First, you are a wise man.....you need help and you are looking for it. You will do well!

Secondly....here is a recipe on how to cook soup... Download and print( the beauty of internet...in my day...the internet cafe was the only sauce).

Third...as a student....you may have to allow the soup last more than 3 days...warm it up every day.(But make una no let am reach five days o!)

Buy wholesale instead of retail... Don't buy more than your capacity, buy what you need, stop thinking you need this, you need that in the name of 10k

10'k a Month = 333 Naira a Day.


Now you need to ask yourself what would you do if your 'daily allowance' was 300 Naira a day..

I would advice you either go with the cheapest staple food option of Garri and sugar or you cook a decent sized pot of soup and stew with 5000 Naira (consisting of the cheapest ingredients you can find) and eat them over a stretch of time only mixing it with your provision.

The remaining 5000 Naira you would have to manage with care for other things like..

Recharge cards
Transportation
Toileteries
and miscellenous (Printing, stationery, e.t.c)


It would take extreme Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) but its doable.

Goodluck.

The Gods are wise...

To imagine what people pass through just to go to school and yet millions come out unemployed for years and those who manage to get jobs are being owed salaries or have corrupt, pot bellied, rotund bosses. WHAT A LIFE. Keep the fight going bro. Some families survive on 10k a month, so.. it's not inconceivable. Make it work! And make sure you are not just going to school, but also getting an education

In the good old days....when there were less than 80,000 University students nationwide....they were all fed in school. (My dad recalls how they gave them bread with butter in the mornings.). In fact, you really did not need the pocket money sometimes!

Now....with over 1.5million students,and a poor education budget.....

Buy a paint container of bean; less than 1k, Buy 1 or 2 paint container of garri depending on your consumption level;also less than 1k, buy a small keg of palm oil;250 naira, buy 100 naira maggi, 50 naira salt, 100 naira grounded pepper, 100 naira measured sugar and finally 3 litre kerosine. At least, this will settle ur feeding 4 dat month. Try and walk most distances instead of spending on transport and cut down miscellaneous costs. In fact, u'll even have savings at the end of the month

uglyogre:

babe or no babe, 10k is just too small for a student to spend in a month!
@ OP,i understand not all fingers are equal, so if that is the best ur parent can afford, then pls manage it. You can start by selling recharge card in your hall of residence and your department. That way, you have a source of renewable resource to last you for a month. it aint easy but you'll sail through.You can also try yemiplus2 advice. All the best
Crap...no even try dat recharge card,,,if u aint investing anytin 4rm 100k upwards, its as gud as u allowing ur money 2 sleep in d bank, than putting ur hopes in 2-5naira gain u wud get by investing change.

Ogar mi, u av 2 try as much as possible 2 manage it. I av a frnd here in skul who receive 2k every month some times with little or no fud stuff @ all. At times a month over lapse b4 he gets anoda moni. Wat helps him is dat here in Yoruba u can cuk soup with a litle moni as #150.

I personally receive 10k and i make judicious use of it n still av a balance of 3k left. We buy 1 bag of pure water evry wk. I keep my calabar soup as long as 5 to 6 days n still eat it.
We dont pay transport around, we prefer 2 trek as it is part of exercise. I eat twice , some times once.
We don't av gal frnds bc here people do party evryday n u knw wat dat means.
Some of my frnds book all dis chicken legs n head frm hotels around, we call it spare part.
Just try, if u can survive it, u wud av alot of story 2 tell.

Hmm, na wa o.

First, as a student you have to learn to cook. Then you have to get a table top fridge and a "I pass my neighbour". Why do I say this?

Cooking saves you a lot of cash. You can make soup that will last you 2 weeks with 2k.

Meat: 1 kilo: 1000
Egusi: 2 cups: 200
Pepper: 50
Crayfish: 50
Vegetable: 100
Palm oil: 240 for half a bottle which will last you long. You can also use this to eat yam once in a while.
Maggi: 10
Stock fish (wrapped): 200 (I consider this a luxury though but you can add it).
Garri: 1 mudu: 150 (3 mudus can last you a month)

TOTAL: 2,000

Alternate it with yam and palm oil and fried egg. Occasionally, fry plantain and add to rice and stew. Stew can also be made with even less than 2k. You can also make beans and drink gari with it. You should be very dexterious and learn how to plan your feeding which as a student, is your most important expense. You need a well nourished body to withstand the rigors of studying.

This your concept of not eating soup that has lasted more than 2 days is ridiculous. I had a roommate who used to cook soup that will last 2 weeks and he did not have a fridge. Today he is a Member of the House of Reps (2 terms). You should also learn how to cook.


Suffer initially, enjoy later. All of us passed through this stage and I schooled in a town where I had no relations. There was nothing like GSM, online banking or emails/internet in my era, so if your money ran out, the only solution was to travel home to get it. Yet I survived just like everyone else of that era did.

You just have to manage... No show-offs
I have this room mate that spends anyhow.. She squanders her money anyhow..she eats everything she wants the first three days her money comes and after that, she starts asking for pepper,salt,etc
You don't have to be like that....manage very well and have savings...you can opt to save 1K every month and I tell you bro,you will be investing big time....just learn to manage without prying into the person 'who cooks with goat meat or chicken' business

That's not the situation, our government is just plain wicked and stupid. I learned from my India friends, that EVERY student (from UG to post-doctoral student) in their government universities is paid scholarship every month. They also cook for them and house them too. That's also a third world country of about 1.3 billion people. We don't have any excuse.
