If u ever used your soap or toothpaste up to this level, two things are involved
1. Its either ur stingy to yourself
2. Your poverty level has a confidence interval of 100%



I usually use my paste up to that level. That doesn't mean I am poor. Most times I forget to buy from the shop while going home. And once I climb up( I live in 4 storey building), no coming down till next morning.

saintbillion:

Meaning if OP no beg him no suppose dey beg too cause him soap fit dey bigger than OP own

mtchew

saintbillion:

I swear bro. The eba took time to desolve into smooth paste, I had to speed up the process by using my hands, spoon couldn't do the job. I smash it with my hands and palms

I believe you nah,na why e dey very funny to me.Abeg no vex say I dey laugh,the story too funny,na why

At times one should be thanking God no matter the situation we found ourselves. It’s not easy to survive in Nigeria. It’s suffering and smiling everywhere you go.

Lol. Life is full of challenges. I couldn't afford to waste the eba. What shocks me was the miracle sugar. I don't know who kept the sugar there but the sugar was available at the right time. Another incident na using salt in place of sugar to drink pap

saintbillion:

Lol. Omo nothing go expire. At least 2 months e go finish.

I hear you sir

SmallDick99:

Bros see your fine bathroom. This one no be poverty na just carelessness,e dey happen to me till date even when I can afford dozens of it.

Nigeria republic of poor citizens and rich political thugs running government.

This is not poverty in its sense.

Maybe you should consider knocking your neighbours door to beg for one of those things or never having access to it at all. Like being comfortable doing them.

You know what'sup.

MrBroke:


Exactly.

LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mind you, some soaps handed out in hotels is as small as that 2nd picture even from the packet

It's not necessary poverty, but prudent management of resources

I opened the thread with some annoyance at the hyping of poverty
But with these few examples of yours, Aki, you are right
This stage na rock bottom, the abyss of penury😮‍💨

This isn't entirely true. I remember a certain time when, for 3 days I forgot to buy a new toothpaste, had to set a reminder to go off after work just so I remember on my way home.

This ain't poverty! If you see poverty , your scenero will be claiming ododwu.
Condition wey na salt we talk dey drink gari.
Na charcoal or dongoyaro stick we take dey brush.
Na palm oil or Ori be body cream!
Eating rice was occasionally, only sure on Xmas day.
Condition wey 70% of my pry sch mates come to school in barefoot !

All these conditions no be 1960s ooo!
But na God get power!

This is not poverty, sometimes you forgot totally that your tooth paste is finished. Infact I did this while I have about 100k in my account.

This one good na. You never use salt, charcoal, ashes? Growing up, most of what we used was salt .

saintbillion:

Bro. Poverty at times can lead to improvisation. I remember I did eba one certain time, soup finished, I had to add more water to the eba and add some cube of sugar then I drink am like garri.

Your own matter weak me.

wonder233:
Nigerians are so full of shyt.
Preventing waste by ensuring to use up all of an item is termed poverty.
Re-use, recycle are termed poverty.
A nation of braggarts.
Things that are being encouraged in the saner climes you lots so wish you can japa to are what you people term "poverty".
I visited a friend and was served food. I ensured to eat up to the last grain of rice on the plate. And they insisted on serving me more, I told them I was full, that my finishing the entire food wasn't because of hunger, but to prevent wastage. I knew they didn't understand what I was saying cos they would have preferred I wasted a portion of the food to prove I was full.
This nation just seems like a collection of unintelligent people

You have a very good mindset. Wastage should be discouraged totally. No matter how you get money or how financially comfortable you are, USE, REUSE and RECYCLE should be one of your guiding principles. Your money may be yours but the resources you procure with it WAS meant for everyone.

saintbillion:

I am Obidient ooo

Nice1

You can't talk of being poor and living in an apartment with tiled bathroom wall.
Your paste may have finished and it skipped your mind to replace it, even soap too.
If you have tasted poverty, you won't even have data to come on Nairaland to post it.
You've not tasted poverty please

Sometimes is just laziness

Its heartwarming to read intelligent writeups. Nairaland may be an anonymous forum, but from the way people write, you can tell people of substance. Maximum respect boss.
