Bros, for where you dey see a kilo of chicken for 800 naira and that of Turkey for 900 naira.

For herehere, it's 1000 and 1100 respectively o.

And the crayfish you even mentioned is more expensive than that Titus you talked about.

I think he is talking of 3 to 4 months ago

N500 can cook a decent soup, pepper and tomato are cheap at the moment.
It is very possible to buy pepper+ tomato+onion+grinding for N200 or 250 (depends on your bargaining skills). N50 worth of Palm oil is measured with Goya olive oil bottle, yes there is dried fish worth N100, Ugwu N50, Egusi N50 or 100. Soup is ready.

PaperLace:

wow... kilo of chicken @ 800, Turkey @ 900?
It's N1000 and N1100 here.

I think 'OK soup' is subjective. There are definitely people surviving on N500 soup, how they do it is what I don't know. Na them suppose be Minister of Finance not Aunty Kemi. angry
.

Its straight forward bro. The country's situation isn't laughin, so one gotta adjust. Charles Darwin said * The strongest specie is the one that can respond to change. I cook soup with #500, at times, I don't spend all the h self. This regime is how it is but kinda teaching.

Re: 8 Things N500 Cannot Buy Anymore by mengho(m): 11:26pm On Sep 10, 2016
op were in d world do you live, the most expensive hair cut is like 3oo naira with gen, if nepa bring light it won't even pass 150, And I prepare a very good stew with meat for like 500 naira, by d way I usaully buy seasonings,rice, indomie, beans & all other small household things in large bulks when the year begins costs atleast 69k altogether but it's a good thing since it lasts atleast 1.5 years b4 I do it again. I just hope it won't be above 100k next year due to inflation.

No need for chickens, I own a bird's farm. Things are such cheap in d rural areas it's just baffles me how people just want to live in large cities were even a bag of pure water is almost 200 naira as opposed to the 60-70 naira we enjoy here. Chai north dey sweat woh
