3 years ago, I was in Aba working in a primary school. My salary was 10k and still yet, they were owing me multiple months. A day came and I had no penny and no food except garri. I stayed throughout the whole day without putting food in my mouth. Night came and I couldn't sleep. I had to start chewing the garri like that. The next day, I took my bath, feeling a little stronger, I started to trek to the school where I was teaching. It was a 30 minute walk from my house. I didn't even walk up to 2 minutes when I started feeling as if the breeze that was blowing would blow me away. I just turned back home and called in sick. Looking back, I just remember and smile. 19 Likes |

Ive almost eaten grass.I remember one day there was no hope for food but they shared food in my church I ate the whole food licked the plate clean and ate the chicken including the bone.It remained small that I would have eaten the pack.Ive also eaten rice with palm oil, yam with butter.When I did A level hunger also wired me to the extent of using indomie seasoning as Maggi for my concoction rice.I just thank God I didn't steal.Suffering is not good.Right now I know things are not rosy for me but I know with God and time things will. 30 Likes |

Back then in school, A female lecturer of mine always brought her daughter to school sometimes, and This girl liked me a lot but i didn't know. After our first quiz, your boy didn't write shit. That course, Jurisprudence. Fear that course oh...... well, I had to reciprocate so i would get tips on topics to focus on for exam and quizzes. It was weird how we started but it's not anymore. ________________________ Why are folks on here saying shit about food? give us the real gist. like who you did runs,G or did the other one, what is it called again? 12 Likes |

I survived during a very tough period by attending the receptions after inaugural lectures and on Saturdays..weddings and burials where I pack enough drinks sometimes a dozen or more to last me through out the week. Saturdays thanks to the uninvited wedding receptions are the only time I get to eat meat and something decent.I was masters students then in 2016.Thank God I am no more in that level 17 Likes |

I went through university without parents.While in school, I used to borrow money from friends and add to the one I have, travel back to my base in lag and then go from there to cotonou to buy wares and sell to boutiques in lag. I also used to do tutorials in school and for those who are doing distance learning in foreign school. Was so bad that I used to maintain a 1-0-1 feeding regimen in school. Sometimes,especially when it is nearing the end of a semester this will even become 0-1-0 with a heavy meal in the afternoon.I stayed with a friend so we can share the bunk cost for the hostel. Resumed semesters late most times cos of hustling in lag. Meanwhile , i schooled in the most academically demanding school in nigeria. I couldnt buy handouts as I always collected to make copies coa of the cost. My paternal uncles abandoned me and even a more senior cousin that lives in the US that sent me my school fees for the first two years stopped because she said I was living that engineering was a five year course and that it was three years. Maternal uncles will take turns to send me 5k in a semester of 3 months or more. All these taught me a lesson: There is no excuse for failure. 31 Likes 2 Shares |

Lol ... Mine was in 200 level second semester o, I live alone I don't have a roomate, I was fucking broke to the extent that I can't afford 10 naira pure water. Thanksfully, I had a carton of indomie wey I even forget say I get sef, I hate indomie, but I usually buy it just incase .... So I ate indomie for 1 whole week ... I even missed lectures, because I'm an introvert and I hate begging , my lodge sef come dey very far from my school, it's not trekkable at all. Mehn!!! I wonder how my lodge girls dey manage to get foodstuffs o even when every where don Red .Them go dey buy sharwama, chicken, and other stuffs. Maybe, it's because they Don't eat too much like guys. Or their rich boy friends dey give Dem money. 8 Likes |

I drank garri to the extent that my urine reeks of it. Before eating any food, I'll first of all drink garri so as to fill my stomach make I fit belle full after eating. The only time I get to eat good food was when I visit female hostels under the guise of 'checking up on them'. Undergraduate dey suffer o. Popsy sends only 5K monthly, after that, you're on your own. The only time I wore nice clothes to lecture hall, someone asked me if I'm going for a party. Just imagine! Nobody advise me before I begin dey teach in far away Ondo State just to get little something. It's the anger that made me not to do my Masters immediately after graduation. That suffer too much! A decision I'm still proud of till today... To all the hustlers in the building, never give up. Your breakthrough is just around the corner. 17 Likes 1 Share |
