may consider picking passengers along the way to augment your cost of fuel.

On the other hand...

If there are other people that are embarking with you on the journey and you feel it is cheaper to take your car, then by all means take your car.

4. Avoid spending unnecessarily on fuel

I believe this point is self-explanatory.

But for the sake of clarity, reduce the trips you embark with your car within the locality you reside.

Consequently, do all your shopping for your groceries close to your home.

You also want to do your laundry with a drycleaner that is nearby your residence.

Additionally, you want to patronize a Barbing or beauty salon that is close to your home to reduce your expenses on fuel.

5. Consider alternative source of power

Some people have begun converting their fuel generator to gas.

I do not think this is wise, due to safety reasons.

Therefore, consider other alternative sources of power like solar-powered or wind-powered electricity.

6. Withdraw your children from long distance schools

If your children are attending long distance schools and you are currently spending heavily on transportation…

Consider withdrawing them and putting them in nearby schools, especially if they are still in primary and secondary school.

7. Send money and foodstuffs to your children

Instead of having your children come home every time they run out of money…

Get them to open a bank account and send money to their accounts.

You can also waybill foodstuffs to them too when they run short of supplies…

Thereby saving money that would have been wasted on transportation to and fro your home just to replenish their foodstuffs and collect money from you.

8. Minimize your trips to your home if working long distance

If you work in a different place other than your place of residence, minimize your trips home to save cost of transportation.

Some people who work long distance come home twice every week.

This is not advisable due to the high cost of transportation these days.

Therefore, you can consider coming to your family once a week or once in two weeks.

Or, you may consider relocating them close to your place of work, if at all possible.

9. Avoid certain expensive foods

This may be very difficult for some people to do.

But, the current administration of Shege Banza Pro Max leaves us no choice.

For instance, the cost of bread has gone up beyond the reach of many people.

A large-sized bread now is not less than 1,300 naira in some places.

So, a family of 6 (husband, wife and 4 children) who desire to take bread as breakfast…

Would need at least 3,000 naira for them to satisfactorily take bread and tea for one meal.

The same thing goes for plantain too.

4 seeds in some places is now being sold for 1,000 naira and even more.

Therefore, you can consider alternatives like yam in place of bread and plantain.

10. Set up a business for your wife


The era of fulltime housewives is gone for good.

So, if your wife is not working or into any form of business…

Raise money and help her to start a small business to support your monthly income.

11. Do not marry a liability

If you are unmarried, do not marry a liability.

Ensure you get married to a woman who is working and earning salary or already has a trade she is into.

She may either be a tailor or fashion designer or a petty trader.

This is because a woman who is not into any form of business in her 20s, 30s or even 40s has been depending on men for money.

Women like that are SCARED, PROCRASTINATE and have generally become LAZY.

So, getting them to change their mindset and be self-dependent is a herculean task.

Take note though that some women’s orientation can be changed, but they are few in number.

12. Get a power bank

If you work online on the side or full-time, you will need steady power supply.

So, if you reside in an area where there is erratic power supply or none at all...

Get a power bank for your laptop and mobile phone to minimize the cost you spend on powering your generator.

13. Think of additional sources of income

Multiple sources of income has become a necessity nowadays…

Rather than the exception.

So, if you have just one source of income at the moment…

It is an ERROR.

So...

Find additional sources of income to augment your present monthly income.

That is the FIRST and MOST POWERFUL WAY to beat the present Shege Banza Pro Max.

With the high cost of products today, the people who are hardest hit are salary earners.

A business man or woman would usually sell his or her products at a higher amount than it was bought.

Hence, a business man or woman is not affected greatly by the situation because he or she would always make a profit.

So, if you are a salary earner who is dissatisfied with your present monthly income…

The sooner you get additional income streams to add to your salary, the better for your family.
