Back then in my year 1 I ate bread morning afternoon night, it was the cheapest food as it was sold N10 per one. Garri and water preferably chilled. Sometimes with chilled mirinda.It got to the extent that they changed my name to bread. They complained I don't take the bread with tea and I lied that I am allergic to tea, that each time I drink tea, I vomit whatever I have taken. I maintained no tea stand throughout that 1st year. By 2nd year, I started cooking.

When I started cooking, my friend introduced me to meeting the buka ppl so they can keep the fish head for us. It was free then. They will pack these fish head for me and you need to perceive my stew . Choi. You will be salivating, without knowing na so so fish head full the stew. I can also eat beans for one week straight. I mess sotey I use mess wake my roommates for sleep. I was deep asleep and was unaware that mess was going on. They said that particular one was the 4th one and they couldn't endure it. Dem come dey smell our yansh ooo. I was banned from eating "agwa " in that room.


As I type this I am still laughing at what happened that night.

Blackbug:

Seriously man, you won’t be helping him?
Did you not read stories of people saying some other person came to their aid?
You are wicked. Shior. ’you Won’t be really helping him ‘

fuckingAyaya:

shugasofttouch:
Mine was being the only female bricklayer amongst men. I was teased and yabbed for being a BSc holder and being a bricklayer it was tough being a beautiful lady that I am doing such to make ends meet. it's not funny.

umtitibaba:
In life, there are moments we are faced with difficult situations with the sole aim of surviving hoping there will be light at the end of such circumstance..

Mine: it happened when I was I part 2 second semester, it was close to end of semester and there was no cash on me, no gas in my cylinder and I had to eat that night .... i had to Cook 'Eba' with normal water, ate with Palm oil sprinkled with salt.. imo that night bad gaaan....

So over to you guys, what Is the weirdest thing u have done to survive?

CloudWalker:

All of us here endured those tough times and suffer the indignities which obviously still leave a bad tastes in our mouths when remembered for us TO STAND ON OUR OWN TWO FEET'S without being a financial burden and nuisance to others. Begging is plucking a low hanging fruit, it is not dignifying.

placeofallure:
Maybe 100 level when I haven't understood the terrain very well. I remember I had to take only garri and milk for a whole week. Then, I lived alone. I had people I could ask for help but I really don't like doing that so I drank my garri morning, afternoon, night , 7 days with joy.
From my year 2 no more dull moments o! Those students who attend school at home and don't have to travel several miles, you don't know what you've got!

Bro you get long way to go 200l

Had same experience I did prescience (predegree) the hunger mad, during those time we lived on pear (UBE )..
100l everywhere soft. Collected times 2 of my tuition fee house rent so man was living lavida local. 200l matter change first semester it was that bad I had to depend on the food stuff momcy gave me, second semester matter change no food stuff I also didn't not visit home throughout I was part of the student that stay back after exam. I took cheap pills just to lock up stomach bro for one week I was on cheap pills.
E no easy. Untill story change finally, I used my 300l tuition fee open Cyber cafe inside school, man started living lavida local back.

School life for Naija no easy..

I can't forget this date : 10.11.12

I was a corps member serving in Ilorin and this particular month was a very long one as allawee no show on time and no shingbain for acct.

I and my roommate woke up this particular day (10.11.12) hungry and almost falling sick. We decided to go out and do whatever I took to get food. That's how we trekked to this construction site (now Kwara mall), met with one contractor fixing up one bank space (I think fidelity bank). We told him we were corps members and ready to do any job. Na so I do the kain labourer work I never do for my life. We were paid 1.5k each. The money sweet me cos na literally my sweat with beta body pain and headache.
Na so we first go chop very cheap mama put, download one bottle of gulder each, buy drugs for body pain, then enter market with the balance, shop for one week food.

I can't forget that unique date 10.11.12. It became my hustle code ever since.

KingAzubuike:

Oh so you're that corper boy that came to me to do some labor work at fate road when palms mall was still under construction. I remember you. I paid you 1500 each. How have you been?

heykims:
Surviving on mangoes when life was hard during my preclinical days, thank God it was in Ogbomoso where mangoes are very cheap.

McBrooklyn:


Lol virtual got you bruh.. Funny me ah dey chop dem like back to back then, so no regrets

KingAzubuike:

And now that you're in your clinicals?
