2 Turkey laps 0.6kg 2,000 naira (146 rubles)

Pork meat 0.6 kg 3,300 naira (236 rubles) Pork is actually pretty expensive. High demand I guess. Also from my last post some people were annoyed that I eat pork which is strange . 'beef' is a god in one country. Besides here in the cold, meat, especially pork is vital for survival.

Sea food (Mature Squid about four) 303 rubles (4,250 naira)

Total of about 9,500 Naira. However I paid only about 9,000 naira for these items because like I mentioned earlier, some stores offer discount for students if you carry your student Identification card with you.

You might be wondering if I only want to eat meat or why I don't buy other things. Well my church pastor who is obviously a Russian often sends us (African students) food items like rice, potatoes and spices so I hardly buy these items. Also we tend to buy potatoes collectively in large quantities during summer when it is even much cheaper.

Happy new year Nairalanders.

Is It True That Short People Are Always Stubborn?

There’s this saying in Nigeria that "na small pepper dey hot pass." It reflects a widespread belief that short people are inherently stubborn or feisty. But is there any truth to this claim, or is it just one of those playful stereotypes Nigerians love to throw around and slap on people?

In Nigeria's cultural context, we thrive on humor and banter. Many of our stereotypes come from lived experiences, observations, and outright exaggerations. The idea that short people are stubborn could stem from the way they’ve been perceived to compensate for their lack of height in a society where "tall" is often equated with leadership or authority.

Short people in Nigeria often develop big personalities to avoid being overshadowed—literally and figuratively. They’re the ones you’ll find arguing loudly in bus parks, defending their positions fiercely at family meetings, or taking leadership roles in unexpected places.

Stubbornness in this context could mean determination, resilience, or simply not taking nonsense from anyone. Many short Nigerians have grown up being teased or underestimated because of their height. This can lead to a natural tendency to assert themselves, proving that "size no be problem."
Consider successful Nigerians who’ve been described as stubborn (in a good way) due to their drive. Isn’t this "stubbornness" simply a trait of people who refuse to let societal biases define them?

Looking at science, researchers suggest that people with perceived disadvantages, such as height, often overcompensate by being more assertive or dominant. However, these are generalizations. Personality is shaped more by upbringing, environment, and experiences than by height.
On the flip side, we know some tall people can be stubborn also. Nigerians will always say, “Everybody get their own wahala.” Stubbornness is not exclusive to short people; it’s a human trait. Some of the most rigid people you’ll meet are tall, quiet, and unyielding.

While it’s fun to joke about these stereotypes, let’s remember that they don’t define anyone. Not all short people are stubborn, just like not all tall people are gentle. Nigerians, regardless of height, are known for their resilience, wit, and ability to thrive in adversity.

So, what is your experience with short people especially the "Maltina bottle" guys?

Yes
Especially short women. They always see you as someone trying to take advantage of them

Yesterday I dey kitchen till almost 10.30pm
Cooked okro soup and Ofe Akwu for today's rice. With well seasoned beef

As I woke up happily to go an warm it and it was looking a bit swollen with tiny little bubbles popping up.

Hmmm maybe na prank
I turned around to check. But na my house so I no expect to see hidden camera.

Na so this banga take spoil.
The idea was to include some more veggies and stock fish to the stew this morning b4 dishing it into the storage containers for freezing.

Hmmm! *sighs deeply*

At that moment i wished I was a babe so I would have no excuses than to start crying like a child.

I legit felt like crying at that instant because WTF?! And fridge dey o

I had to go borrow a bigger pistle & mortar from a neighbour to get this stew done faster that yesterday and now it's spoilt?

This can't be true.
I just bent over the pot to perceive the aroma but... Nothing. No odd smells. But it's def going bad

Madd! 😠

Its over 3 hours now since I warmed it up again. I want to know if there's any solution to make it taste any better as it kinda slaps a bit and not so fresh any more


. I feel like calling my babe to ask for a solution but remember say I no get babe .. now I'm double mad! 😡 💢

Called mumsy and she advised to add some balls of charcoal to it.

I think I understand how women feel when they have drastic mood swings and go from happy to erratic in seconds. That's me rn.

I went from having the mental composure of Master Shifu (see Kungfu Panda) to that of a 3yo baby.

So now... Sunday lunch will be replanned.
Any remedy to the soup? Any hope

I'm omw to the market to get some charred coal. I'll check suggestions so I'll buy anything I need at once

This story no clear. Five times on a spot or five different occasions? Is she a rape magnet? Abi this one na lamba for sensationalism?!

Dumb....watch the whole interview. She mentioned that it happened at 5 different occasions. Online lo wa...we understand

Sheistoopretty:
I'm not surprised

What else are Nigerian men known for, aside gambling, r@ping, k!dnapping, stealing, doing drugs and rituals?

Nigerian men are very us€less.. to be honest, all of them

Nigerian women rape too, my gender just don't come out to say it.

Attention seeker.

Your dad died at 40...yet he also fought you for marrying your first husband.

During the fight between you and your father,how old was your father?...Assuming your father had you at 20yro,you were probably around 17 or 18 when you insisted you wanted to marry a particular somebody.

Who were those 5 people that raped you 5 times and in what circumstances?

I see Iyabo Ojo as an attention seeker..VERY HISTRIONIC!

Go n watch the interview doubting Thomas. His father had her in his 20s same way she had pricilia n his brother in her 20s

She got pregnant outside wedlock

@33, I'm more afraid of the future

So reality is dawning on me for the tasks ahead.

Presently 33 with N85k/month salary job

During my days in school, I had thought life will be far better after school but here I am earning 85k/month and that is money that cannot even meet my immediate needs and not to talk of wants and unto other responsibilities.

By age, I'm supposed to have been married but still living in one room which is not advisable to even think of marriage in this condition.

To arrange myself for marriage, I need at least a one bedroom, furnished and comfortable. The yearly rent for that is about 400-450k

Then I am also worried about renewing the rent every year, year and year.

How about catering for the family? Aside rent, feeding, school fees (once married, you begin to reproduce), medical, clothing and so so and so forth.

To live a good life, you need a car for mobility sake as a family.

I can't continue to pay rent. Meaning I need to build a house.

Obviously, the 85k salary is not enough. I need to start a business.

And so many other issues giving me stress and sleepless night.

So my worry is, where would i get the money to do all these with these kind of job i am doing? For years i may not even raise a million naira.

I have seen situations where people no longer able to change clothes just because they now have a family and I'm trying to avoid that by all means.

I'm really really afraid of the future.

I feel there shouldn't be any future.

Change your circle of friends. Open yourself to new opportunities and be diligent in what you have for now

Is she still married to the husband?

Sermwell:
I see both online and offline how people freak out at the sight of a celebrity. Some even go as far as rushing or grabbing them.

I have never been to any show, let alone wanting to go up stage to grab a celebrity. I saw how a young man was kicked by Burna Boy and I felt really disgusted because such nonsense can never happen to me.

Early last year, I was on the 6th floor at BUA Group headquarters in Victoria Island where I saw Tekno and Davido sitting down at the reception having a chat, I just greeted them and sat down. I also saw how every other person on that floor was minding their business and don't really give a damn about their presence.

When I told a cousin how I feel weird on how people go crazy at the sight of these celebrities, he said it's not normal but I strongly disagree with him. I even told him how some staff at BUA Group didn't give a damn about Davido"s presence, he insisted that they are not also normal.

Do you guys here share my views, or do you think it's not normal?

Nothing wows me, not even new car, clothes, etc
