This is how I have been coping.

I'm a student of a government owned school in Kogi state while I reside in Benin. When going to school, I pack as many food stuffs as possible, as in, I carry anything carry-able; rice, beans, eggs, indomine, cream, gum, toothpick, super glue, pen, writing books, e.tc.

Normally, I break my trip; Benin - Auchi - Okene before the last bus to my school to save some change on transportation, but with the many foodstuff I use a direct bus and pay some change for the loads.

When I get to school, I don't buy anything I don't need, apart from fresh tomatoes, fresh fish, and red paper I have all the required items to make soap and stew. I eat twice a day, at times, just once before I go to sleep. Not like I don't wanna cook, but some times, I have GSTs courses in the morning (I leave my lodge very early to secure front seat) and core course ends by 6PM or 7PM. I spent money mostly on water as they lack water here, a keg goes for 20Naira to 30Naira. Also, my house is VERY from school and my friends who should normally come to eat at my place at times gets discourage by the long distance. Most importantly, I'm single and not searching. Ladies could be crazy, they beg for anything like paying their photocopy fee and many more, for me, I don't give money out unless when the person in question deserves it.

I hope this help?

@ Poster, u did'nt state your proximity to school either off or on campus, neither if u usually return 2 school with foodstuffs besides beverages(provisions).Anyways,the best way to make do with this amount in a month & even save from it, is to ensure u get enough assorted foodstuffs to cover every category of meal u desire for that semester before returning to school,so that the 10k allowance can only be used to cover a few necessities & contigencies.On a side note,u need to augment ur allowance by making an extra income through some small-scale businesses like sale of recharge cards,typing assignments/term papers,projects etc for students if u have a PC and printer, also, doing assignments for indolent students & equally keeping urself busy atimes in any legitimate bussiness during holiday periods.U don't really have to be so dependent on ur parents,for the fact that u have 3 other siblings should sound a note of encouragement to wake up.

@Op, You just have a wicked parents!!! imaging 10k a month in this 10 miserable k, you type your assignments from em , barbe your hair, buy kerosene to cook your beans as suggested by some people above me and some other things students do in school. my candid advise leave school and go learn handiwork til your parents increase your allowances to 15k.

Did it cross your mind that the OP may be an orphan?

That is exactly wat i do too. I even take cooked soup and stew wit me & i spend about 5k a month. Less sometimes.

Sell powerbanks to your fellow students and staffs after lecture hours and make about 100k monthly profit. So you won't need to cut down on anything... Call or whatsapp me on 08033863100 if your interested

nitlad:


I take umbrage at this insensitive comment.

It peeves me no end when indigent hillbillies from firewood and akamu background go about deriding others like say dem dey mint money for dian crevice.

Were you born with a silver spoon in you mouth? Perhaps you were clutching it in you hand?

Do your parents give you $10m/day as pocket money?

Are you an only child?

The OP is only asking for how best to utilize what his parents give him, or does he come across to you like a person not being taken care of?

If you cannot answer all the above in the affirmative, then it's better you keep schtum and keep your 'family planning' counsel to yourself. You unprivileged epitome of misfortune and penury!

....God bless u...all dese kind ppl wit dia "poverty-coated" lives... u tell am well...once again,u are blessed

braine:
Buy beans, plenty beans, and gaRri. And reduce spending to a max of 400 per day for whatever you need to get. Also, stay away from girls. You'll be fine.

Ordinary calculation, u no fit do

Deiok:
Bros try and reduce your three square meal a day to twice a day. Buy enough garri down, so you will only need to buy beans #50 or with meat #100 to suppliment your normal daily meals.

hahahahahahahaha...

Oga, I just rounded up the shii. Didn't you see the "max" in my post? Read well next time.

To cut the gist short, there are still husbands and fathers making ends meet with a monthly payment of less than 10. So you have every juice to manage it if compared to them.
.
You not married
You not paying rent (I guess)
You not fueling cars
You not paying bills
You not raising kids

Hints:
all you need is a proper feeding mapped out plan with feeding time table.
Try as much to reduce miscellaneous spending
Also make sure after planning you still have change in case
Wld advice you buy a lot of raw rations also (avoid ijekujé)
No chicks
No chicks
No bottles
Fear God in all.
NB : GIVERS NEVER LACK

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

bros thanks dat advice z 4 me 2

On a further note,u could engage in laundry bussiness,draw ur clientelle from lecturers,bankers & people in the corporate world,I bet u'll be thankful.If u stay off campus,the best for u.Increase ur customer base by charging a bit less than what is charged from open laundromats & ensure u deliver quality & timely service.U'll be glad u did.

Don't move with gals,stick to little food,try buying cheap clothes and don't always move with friends...everything will b fine

I love Nairalanders, they will advice you to an extent you will forget about your problem which is reality. My guy wake up and face your reality. If 10k nor reach u for ur upkeeps ask for more from were it's coming from or simply try and hustle in skul or catch one maga to dey assist u. You guys giving him lame advice since like buy garri n beans plenty, una want am to die of Malnutrition

OP, nah diz kine babe we deh warn u about

i hope your brain is working. it's your type that will carry 5 thousand and send your children off to school to live off on other students, prostitute and hickjack student phones and laptop just to survive. A guy here was trying to advocate for couples having lesser children that they can cater for, another guy who wants to form james bond shut him up just to gather likes. You and I know there's big different between delusion and reality. A man births 10 children knowing fully well the condition of this country, just believing that his rich brother will cater for them. Issorait!
I only feel for these guys whenever i sight. you see a student who alternates only 3 pairs of shirts for a whole academic session, then you wonder if they have a family. Some even smell as there's not as much as a toothpaste. I'm sure the OP has tried managing this 10k and it has proved virtually impossible he had to ask for help. Tufia!
