Bulk cooking/shopping is good, but we know how expensive it is to do these things in bulk. Do you know 5l of Gino vegetable oil is about 5k now? Check cost of other things. What is the minimum wage again? Then we add electricity bills. When you cook and buy things in bulk, your next challenge is preserving them. You would have to be running generator to keep the freezer powered. It is not a straight line in Nigeria o. The variables that would want to kill your career plenty.

I am not into chicken, more of a turkey person.

I lived in abj. I love turkey too. The only chicken i can eat is live bird or obasanjo .Was still in Nigeria when Buhari became president. Thatyr tomatoes rose to 48k, I bought big basket for 800hundred when it's tomato season. Added pepper, garlic, ginger and onions, then blend. When people were screaming, I was giving out cos I bought 2 basket and was preparing to travel. I go to mararaba and buy my yam and goat meat, village market in madalla for soup things meanwhile, I know where my house is and the type of people who visits the market there.
You see, u can, if you want to.
When you start, it become part of you.
Saves tonnes of cash, stress and time.
It's something I grew up with, that's why I do that effortlessly anywhere I am.
As long as you have electricity for like 7 hours a day in naija. You are covered.

paulGrundy:
its cheaper to cook if you are buying all your foodstuffs in bulk.

Bless you for this secret.
Bulk buying have saved lots of homes.

No matter how rich you are, bulk buy and learn how to preserve foodstuffs.
You will be shocked if you do the math one day.

pocohantas:
I can’t ever remember saying I am rich, maybe you can point me to where I said such. That said, any woman with a vagina knows roadside or small hairdressers BRAID hair BETTER than big salons. Some big salons do not even braid hair because it is time consuming. All they do is fixing, manicure, pedicure and the likes. When they braid, it is overpriced and I have things to do with my money, not pay 25k to braid hair that I will definitely loosen in 2 weeks.

That said, if you have money to giveaway, abeg consider me. Ese Sir.



Lol. Yes I noticed you guys over there do not eat beef anyhow like we do here. It is getting expensive here sha, but not yet that bad. We can still afford it.



Never knew I am that bad.

I don't know why but I stopped eating beef like 2 yrs in naija before I travelled out. I patronized obasanjo farm for chicken( that's the best frozen chicken one c an get in nigeria) have one lady that supply me with turkey drumstick, goat meat, then my dry fish and stock fish.

I eat beef here. Buy one quarter large grass fed cow around 800pounds. Africans are the ones that eat beef a lot outside naija. (It's seasonal for them, Christmas, summer etc cos meat is expensive) Butchers know that and they cut the meat like we cut in naija for us

Oyibo cut their meat differently.

Generally, I bulk buy things( started doing that during varsity days)

BigDawsNet:
Rodger that!

My networth is still not perfect but im gonna make my folks proud...

Then I will eat good African food

Aww, will take back what I said.
You have a very good disposition about life.
Wishing you the best

pocohantas:
I will say it depends on the quantity and quality of the food. There is this place I buy afang soup, they sell a small takeaway plate @ about N4500. With delivery is approx N5500. Now would I not cook a good pot of afang soup of about 1l with N4500 and eat it many times? That is assuming I have the basic ingredients sha.

For me, I also consider the energy and time involved- that is what makes it expensive to always cook at home. Sometimes I just order out to save myself stress abeg.

Anyway, I noticed na poor people chop outside pass o. Whenever I am braiding my hair in those roadsides hairdressers, I will watch the woman buy N100 rice for her kids.

We should also consider the fact that many Nigerians do not have bulk money to use and cook a single meal. Soup wey them no even get light/refrigerator to preserve.

I think it is healthier, but not always cheaper.

It is very expensive cooking Nigerian dishes outside Nigeria.
We cook with beef anyhow in Nigeria.
Beef is the most expensive meat in most developed countries.

It's cheap in Nigeria cos herders don't pay anything for rearing their cows in Nigeria. Just enter any farm and take over. Coward south

BigDawsNet:
I don't really fancy tha when I can order for pizza or visit the restaurant to eat...

I only cook when my folks pay me a visit

My gf on the other hand can't cook any African dishes

Pizza is poor man's food and very unhealthy.

