Are you aware you can cook sweet soup lasting 1 week with 1k?
See you ladies should bring this to men who don't know much about food, cooking and home management to get a chance to open office on top their head not well bred men that know everything.

Should I outline the ingredients and their current cost? Am ready.

Most people saying this doesn't have kids, wives nor husbands to carter for, so I wonder how they will know what's enough and what isn't. I am very prudent with spending but i spend above that too.


If that's the best he can do, then she need to get resourceful.

For Generator 5k monthly is enough for 2hours daily usually at night between 7pm-9pm or 8pm-10pm if you want to watch NTA news. Besides there are days when there will be light so more fuel left.

Outline your expenditure listing your weekly manicure and pedicure. If you tell yourself the truth you will know that there are some places you go where they charge you more than is nnormal just cos of your 'class' ish.

Braiding that would be like 2500 will be like 10k in some salons.

Actually I spend 1800 for braids, i pedicure and manicure myself .

You can increase it to 200k per month since you have too much money

Its not enough abeg.... Hmm... If the guy can't afford it ... Na management levels... But if he can.... Abeg abeg abeg abeg .... Let him bring sensible money for upkeep... Those children didn't come to suffer and its the parents responsibility to give them the best ..

while we are at that, she should get a job .. Business or something.. That is if she hasn't one already.



...and no more kids till her husband understands that 50 k ain't enough.

madam I guess 50k is what the hubby can afford for nw the woman should learn to manage and if dat is not enof then she should get somtin doing haba some woman just dnt want to stress they skin at all..

Fine that means you owe me change 700. Now what of the remaining 48,200 where does it go?

I typed that too @managing if that's what the husband can afford.

and getting a job or something to do.


what's the point if quoting me again?

Haba madam the most expensive sma is 2200/2400.......which sma u dey 3900 each?

Your baby is a year plus why cerelac and sma? Why not make grains powder and soya +groundnut and crayfish then add sma progress as milk...........all these won't cost you much.

So the woman has a 1-year-old-baby at home and people tell her to go to work or to start a business?

Exactly my thoughts too. It can never be enough with two kidS abeg. If she had just one kid, managable.

houz rent is not included in d 50k n she did not find abroad husband(according to u)cos d hubby was fully based in nigera when he married her

yes there is.d big SMA toddler wit green cover.as for givin only cerelac n SMA,she hav tried many cheaper options includin pap n even solid foods like rice etc but her baby would hav none of it.remember some baby r too choosy during weaning period.

50k is not enough but if it all the hubby can afford, then she should become resourceful and extra prudent.

Ditch her car till she is going to church;
Learn to braid her hair more often, invest in hand dryer and straightner so she can style her hair herself
Manage her tolietries to last longer/look for cheaper options
Be mindful of where she does her purchases especially of clothes and shoes

It is well

This money can be too much for some family
Might just be ok for some
And might not be enough for others

All na levels!

But if I can ask for more and get it, why won't I?

You see person wey go ever tell him oga say him salary too much

Imagine her talking of perfume and am sure it will be those of 5k she will buy only to complain its not enough. Oh indomie generation!

Exactly my anger as well... 70% of Nigerians earn less than 50k a month, check this with those in d payroll of most state governments and federal establishments. So how do these people survive?
She is wasteful

I was talking about cooking from scratch without any condiments at home whatsoever.

Diapers, wipes, fuel, baby food, drugs, house food, kid's 'munchables', fruits, miscellaneous .

You seem to know so much about your friend
Well I dnt knw ur friend but am very sure she is not really searching for a job
When last did she send her CV out
How has she been searching?by telling uncles and aunties?
How many CVs does she send out daily

Exclusive of house rent and fees. Feeding and all other expenses for a whole month.

Wasteful? You are kidding, right? Infact, I commend her. She's a very good manager. I have been wondering how she does it with 50k monthly. Children are not adults o! There are times you cook and what they want is something else. What about snacks and buying the food stuff in bulk? Some of these government workers you mentioned have customers for almost all household items where they can take things on credit pending when they get paid. (My neighbour told me this) Like I said, if its just one child and she's complaining, I would say she's a careless spender but not in this case.

Be kind enough to outline their prices.
Our parents raise some of us and were themselves raised on far less.
Are you telling me there are people whose monthly salary is not 20k and are happily married? Its all about adjustments.

Verily verily I say unto you that family cannot finish a 50kg bag of rice in 3 months.
Oh you even know about buying food in bulk?
A 50kg bag of rice shouldn't be more than 15k depending on brand. Like I said before 5k is more than enough to cook soup for 1 month.
As for children not liking what you give them, it simply means they are not hungry or you are too soft. I have seen where my sister-in-law is feeding my nephew. The little boy will be crying and she will be stucking pap into his mouth notwithstanding.He didn't die, on the contrary he grew fatter as a result of the feeding.
As for snacks you simply fry yam or prepare something and put in their food flasks. I haven't seen anybody that died for not taking snacks. Our parents knew nothing about snacks in their times. If you must buy snacks buy it say a carton of biscuit will last for a term besides all these sugary tins are not good for kids.

Its a pity most women these days enter marriage knowing little or nothing.

It is obvious you know everything. Did you say 5k can cook soup for one month? With or without meat/fish or what? Its so easy for you to say because you are a man and I'm sure you don't go to the market. Abeg, I don't have energy 4 arguement this morning joor. When you marry, give her 10k for 2months and even expect some change self. Women enter marriage without know what it is? Na your future wife I pity pass. What a mentality!quote author=Fxwarrior post=27244763]

Fxwarrior, who buys the rice, yam, beans, garri, fish, palm oil, v.oil, drinking water, dstv subscription? Who? Abi you don't know its the same 50k that would do all these? Please, you must not comment if you don't know how these things work. Experienced people are telling you this money is small and yor still insisting on what you know nothing about. We are talking qaulity not quantity abeg.
