APC brought this mess on us.

And instead of this party to apologize to nigerians and ask for forgiveness for bringing untold hardship, they are busy gaslighting and campaigning for elections


It's really hard to adjust nowadays because almost everything is expensive.

Oga, I hate APC no means na everything bad I go dey blame them for, inflation na everywhere, nor be only Nigeria so APC or any party no fit anything about it

Na God dey help person.

For morning children cereals, I make tombrown (soya, gero, groundut, corn) the main cereal for the children, cornflakes and amazing day is a back up not the main cereal the adults also take the tombrown sometimes.

I switched from full cream to skim milk miksi, it's cheaper, still better than no milk at all.

For washing plates
Liquid soap, made 5 liters for 1k, the thing dinot foam well like morning fresh grin also tried buying kogi soap( they said 3 large ones 500) I say kogi soap this costly? I maintained the local liquid soap jeje

Detergent I buy in carton to save small 10tenten kobo here and there.


No wastage of food at all at all.

12.5kg of cooking gas costs N9,800 in my place which when filled up, lasts roughly 5 weeks.

Instead, I now resort to using charcoal. 50kg of it costs me 3k here and I use it for 8 weeks before it finishes. Kindling the charcoal for the first time is not always easy, so I buy 2 litres of kerosene (N800/ltr) which I can use throughout the 8 weeks of using the charcoal.

Using cooking gas for 5 weeks costs 9.8k while using charcoal for 8 weeks costs only 4.6k. If I was to use cooking gas for 8 weeks, that would cost me 15.7k but since I'm now using charcoal, I'm saving a whopping N11,100 for cooking energy for every two months or N5,050 each month.

not trying to be immodest but, money is flowing right, left and center in this government. And people are cashing out!

Just stand aside and watch events carefully. With your idea in place you could cash out big before elections time. Stop following the crowd.

Obi is not our Messiah!!

No Messiah is popular. The universe raises whom she wants to redeem her children. Not the people.

Buhari was supposed to deliver Nigerians but, he was caged as was Jonathan.

Obi will be easy to caged and he will end up the worse president in history.

The system in place is well entrenched.

It is the turn of the south to produce power.

Tinubu is ready let him lead!!

No more running generator all night if there's no power supply, if heat wants to kill me , let it finish me.

Stopped attending parties like forever ago , especially those ones with Asoebi angry.

I don't select food anymore, anything available goes.

I'm not buying any clothes till next year, even handkerchiefs grin.

No urgent 5/10k for family and friends, before you start your complain ,I don finish you with my own self except, of course, it's a life-threatening situation.
Changed my skincare products( Price increased from 8500 to 13k plus ),I'm back to my darling vaseline lotion and 700 soap my lipsrsealed.

wigs or weave my natural hair, might cut my hair later on.

I got a stove, charcoal pot ,in case.

I hardly cook now , since I'm alone , na 'mama put' and bukka get me. To cook correct soup now , 10k don vanish except I'm having an important guest(s). Ordinary titus fish now is 1k up for medium sizes undecided

I never travel since February and now Flight ticket has tripled, na Agofure get me this Christmas.

I don't stock up goods for customers again.
I might sell them and before I go to rebuy, the prices have increased overnight and no way to tell the customer any story (this one happened this week) cry.

Allow me list my own here.

1. I have removed bread , yam and meat from my diet ,this foods are too expensive, I now eat panla fish because it's cheaper and more nutritious.

2. I use my car to carry passnegers whenever am going to and fro work, this is something I have never done but l thanks to the lifeless cow in power , the little money made I use in buying fuel.

3. I cut my girlfriends, sidechicks, friends with benefits from 7 to just 3, make I for dey see food chop . They are a drain on my meagre resources.

4. I only bath once a day to avoid wasting money for soap, I only shower at night.

5. They are alot of things I have cut, time will not permit me to write it all, all in all Sha it won't be well with people that put this country in this quagmire

- Buy home made liquid soap and cut it into two or three in different containers, then top up with water
- I buy milk and bournvita in sachets now... It's very cheap, plus no room for excessive usage. Ña to just cut one or two sachets use. But if Na refill or tin, the spoon go just dey pack am
- I buy more of potatoes now rather than yam. I don't know the farmers planting potato, but God will continually bless them. Potato price no dey ever increase. #400 potato go full everywhere
- I buy measuring cornflakes and Quaker oats from those selling cake ingredients. It's very cheap and also much, compared to buying packaged ones
- I almost never use my gas to cook. Na so so hotplate now (I don't use prepaid)
- I no dey give woman t.fare if them come visit... If you no get t.fare, dey your house
- Very importantly, I now do this monthly contribution someone introduced to me... So, at the end of the year, I receive about two bags of rice, beverages and other things, which I waybill to my parents and they pour me extra blessing for the coming year

Although twice in a month, I still take myself out and pamper myself sha o

Laslas, everybody go dey alright
