For those who make about 20k a month, how do they do this?

some five years ago, i was earning just that much.

never had any savings. couldn't afford to buy clothes. Anyway, it was because I was contributing to the upkeep of the home. 20k with lesson money and other small small cash here and there, i was never able to account for it....

I remember asking my colleague who earned just as much, he had one daughter in the uni, and a family of 3. I was like , "how do you survive"

No, seriously, how did your friend feed 3 mouths with just N20,000?

I just cross off people who do that, particularly those who have kids with next to nothing, as just some of most evil of evil folks out there. But please exactly how do they do that?

Today I ate porridge with the remaining potatoes. ( The 500 naira own I bought)
There is still 3 pieces remaining


Potato porridge

Dried fish - 100
Ugwu - 100

Hi there,

To reply the question why Living Besides Nigeria.
Nigeria is not going to get better with the population, peak oil, and economic collapse. what we are seeing is the tip of the iceberg.


My goal is to teach Nigerians how to live life on the little we have

So I am posting my Sunday
moi moi

Yesterday I bought beans and ground it
I didn't even pick it, just bought a paint of white beans and ground it at Ilepo
2300 + 500 for grounding.
This usually last me 3 months.

I also bought Onions 500 too. For every month.


Moi Moi:
Put the grounded beans in water,
Add pepper
Add grounded crayfish
Salt and oil (No maggi)
Put it inside Nylon and boil.

I eat two then the remaining I can eat with noodles at night

Interesting.

Sunday rice.

Its not every time that you must fry stew.
And with the recent increase in the price of tomato.
This might be the way going forward.

Rice and Pepper soup.
I have rice at home.
Pepper soup ingredients - 200 naira (per cup)
Utazi leaf (the bitter one)
Kote fish 600 naira

I added grounded crayfish, salt and maggi.
That's all.

But come to think of it, what's the essence of life if you can't enjoy it, Chai may God help us all.

Which one be pepper soup ingredient

Spaghetti.

Cooked with bone marrow and ugwu.

The total money spent.
Spaghetti -350
Ugwu - 100

Bone marrow & biscuit bone -100
Curry -30
Fried rice spice - 50
Total - 580

The butcher already knows me and carefully remove the marrow of the bones. With a cut of biscuit bone and bone for 100 naira.


Yes this food is called brain food
.you will not be hungry for two days. As the fat will make you full.

I don't eat it always though.

Coffee and crackers.
My own remedy.

I added oil to my coffee.( yes oil)

I take this before going to work and don't need to eat anything till I come back home

Psiyohos:

Oil to your coffee? What particular oil?
Why?

Unless it's mmanu añu, I can't think of any other mmanu (oil) one can add to their coffee.

Akara and Quaker oat.

The grounded beans I have, with
Oats - #1,100
I have been drinking this one for 3 months now,) don't cook it often.

I don't like making akara because of oil.
Just make a paste with the beans flour
Add salt(no maggi !!)
Grounded pepper and
Onions

Dazzol.

Spaghetti and Waterleaf.

When the going gets tough and tomato become expensive, and water leaf comes out.

I buy spaghetti - #350
Waterleaf - 100
Egg - 2 (150)


I just boil my spaghetti Al dente.
With the eggs inside

Cut the water leaf ( the hard part)
Slice onions down

I just pour the water leaf inside the pot
Pour the onions immediately with it and add palm oil, with one maggi and cover it
The onions and the heat will soften the waterleaf and in a matter of minutes,
It's done.


In the picture I used ponmo (#150) and I boiled the spag with the small remaining sweet potato I had

Dazzol

Potatoes and fried pepper.

Potatoes - #500
Pepper (rodo) - #100
Tomato - 100
Ponmo -150


I decided to cook this after seeing a person selling it at work.
I learnt the trick of boiling the potatoes with nylon inside the pot before covering it
Add enough water and use a small poly bag or nylon to cover the potatoes to give it an all round cooking with the steam

Boil your ponmo and add it to your sauce.


Dazzol

Ofada and stew

I don't cook ofada all the time, the smell ehn. ( I bought 3 dericas since February)
It's still there
And I still don't know how to make the ofada stew.

Plantain - 500
Fish - 300 (Sawa
Tomato and pepper - 300
Iru - 100

So my neighbors selling foodstuffs,
Was selling Yam cheap one day.

Yam - 400
Tomato and pepper 200
Egg 2 (150)

Spaghetti and Vegetables stew.

I really love eating spag (obviously)

Spaghetti -#350
Iru - #100
Bone marrow - #100
Ugwu - #100
Pepper - #100
Tomato paste-#100
...

(I have eaten a little b4 snapping Lol)

Wow. Cool.

Which one is bone marrow. Which part of Nigeria do you stay??

I stay in Lagos Nigeria

Eggs to the Rescue.

With the cost of brea and noodles.

You should learn how to start eating eggs.
Eggs is fat and fat last longer in the stomach than carbohydrate that shoot up our insulin and make up feeling hungry again


Instead of buying more noodles buy more Eggs
Don't be afraid to eat 4 or 5 Eggs at once.
It will benefit you more than 400 naira Belleful indomie that doesn't use to rise again.

And it more nutritious and will stay in your stomach longer.

I drink coffee and sugar
Buy 3 Eggs and one Yale bread For breakfast..
Don't boil it too hard.

With the way things are going only Eggs will save us.

Mashed potatoes and Eggs.

Potatoes - 500
Eggs - 200

Cut your potatoes add onions and put on the fire (adding onions makes It soften quicker) because of gas

When cooked, bring your spatula and turn it like eba, add pepper and a little salt
Fry your eggs.

Pepper soup ingredients
(Someone asked what it is)

Here's what it looks like.

The game changer for cooking noodles.
Sometimes when you eat noodles you fill you are not full, no matter how many you eat.
Well this sets out to change all that.
With 2 superpack and 1/2 eggs
And you scoop some of this it will give you that pepper soup feeling.
And with enough broth to drink when. You finish your noodles. Or if you are eating with bread.

THE GAME CHANGER:

ADDING extra oil to your Sunday rice.

Yes extra Groundnut oil.
This will make you get full easier.
It will set your brain on fire, after you eat it, you will blow our plenty catarrh from your nose
And you get full quicker.

I have been studying the northerners and they possess a lot of knowledge about living life in a cheap way that I really want to know and understand.

Adding extra oil to your rice will make you get full quicker as rice is carbohydrate too much rice will only make you fat.
Do you ask yourself why are the Northerners thinner,
They don't eat much rice, but they eat beans and add oil to their food.

Adding extra oil to your rice to as much as 1/4 of the plate. Makes you warm, makes you full with less food, and increase your brain activity.

Try it this Sunday.
Pour that extra oil to your rice and see if you will be able to finish that portion that you are used to.

If you feel nauseous lick tom Tom.


Happy Sunday

CIGARETTES.

Yes you heard me, without cigarettes hungry will kill us. As we Nigerians descend into comummunist slavery.
We have to learn from the Chinese to incorporate cigarette as part of our diet.
They help control the hunger so that we can eat once a day and they shrink our stomachs so that little food will be enough.

You should limit to at most 2 sticks per day
And drink hot tea (Lipton and the likes)to wash down your lungs.
My brand ( Oris Strawberry)

E go better.
