First of all...

The word SAPA is a term used in Nigerian Pidgin English to describe a state of being extremely broke or poor, usually after spending extravagantly.

Na only one cup of rice I get for house...pepper and all other things no dey.. and I no fit go knock for anybody door because it was really late in the night...... With fate I put my rice on fire... squeeze two Maggi put inside...then when e done...I serve am inside plate...come off my room light ..cos I no wan see wetin I dey chop....I come dey imagine say na jollof rice I dey eat...till I finish am...drink like two cup of water...na the second day I pack the plate ....wetin concern me....

The day I drank garri with unripe pawpaw

My current sapa moment. No foodstuffs,no money. Just wake up and recieve anything life has to give

I use Oats and Palm oil to make soup. Buy N100 FUFU use mend am.

All those project time in final year, if you are from a low income family way only you and God they assist una self.

One early morning like this, hunger done already drill me through the night. I done mark one orange tree way I go raid.

I packed my bagco, carry my canavss and wear camo

When I reach the tree, omo, na only one orange remain for ontop.

I wanted to faint.

Normal levels, 001 or 010 or 100 but never 111

Aah

My sapa adventure strengthened my legs to the glory of God, I would walk across EKSU campus (UNAD) every morning for registration and orientation, fortunately ShelterView hostel was just at School gate. Fufu (mended) with groundnut became like fried rice. Garri was bae. Grateful to God for process