In nigeria, yes.
Outside naija if you love naija delicacies, very expensive

DECENCY3:
During our early year in marriage, I realised he is not a good kiss. He kisses and empty his own and my own saliva into my mouth and I'll be swallowing. I talked to him a couple of times but he'll just laugh it off.

One day I made up my mind that I will not kiss him again and that's it. Close to 10years now I wouldn't allow him to kiss me. He has tried everything possible but no way.

There are minor things we do that have long lasting effect in the marriage. If he doesn't want to kiss you then allow him for your own sanity.

Fabricated story.

crackhaus:
Not me...

As long as I did not meet a woman as a virgin, if she begins acting innocent and naive in bedroom matters, I will even hate her for it.
Who does she think she's fooling?

Leave women alone

When u guys think love making is by humping.
U see them humping like the castrated he goat in my papa compound.
I will tell one of the reasons women cheat.
Men( most) think it's by dil size and humping. Humping any how dry a woman and makes sex less enjoyable but of course she has to moan and groan.
Also, the walls of the vj is seriously bruised when a lady is dry fked.
And I pity those who can't go down on their ladies cos they don't know what they are missing.
If I can go down on you, gay can go down on butt cheek, but you can't go down on me, I don't know what I'm doing with you. If I'm not neat to your satisfaction,help me as I help you to look the way I want you down there and let's make memory.

After food, what again do we enjoy if not sex.

Are these stolen phones?
Even as second hand, that galaxy 21 is still not this cheap.

I watched her inaugural speech and remembered guys here who said you have to change your accent like oyibo to rise to the top.
Ngòzi has been in the world power circle all through her life but she still have igbo accent. Any Nigerian who hear her speak knows her tribe. Be proud of your mother tongue people!

Stop belittling yourselves in the West. Your productivity counts not your accent.
Even in Nigeria, we tend to speak with the West accent more than the West. We all are guilty of inferiority complex.
Watch Nigerian movies and you will be highly embarrassed especially when you are watching it with a non Nigeria.
Or is it my sister that will give you reasons for having straight hair when her nose is flat and her colour is ebony.
To feel among, we go as far as bleaching our skin.

And u see Nigerian guys rushing these babes that bleach like their existence depends on them.

We can only get better when we stop glorifying the West.

Youngzedd:
It's Canadian dollar not USD.

Sighs with relief.

That got me seriously worried

Some people are looking for mother figure without realising it

The worst form of poverty is poverty of the brain

Hmmm

Politicians doing what they know best since Jonathan took over.
Maybe, they will rule themselves after killing off everybody

justosee:
Meghan never understood what she was going into. She didn't understand the British monarchy ranking system.
She thought Harry was a real prince, not knowing that he was just a substitute.

That's where people got this wrong.
Megan knew what she was going into.
She had wanted to be a member of this royal family for long. A Diana fanatic but she forgot that the British will first of all study you especially if you are an outsider before they can trust you.
If she had gained the trust of one member of the royal family, she will easily gain all but she was to impatient.
Then to curry favour, she started throwing the race card.

Harry hate his brother passionately and is mostly erratic especially when drunk. Megan saw that loophole and dived in.
I'm.more concerned about their kids than their drama.

JosephXavier:
If it's really conspiracy theories, why then did Prince Harry got treated the way he did for marrying a woman of African decent

Does that not tell you that the royal family are racists

He wasn't treated bad. Megan was too dramatic. Has nothing to do with race. She craves equality with Kate. Never believed in hieracy of the monarchy.
People like her pout and scream when things don't go their way. And can step on you to get what they want.
Brit is not America. And British are less racist than most developed countries.

justosee:
Prince Harry was not treated badly. He married an attention seeking woman who doesn't know her place.

Everyone in the British monarchy have their ranks.
Meghan thought she will be treated as a first class Princess, forgetting her husband is not inline for the throne.

Harry was never a first class Prince even before meeting Meghan. He was just his elder brother substitute, and that was too hard for Meghan to accept.

That old lady had a very soft spot for Harry and Harry has been using that weakness to get away with his unruly behaviour most of the time until this one. The queen decided not to dance to his tone anymore and here we are.
Truth is, people are more concerned about covid and economy returning to normal than this.
British adore their queen. The queen is the most powerful and revered in UK and anybody who is the enemy of the queen is their's as well.

