Apologize:
Me and my Guy go baff on a Saturday..Wear clothe. Mostly Native, we go waka waka waka dey find where we go see wedding to attend.

I thank God say I don't stop that shit. The loss of respect wey I suffer ehn especially when I jamb people wey sabi me. NEVER let people know you are struggling they will be repulsed. Fake it till you make it

I have been reading how Garri has been saving lives on this thread.

I think the Federal Government should dedicate a day for garri as 'Garri Day' in this country because it has been saving lives from time memorial.

I trust the Chinese...they would have done such instead. Imagine celebrating Penis Day.

I pray that God almighty will bless us abundantly.

Ate fufu with the aroma of my neighbors soup for complete 3 days.

My broda, schooling here is hell for those struggling financially. What I passed through during my UG is a story to tell to my grand children. OAU is damn stressful.

OAU too. My eye see. You know about inaugural Na and weddings behind banking area or Ogunbanjo hall

I think drinking water from a well

My brother I drank yellow garri without salt or sugar for four consecutive days. School life na wa oh


There was this time when we were battling water scarcity, I used the last water I had to wash the last yam I had, used the water I used in washing the yam to cook the yam and also the water for cooking the yam for washing the plates.. I cannot forget that experience

Don't be broke please

IamDavid:
Didn't eat all day. I wasn't fasting. Was just feeling too proud to ask for anything from anybody. Not even my parents which was an irony because I didn't know they already sent 10k earlier that day. I realized around 11pm, I just said lemme check my balance at an ATM... I found an eatery as late as it was on oau campus then... I ate with an exciting anger lol

The late eatery could be as he dey hot. Or Aluta market depending on when you graduated

Worked in a pure water factory and I was paid #200 for a whole night then

Una own Nur even worst

How about foolish me dat gave a girl name mercy my last 500

Used well water to drink garri...

I never ever drink water unless it's purewater.

It was my lowest.

Surviving corona virus now....loss of taste and smell for like two weeks....happy after self isolation recovering back....but its not easy...stay safe everyone as we struggle to meet our daily needs. Thank God for life.

I used omo to shower for days.
I could remember when I had no foodstuff or money on me and I wanted to cook beans. The only thing I had then was salt and water. That was how I borrowed every other ingredients from my friends that day. One of the advantages of living in the Hostel.
There was a time I had to go to school without eating any food from the previous day. I used hunger to trek to school and back again. Wasn't a funny experience I tell you! That's why it's very important to keep female friends; their cup never runs dry in school!

CloudWalker:

OAU too. My eye see. You know about inaugural Na and weddings behind banking area or Ogunbanjo hall

Sure, those were saving grace. You have the opportunity to eat balance diet

diziki:



Yours was better. I faced worse during my time. I boiled rice and used palm oil as stew, ate bread with soaked garri, ate yam with no sauce but I thank God that today things are better.

A friend was so broke,he ate garri (eba) with raw tin tomatoes .Later in the day he started vomiting and was rushed to the hospital, on getting there the first thing the doctor asked was what he ate ,my friend replied and told him he ate idomie and chicken.We laughed and people around wondered why we could laugh at that critical time

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?

In my year 1, I had about N500 with me, my last card, no allowance yet, no helper...die hard broke. I just arrange myself and stepped out of the hostel, I saw a woman selling avocado pears at a very affordable price and I bought N200, bought garri N100 and sachet water . I had N200 left Incase of emergency pending when my allowance will come towards the next weekend. Ladies and gentlemen, I drank garri and pear for like 3 days until one of my roommates came and collected the spoon from me to taste the combo and was like “ why do you like this pear and garri so much, let me taste it”.....I just smiled weirdly and said I loved it cos it was my favorite (favorite bawo? Me that hunger want to kill).Later that day I just took my card and went to the ATM to check if I would see any money, low and behold, 12k was in my account (the first cut of my allowance). I was happy so I called my dad to thank him and ask when he sent the money, he said he sent it days ago but didn’t bother to call me...I was speechless. I just ran to buy chicken and plaintain, to replenish the lost nutrients in my body.
Another one was when I went for Saturday fixed class by one old “wicked “professor in my 300l . After 3 hours lecture he gave us 1 hour to go out for lunch, everybody went out and I was the only one in class with him. He later noticed me and called me, he asked me why i didn’t go out. I told him I had nothing on me to eat so what was the essence of going out. He asked what I wanted to eat and how much it would cost, I told him N300, this man removed N1000 to give to me but told me to bring back his change on N500 . I told him ok, I left and went to eat, on my way back to class I heard he had dismissed the class so I went to his office to give him the balance. I saw him outside and he said he wanted to see if I was a sincere person, he told me to keep the balance and that was it. I stopped seeing him as a wicked lecturer from that day.

I just thank God for life sha, I de sell gala and Lacasera for 2 years just to eat and de okay

Zeuslord:
mine was during my ND last semester. you know how project supervisors will just keep calculating all the offenses you committed until you jam them during your last project.
This particular lecturer kept I and my group in school till even our last exam.By then money was now an alien to me and my roomie. So one babe just dash us rice and small condiment to arrange it, but unfortunately we had just 2 sachets of water and about 3 cup of water (was not neat O).
we just decided to manage it like that.As we just put the rice on the fire ,environment just changed and it started raining ooo, my roomie without thinking twice just threw away the remaining water (not neat).
unfortunately and regrettably, just as he was about putting the bucket to fetch some good water na, The rain stopped immediately. we had no other choice but to eat the semi-cooked rice like that.

when village people saw how quick their work is

*From the client*
I need a highly responsible female tutor to guide and assist my kids with their weekly online school work, complete class exercises and turn them in when due.

The school usually sends weekly time table with classroom work, videos, sometimes links to YouTube to watch specific videos, and assignments to work on and turn in on due dates.

Major channel is Google classroom and some times its live ....

Their rules from school are very stringent as I would say they show some consideration for parents some what.

Unfortunately, you may wake up in the money and notice that your belongings are gone of your monies ....
Then you could have decided to look for an arm robber and sleep in his house....
