Dude am glad you have the knowlege now...Just know your "needs" from your "wants". Am an M.A student. I only depend on my Freelance Job. But I find myself most time comfortable with 10k for the month. If I can you should ok? Soup does nt actually take too much money. Unless u aren't Nigerian but am sure 700 can cook u a soup that cud last for 2-3days.the remaing 300 go for garri. Cook soup at least once a week. Then Beans. I don't do rice because I hate it with so much passion. Don't be extravagant. Goodluck.

I take umbrage at this insensitive comment. angry

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 your mouth? Perhaps you were clutching it in your 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!

Hey Bro why the insult the dude was only speaking the truth.its just an advice to the prospective parents to be.stop using harsh words and stop drawing attention it ain't called for.everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.you are really childish.How old are you if I may ask[color=#006600]

You must be lucky. Very lucky indeed.
I pray you do not experience what WILL make you learn how to manage a ''whopping'' N10,000 plus provisions in a month....hardcore poverty.
You better wise up and appreciate what you have.

This is the formula:
1.You have to discipline yourself to eat at most, 2 times in a day.
2.Buy raw rice, beans, ground pepper, palm oil, garri, curry, thyme,salt and groundnut(cooking) oil and possibly 1 or 2 tubers of yam
3.Since you have provisions, a little tea/coffee in the morning should be able to carry you till 11a.m-12noon before you eat your first meal for the day i.e. BRUNCH.
4.You have to master how to cook and eat Rice CONCOTION and Beans blended with garri ( the everlasting, ever sustaining recipe) for your brunch. Make sure you have some as leftover for dinner in the evening.
5.It is better you eat beans for your brunch because it can sustain you for longer hours. You should always try to have some remaining in the pot when you come back from lectures in the evening....you eat that, and then prepare the alternate dish against the following morning.
6.Don't indulge in the attitude of buying soft drinks and snacks anyhow. Avoid them if you know that your finances will be affected.
7.Avoid the tendency of trying to spend too much on clothes or social functions or girls.

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.

o boy u b confirm guy, dat mak me remember my undergraduate days...

I hope this help?

Lol , it's enough for an undergrad , I lived on far less during my time ( adjusted for inflation ) and I never lacked. His primary aim in school is to get good grades and learn to subsist in life.

I get you. But to get good grades, he needs to sustain himself with even the most basic of human needs. And he would even need to save for unforeseen expenses. Let's just say I don't believe N10k is workable. lipsrsealed

Re: Please I Need Suggestion On How To Manage 10k A Month As An Undergraduate. by stechi(m): 3:18pm On Nov 11, 2014
While I tend to believe that 10k is meagre for an entire monthly spending, I appeal that a Plan B source of income be put in place to augument whatever you are getting from your parents/guardian (Plan A).
When I was a student, that was when GSM started and thank God I had a family friend that owns ECONET major distributorship in Uyo who gave me umbrella,table and chair to start making phone calls on Ikpa Road (I am sure the OPs knows the road because I attended same school), and gradually I managed the business myself before I employed a sales girl. Thereafter, I gradually got myself involved in other petty businesses that did not affect my studies because I had made up my mind to finish along with others that got same admission with me (except for the usual ASUU strike that culminated to 1yr[6mnths,3mnths and 3mnths]).
Bottomline, is that when you think of where you are coming from and focused to change your situation for good, you would be moved to do an extra to become extraordinary from others.
My signature below is an opportunity for you to start-off a Plan B means of residual income without affecting your studies a bit, so that sooner than you realise, you would come back and tell us you comfortably spend more than 10k weekly (not monthly anymore).

Others: Interested, and need more info,send me a mail through my profile.

Re: Please I Need Suggestion On How To Manage 10k A Month As An Undergraduate. by handie(m): 7:27pm On Nov 11, 2014
dude, back in my first year, I received not more than 7k on the average per month and I was doing ok. The secret? Don't buy any luxurious item that you don't need. cook your food yourself and Don't eat out unless maybe school stress is too much. I've even seen people who don't receive any allowance and still survive in school. Right now, my allowance per month is just a little over that 10k and honestly, I live well. Learn how to flash and not make calls every time, don't go after girls and don't compare yourself with your mates.