One thing with drama queens is they don't know when to stop.
She will come up with another interview maybe when she put to bed.

crackhaus:
There's no such thing as gender equality, and there can never be.

An equitable/fair treatment of the genders in relation to their strengths and weaknesses, is all that can be achieved.

People who throw around that phrase gender equality, simply don't know what they are asking for and just want to belong.

It's too much Hollywood movies.

Not surprised

Blakpot:
Simples!
To give the Jesuit order full control of the Vatican.

Pope Francis is the first Jesuit pope in history.

They are in full control now that both the black pope (Arturo Sosa) and white pope are of the same order.

Almost give up hope when all I see is emotional tantrums here and there.


Actually, Jesuit pope mainly known as the black pope are never in the public. They are the papacy .Because the society are sceptical about them, they introduced the ceremonial white pope we know but are the real ruler of papacy from behind. So very powerful and of the highest occultic echelon in this world.

Very stupid question.
Male hormones are wired naturally for power and conquest.
Taking that away from a man is like castigating him.

Men become sit at home temporary due to loss of job or illness otherwise no man with raging testosterone will agree to that.
At a point they accept due to the aforementioned, the dominance nature will still surface and we have clash of interest.

U keep on arresting and prosecuting them, they keep on multiplying

pquaver:
Say what u know. Stop bringing ur tribalistic mentality and sentiment to the church. Pope is not chosen by qualification. It like saying the president of Nigeria is by being the most qualified. An election was held and someone won. And now u have carried this your victim mentality to the church. Pls keep it away.. I am a catholic and the same catholic church made arinze a cardinal and appointed him ahead of some white men in certain offices. Pls again keep the church out of your tribalism thank you.

Emotional tantrums every where.
Tribalism kò

bukatyne:
They mentioned been cut off about twice.

They should move on already; this is getting stale.

Exactly.

I saw the advert about this interview at work on Thursday , I'm sure some of my colleagues saw that too but nobody said anything about that.
Last night I saw the analysis of the interview on sky news Australia. It was really bad. Curiosity made me check out some news sites, girl, she isn't celebrated. British love their monarch and British allies too even though they are pain in the arse. I saw strong solidarity online for the queen and her family and they are not British.
Hope she won't divorce that guy anytime soon

Let her go and continue with acting.
Hate drama queens. So many of them from US.

Good for them.

Oprah was there on her wedding for a reason.

Only American media( Hollywood) celebrate her.
A late princess Diana hard core fanatic. Surprisingly, the fame Diana garnered she got the opposite. Didn't go as she planned.


Harry is rumoured a love child so had his bias and obsession with his brother and dad and this lady is maximising that weakness to the fullest.
Good luck to them

BabaIbo:
Trash!
Trash!!
Trash!!!

You wanted to make sense by buttressing on his point "selection of pope" but you deviated and spewed trash.

Why single out a tribe as if your own tribe is perfect or free from tribalism?

Which one is "all Pentecostal churches headed by Igbo", as if your tribe is free from tribalism?

Like I said, all you to typed are trashes.

You know the problem with u?
Emotions.
It beclouds everything.
Now,go back and read my submission carefully and slowly..

justosee:
Keep your advice to yourself until the Catholic church finally agree to appoint a black pope

Only u made sense here.
Arinze was the most qualified but he was sidestepped cos he was a black man.
How many years of Catholic church and their bulk of adherents in Africa yet they don't want to reward black man by making him pope.

The same with all of them. Jehovah witness will never put a black man as part of its governing council or is it Anglican church?
Let's narrow it down to Nigeria.
Redeeem, winners, any popular Pentecostal headed by igbo, enenche etc will never give pastors from other tribes recognition and higher offices rather, they are always sent to villages to go and plant churches, remit a particular amount every month, uprooted when success has been attained to another remote village to go continue suffering.

That the world is this way are these religious supremacists with unquenchable greed for power and control.
Nonsense

Why didn't the papacy allow Cardinal Arinze became pope as the most qualified instead of this man?
Mtcheew.

So ekwulobia now is a diocese?
I didn't see this coming. That's good.

Will like to know those under this new diocese.
