Hmmm refill my 12.5kg cylinder today for #900 per kg thus #11,250 to fill up was counting the money with enuf anger on my mind I was standing at the gas station for complete 5mins motionless....
By next week I still have to refill another 10kg cylinder that's another 9k if the price still remains at #900 .


Taking the total to #20,250 to fill my two cylinder under a month....

The guy must be drinking king's oil. For me to cook such small pot of stew, if all other things remain same, I will buy meat 1500 and half bottle of kings oil N500. Thereby u saving 5000 naira

Nope .. just household

Tonymegabush1:



Nope .. just household

I'm nonplussed at the comments I'm reading sha, them don kill us finish for Akwa-Ibom be this, imagine buying a kilo of meat as at this period last year for #900 a kilo, that's to say I'll spend up to 5k to buy this much meat put on flick by the OP in Uyo then. Never seen a town with so much delight in exploiting it's populace- high cost of food prices etc

Nigeria wey we dey hope make e better, instead e dey get worse.

All the more reason to register for the 9th season of The Next Titan Reality Show, even if I don't win the N20M grand prize, the N5M for runners-up will suffice.

Nope .. just 3person... Well I like refilling gas like that it will stay for 3 months +

Wow,una dey enjoy for Lagos. Things are still cheap in Lagos, compared to South EAST. This food stuffs you bought for 8,500 in Lagos is worth over 15k here in the EAST.

We are really suffering here in the East. Buhari and UN should come to our aid. An average man can no longer afford to eat in the East. Price of everything has gone beyound the reach of the comon man in the East.

The media is not reporting the rate at which we are suffering here.

I think you are right done how . SE is far the richest zone in Nigeria and their purchasing power is almost double elsewhere. That's why other Nigerians cnt survive in SE because of poor standard of living in their regions. Typical example is here in the US, something you can buy for $100 goes a partly $60 pr $70 in Mississippi, ohio or Alabama. That means an average SE can survive any where but average Nigeria can't survive in SE.

Honestly we don't buy tomato paste at N100 o, was surprised wen I saw it written hundred naira.

That’s good to know.
With that money one can also get the Oraimo Palm speaker

Come and be living in ibadan,,you get coconut head,,see meat wey no reach 2k you dey buy am 3k pepper wey no reach 300 for gbaremu market here for iya luku side you dey buy am 600 ....... enjoy your meal bro

SmartPolician:
Good evening, Nairalanders.

I hope you people are doing great.
So, I decided to go to a Lagos market, buy ingredients for stew and make a pot of stew.

This is what I could buy with over 8k.

Meat = 3k
Veg oil= 4k (King's oil - 2 litres)
Tomato and pepper = 600
Maggi = 100
Onions= 100
Tomato paste = 500 (5 sachets)
Curry leaves = 100

Total = #8400

I want to use this opportunity to appeal to Mr. Seun to incorporate into Nairaland bots that will track keywords used for online begging and block them.

Since some people have decided to foist on everyone bad leaders whom we clearly know have no plans for the country. Let's suffer together if they win but begging on Nairaland should be banned.

What's the connection between what you boughs and those who beg or ask for help? I pray that you should never be in a tight corner that will push you to ask for money online. I know some of them are scammers while there are those with genuine needs.

It's not compulsory you help anyone. But don't discourage those who do. There is blessing in giving. And those who ask for financial support are not necessarily lazy. Only those who have been through this rough road will understand what I am saying.

Why not buy agbado and cassava so that you can start getting used to it now

Damn brother. You wan tear my stomach o

Nna he/she overspend ,,,. maybe he did so because he wanted to

thebosstrevor1:
Do you drink Kings oil in your house.

You spent almost half of your budget to buy Kings Oil

And you are here complaining about what you bought with 8k

dyera:
You exaggerated the cost of preparing a meal by buying 4k oil when N500 oil would have been enough. The total cost of buying the stew ingredients should have been 5k.

even 5k is astronomical in a country where many states can't pay 30k minimum wage.

That meat no supposed to pass 1k or 1,500k. The cheated you.

People still de buy meat... Salah meat no finish oo

thebosstrevor1:

And you are here complaining about what you bought with 8k

If you understand the dynamics of shopping and market pricing system, then you would know that its better to buy things like oil, Rice, Beans, Garri/semo in bulk. These items constitute a major strain in cash when shopping. Imagine if oil was off that list, op would have spent about half the price only.

Wait is that 3k meat...whao!!! This country is finished na to use 3k buy suya turn am inside stew be that na

The meat is good & actually good for 3k

King's oil to fry meat not fit for kings. This ain't prudent on your path and you got no moral right to complain about what the other half of 8k got for you
