But I don't still understand why people are complaining to be honest o.

During the campaigns, the person currently serving as president did indicate that the common meals of the people were bread, cassava and agbado, which he was going to make available.

The other contestant was promoting the idea of economic growth by moving the country from the status of a consumer to a producer.

In the end, some people decided that bread, cassava and agbado was preferable to national economic growth.

So I still don't get why people are complaining. undecided

If there's any sympathy to be shown, I think it would rather be for those who voted for the contestant that was promoting economic development through production. Edo state readily comes to mind. At least the people of the South-East had already foretold what was to come.

I give up nothing. At first I tried cutting cost. Used one useless dishwash that peeled my fine skin. Last last I ran back to Morning Fresh.

I just thank God I took the hard decision to focus on remote work and a harder decision to resign my 9to5. My colleagues discouraged and scared me. I don't blame them. It was all genuine concern. But I did what I had to do.

A week back one of them asked me for electricity units and I told her to send her meter number. Recharged 20k for her and she was so happy. Mentally it was $12 to me. To her it was 20k.

For this life, you have to use your active years VERY WISELY. This youthful vigour won't be there forever.
Please how can I become a remote worker

Yesterday, I told my wife and kid that the last carton of indomie noodles I grudgingly bought 2wks ago for N11,000 would be the very last in my house. Women being women, just this morning, my wife was asking me if I really meant it and wouldn't get them even if na half carton if the one at home finishes. The bombastic side eye I gave her was enough to remind her that I'm just a level 11 FG worker trying to stay afloat.

Please don't transfer aggression to your wife, i believe that she is a good wife, just sit her down and talk to her.

Things are really really getting pricey and to be sincere it seems the prices are increasing every single day.

Last time, I bought a bag of pure water for N300. The next I want to buy the same bag of pure water, it was N350.

I sha still bought it like that.

3 days later, they announced the new price, N500!

That's where I stopped buying. I was already struggling with the N350 per bag. But N500?

So now I drink from the borehole. After all others have been drinking from there and nothing do them.

Bread
Normally, bread of N200 and coke will be enough to sustain you for the day or maybe for the night.

I do it this very often.

But now eh, I can't even go close to bread again. The prices are something else.

I mean the last time I tried it, only 1k bread will make sense and honestly I can't be spending that much in a sitting all the time.

So I've left bread behind.

Same thing with noodles and spaghetti.

So, I'm stuck with cooking regular foods now. And I tend to get most of my food stuffs from the village "yam, beans, garri, rice".

We farm these things so we tend to have them in stock. But sometimes you still need to sell.

I saw some students already cooking with fire woods instead of gas due to the increasing prices.

They go to the bush in the school, either around the school zoo or the botany garden to gather firewoods and then cook at the back of the hostel.

Some just use it to parboil their beans before taking it to the hostel to complete the cooking with their gas.

Honestly, there's suffering in the land. In my school hostel, electric burner is not permitted but most students are using it because of the price of gas.

Even Christian brothers that will obey the rules, some are breaking the rules because of this hardship.

Sometimes I imagine what people on the streets will be going through right now especially those beggars.

God will help us.

For those wondering, I'm a student. And I think most students can testify that they are making heavy changes to their lifestyle right now.

If you have a child in school, please do call to check up on them regularly. Send them anything you can spare. E no easy right now.

My brother....no kill yourself abeg. Instead of noodles that don't add any nutritional value, use the 11k to buy Eight tubers of yam or get Beans. These are far much better. I and my brother have decided that instead of spending 1500 weekly on sachet water, we now resort to fetching drinking water from a nearby pure water factory borehole.
Meruwa here charges 500 naira per truck of water. Me, I have decided to be fetching my water ooo. I cannot kill myself. As for transportation, any movement that is not worth it or will not being money to my pocket, I avoid it like ebola. If the person serious, make e come my house. grin
I swear bro. Good thing is I stay in the North. That 11k fit get me more than 20 big tubers of yam

In the midst of all this, just make sure you do the needful maintain your hygiene..eating the right food. If others no react with borehole water, your own body might react very bad. Panadol lasan don enter #500, how much then to treat typhoid and malaria? God will provide.

The "level 11" part gave you away!

There's no such thing in the Nigerian civil service.

Na from 10 to 12 straight.
You're a joker. Federal workers have different salary scales. While CONPSS doesn't have level 11, others like CONTISS, CONRAISS and CONTEDISS have it. So you should've asked on which salary scale I am on.

Do you know that Federal workers have different salary scales? While mainstream civil service on CONPSS do not have level 11, we FTI workers on CONTISS and CONTEDISS have level 11. Even research and allied institutes on CONRAISS have level 11.

Nice. I'm also thinking of not buying bag of pure water. I only buy pure because it easy to just pick one and drink rather than filling bottles from the filter and stocking them inside the fridge. It's stressful.


The compound where I live the water is good and treated omo buying bag of pure every 2 days for 500 is not for me again abeg. 😂
but half set us still sold for 1k. Most of this price increment is done by people. We're just evil to ourselves.
