ok. but you did not add the cost of the plantain flour and other things you eat the soup with

I have a land where it grows on its own , I don’t weed it , I just wait till is time and I harvest. Is literally not a farm, I guess the plantain was cultivated there before the land was bought.
I find someone to climb the fence and harvest the plantain ( trying to describe how bushy the grasses inside are)

Very right. It all depends on your standard of living and the quality of food you eat. I have foodstuffs already at home, so I usually do not have to spend much on cooking. I eat a whole lot, and with quality, I began to ask myself if I was spending too much on food with 10k a week.

When I was still buying food out, I could spend 20k a week because I prefer to eat three different course meals a day. I had to cut down on it thinking I spend too much on food and had to force myself to start cooking meals at home.

Oh well, for an unmarried young lady, that's a commendable measure of prudence. But quite honestly, when it comes to good food and fine wines, I don't consider any spending to be "exorbitant". Thinking about it, at the end of the day, the content of your stomach largely determines your health, carries you around for your daily struggles and is what you take to your grave. So what the hell?! Why not just eat as fancifully as your pockets and accounts can afford?!

It's always been my way of life. Don't exactly expect anyone out there to follow suit.

On another note, I like how you express words. No abbreviations, no visible errors and a fine array of wordplays. Very uncommon for a 21st century woman.

I swear if you can earn in $£€ and living in Africa, you have to be suffering from serious self esteem problems to now still want to relocate to
oyinbo countries.

Even if you are living in Nigeria and you are earning in $£€, and you were offered opportunity to relocate abroad for a better job, and you disregarded it, then you must love suffering.

What, with our infrastructural decay - no stable power supply, bad roads, no effective transportational facilities, no pipe borne water, e.t.c., coupled with pervasive insecurity and general lawlessness and a highly depressing environmental ambience. To top it off, watching helplessly a terribly bad and selfish government functionaries getting away with committing brazen larceny on the economic backbone of the country.
You must surely be affectionately attracted to hard life to decide to want to stay.

That means you will be spending around 30k in total per month (if we're to estimate the food stuffs you use). Considering 12k is for near, vegetables, and others.
Even less. I buy a full bag of rice and it lasts me a year.

My monthly budget for food is 12k. I always buy foodstuffs in bulk, so the 12k is just basically for meat, vegetables and other small expenses.

I buy a bag of rice for 25k, it lasts me for one year, the one paint rubber of beans for ₦2,300 every two months, 10 packs of pasta lasts me about four months. One carton of Gino tomato for around ₦4,200 lasts me for six months, other small cooking condiments can't be more than 3k. I also buy one paint rubber of garri for ₦900 each month.

Then I cook three soups and one stew per month, share them into five containers each and then put in the refrigerator.

If I eat outside honestly it won’t last two days. Cos if I go eatery , I’ll chop 5000 ( two chicken is 2400, rice 3 portion and platain/ moinmoin is 2k and I’ll buy water plus transport that’s 5k )

But if I go local buka, I will swallow (iyan) 4 is 800, I will buy ogunfe meat 1500 big one plus 500 naira meat
Plus bottle water and transport that’s 3500.


Then I will use 1500 chop meshai ( cook indomie for night )..
but if chop at home ( if soup Dey ) e fit reach 3 days. If soup no Dey na 2days I swear . But I spend less if my babe is around sha cos that one like to Dey cook it will take me 3days if she Dey around.

How am I suffering if I can afford a lifestyle 80% of people living abroad cannot afford because of the 1 to 700 exchange rate. If you are earning foreign currencies all this problems you highlighted will be mitigated or at least they become irrelevant. You lack exposure thinking living abroad means you have now a problem free life, just a different set of problems sometimes even worse. Money solves most problems humans encountered on a daily, living without money abroad is just as bad despite having 24hrs electricity. But I leave you to wallow in your self delusion of an utopia out there.

A week.

Or if I want to be frugal, a week and a day or 2 would do. And this goes only if I cook because I will have to repeat meals. I don't even know which is more economical - to cook or purchase food from eateries? Purchasing food from food stalls takes my vote. It's hard for me to cook with anything less than 5k.
