Not true. Cooking your food at home is so much better than buying food outside. I've been eating out for sometime now due to work and I know how much I have spent so far. The worst is that they'll serve you small quantity of food for so much money such that you don't get filled unless you empty your wallet. It's too bad, especially in this igboland.

From my own perspective, it's cheaper to just buy food.....personally I love having varieties of soup on different days.....so I'll have to cook different varieties??...or different varieties of rice??....its just expensive, coupled with d stress of cooking dem all.....and u only got d weekend to relax and prepare for d following week

It all boils down to income. 4k daily aggregates into 120K monthly. That's not sustainable for most people.

Dimaya:


How many Nigerians earn over 120K monthly?

Did she mention what Nigerians earn or referring to herself?

Mindlog:
Dismal low income has really messed up a lot of people's psyche......people should focus more on soaking up knowledge online to earn more, so that spending N4,000 daily on feeding as a single in Lagos, would nor sound like a lie.....not even up to 6USDT!

Talking of soaking up knowledge, which particular skill do you think is easy to learn within a month and be a sure way of bringing me some dough on the side.

Her life her choice

i tire o. please tell them o. All these people who are still living in their parents house and giving advice on learning new skills. If e easy, everybody go dey do am o

DWJOBScom:
She is not lying o
Even without the AC and all
Good and healthy food is expensive right now.
I am not even talking about The Place , Mega kitchen and their other relatives but an AVERAGE eating place.

how much do you spend on food daily?

cococandy:
How marriage come enter the conversation?

watch the reaction of the men seating behind her

In Lagos, especially on the island 4k per day on food is nothing special. It not about fake life, the simple truth is that most Nigerians cannot do this because of poverty. One piece of titus fish (not full one o) is already 1k and that is per meal o. Na only once you go chop? The alternative is cooking, but with the crazy Lagos schedule and traffic that can only be done sparingly

What is her monthly income?

This only tells me she doesn't cook at all at home.

And if she doesn't, N4k per day is not a huge deal and assuming that she picks whatever she eats herself.

With delivery fee, it would be more than N4k daily.

@marriage: depends on the suitor's pockets and her ability to adapt to cooking after marriage.

Besides, there are some marriages where they buy soups and stews (thereby still eating outside).

She might be telling the truth o!

4k in this era isn't 4k of 2010. One can easily spend that money on a single meal. Our naira is useless.

So anyone who gives you advise to go learn new skill, still lives with their parents............no wonder spending N4k to feed one's self in a day still sound out of the world to many!

you have to be practical. what new skill will you learn today that will gurantee 120K monthly pay within 3-6 months. Just tell us. DOn't hypothesize or pontificate.

I honestly want to know.

People have access to internet, they should be smart enough to search for such.

A Namibian friend who is presently doing her dissertation for her postgraduate studies here in the UK got connected to a Kenyan lady I know who is a data analyst, someone who I know studied Peace and conflict resolution in the University but upskilled herself by learning data analysis online.

The Kenyan lady charged the Namibian £400 to analyze the data of her survey and finished doing it within 5 days because she was also doing other projects.

Back in the day, I paid my bills doing transcription jobs for foreign clients and I was charging $36 per audio hour being transcribed, I could finish the one hour audio in 2 days because of my other engagements. Also did social media content scheduling for a US based publicity firm which paid me $350 monthly

There are many things that can be done, no one would spoon feed others on how to go about it.

Dimaya:


watch the reaction of the men seating behind her

They seemed to be having heart attacks.

But I’m guessing the reactions of the people in the room with her means they don’t spend that much daily on food. Which tells me that feeding is still kind of affordable for the poor people then.

It is not easy, that is why everyone is not doing and that is how the world should be.

I was surprisrd Naz agreed. Somebody that buys babes chicken republic or what is that their name. The ones with weird food packages.

Shocking coming from you. Sheybi na you wan carry babe go buy Refuel Max for Chicken Republic.

Proserpina:
So I'm not the only one I was expecting him to do some permutation and calculus on the lady's spendings and her wifey "materialness"

E done repent. That is plus 1 Nigerian man ready to spend on us.

Lol.. during my final year a plate of rice and meat and moi moi/salad was 800. Bottle water 150. I will not even count transport going and coming to the canteen
That is over a thousand naira.

Three times a day is 3000.

I didn't add in between snack or chippies.

Or were people thinking a plate of food( not buka) is less than 500 anywhere?

How much is it to cook a pot of soup or stew?
How much is a breakfast?
A satchet of Milo and peak milk, 200 naira. Two eggs, 200 naira.
A good loaf of bread is from 800 and above(let's assume you eat one-quarter of a bread that is 200 ). Then those that go an extra mile with Titus sardine(600) or hot dogs and baked beans

Those that begin our day with a cup of espresso.

Naija men avoid this woman. Meet the one that you will soak bread inside Lipton or top tea and eat. Please just leave her and go for your class

So una still de drag this 12k mata.

Anyways, I'm not against girls spending money on themselves like the girl in question. If a girl can afford to spend 100k daily on food, I'd say go girl, you're da bomb.

I'm fiercely against girls going out with a guy to an eatery and eating what they can't afford to pay for. This is where the 12k girl comes into the picture. She ate what she couldn't afford.

Madam don vex

A lot of ladies enter restaurants and eat hoping that someone will pay for their food. It's actually quite common in surulere.

Nazgul don't mind these chicks - they are the type that make men millionaires

Men that were billionaires before

Make that money

The man has to spend that money.

Foodqueen:
It's possible.

She isn't extravagant at all.

Going by the price of commodity, spending 4k per day isn't bad.

May God help us all.

The people in that video all look like they live in their parents house & get fed by their parents so they don't know how much food cost.

Once you step outside your house in Lagos to eat. You must surely spend close to that daily on food.

A loaf of slice bread is around #1000 ish.

It's not really about class, even in the poorest of places in Lagos EG: Makoko, a plate of food in this new Tinubu's dispensation still cost between 400 - 800. The same amount you quoted. The reason why those guys are surprised is because 99% of the guys in that room eat from their mothers pot. They haven't gone to the market before to purchase anything. They don't pay bills, nothing!

That's why when taking feedback from social media, remember to ask for the ages of the people giving you feedback. Most of them are between 16 - 20.

My brother, go back and watch the video. They are laughing because she says she spends more than N4,000 per day on eating out. That means she will be spending over N120,000 per month eating out.

Over N120,000! on just eating out!

How much does the average Nigerian have left from his wages after removing transport fare to work?

that's why they are laughing.

How sustainable is 120K on food for eachember of a family. That means that if she's married with 2 kids, her family of four will spend almost 480K monthly on just food.

That's why people were laughing also
