➜The picture of what I saw there can only feed one man in present day Nigeria and not enough for a family of three.

I thought that too was only my eyes!

brain54:
What was said... "While the economy bites hard, small families can still start the day right, not with luxury, but with balance, creativity, and portion control.
It’s not about how expensive breakfast is, but how intentional it’s prepared"!

Are we conveniently ignoring the part where she attempts to invalidate the complaints of other wives?

...This thread is created to expose women to the possibility of eating healthy within a low budget.
Many of the financial frustrations which many families face today is because most wives bitterly complain of the insufficient funds provided by their husbands. Some wives don't know how to manage funds, everyday is not Christmas, so one should learn to work with whichever budget provided by their husbands. Do you think the breakfast in the photo costs less than 1000 Naira?

This is the exact same mentality adopted by many during the SAP era that led to what we have today, with 10s of millions literally unable to think their way out of poverty due to not getting better food to save their literally lives.

➜What is a healthy breakfast? You can't answer because you don't know why a meal is called healthy or not. Ask ChatGPT to guide you and balance your meals for a full day. It could even help you out for a week. You aren't getting the point of the post. Eating healthy and spending wisely Moi Moi, Pap And Milk this food combo is very healthy.
➜🍽️ The Combo: Moi Moi + Pap + Milk. Moi Moi – made from beans (a rich source of plant protein, fiber, iron, and essential amino acids).
Pap (Akamu/Ogi) – made from fermented maize (mainly carbohydrates, provides energy). Milk – adds protein, calcium, and vitamins like B2 and D.✅ Health Benefits Balanced macronutrients:Protein: from Moi Moi and milk. Carbohydrates: from pap (energy source). Fat: small amount from milk (and sometimes oil in Moi Moi). Good for digestion: especially when pap is lightly fermented. [b]Iron absorption: the vitamin C [/b]in pap (if taken with fruits like orange) can help your body absorb iron from the beans.

Wow.... I literally have to give a grown arsed woman with a child a breakdown of why that thing there is not a healthy breakfast?

2. You claim you used ChatGPT to analyze the food, how? Did you feed the food into ChatGPT's mouth to get this drivel here? You have never read the labels on the foods you ingest, have you? 😂😂😂😂😂

⚉A can of processed evaporated milk— at least the one I have in my hands here— contains about 24g of protein in total(my guess is that number is probably 12g for the Nigerian kind you have, which is not even 1/4th of the daily protein need for a very healthy adult(assuming the person actually drank the entire can in just one day).

As for the nutrients you claim are contained in the spoon or two of milk, which you probably used in that meal, there is little, like only about 4% of your daily calcium requirement in that, which is barely anything. Each person literally needs to drink more than a can of evaporated milk per meal to come close to the daily required 100% for calcium.
⚉ Almost 90% of the protein found in beans is contained in the outer skin, which is taken off when making moimoi. That is to say that your moimoi barely gives you any protein. Yes, the amino acids and nutrients are literally in the skin, which is thrown out during the process of making moimoi.
⚉ Pap is pure carbohydrate. There is no vitamin C in pap, and the processing— the sifting —used in getting it to become pap literally strips it of every nutrient you would have been able to get had you simply consumed it in grain form.
⚉ Sugar is a carbohydrate.

So, yeah, again, what you have there is a poverty diet, not a healthy diet. And your attempt to use it in shutting the concerns of other wives out there is what is most deplorable.

➜It's very possible in my area.

That is not a healthy meal for an adult or even your child. That is a poverty meal, and in 2025, with all we know, we shouldn't be glorifying this in any way.

RevenuesBoost:
➜What is poverty? What meal deserves to be called a healthy breakfast? What is breakfast?What are calories? Does that baby look skinny or unhealthy to you? If eating healthy food or spending wisely is poverty to you, then...

Having children when you are not even able to eat well is the problem. Those meals you have packed there are chock full of sugars(carbohydrates are sugars) and not even enough of other essentials that children need for their growth, let alone adults(the average adult needs to eat about 60g of protein total every day).

You created this thread to make it seem you are better than other women who complain that their husbands are not bringing enough money for food to the home, when your own food is equally lacking, even with your supposed frugal eating habits. Instead of looking for ways to put other women down and invalidate their complaints, how about you go get yourself a job so you can begin bringing in comparable income into your home. Then your family and your child can get to eat healthier meals that you can then show other women how to prepare for themselves.

Stop glorifying poverty and suffering and backwardness!

➜When men father children outside their marriage, do they force the children on their wives to take responsibilities of them ? No

Actually, since many of those children are, in many cases, forced on the husbands of the women they cheat with. In a sense, many of those children are forced on the husbands of the women they cheat with.

Nonsense! This is literally an attempt at glorifying poverty and suffering! 😶😶😶

You are telling me that in the year 2025, this meagre meal is what you think a family with a child deserves to eat? Seems more like a meal for people who are counting calories. 😏😏😏

✓ I always wanted to breakup but could not summon the courage, now I have a very good reason to without being at fault
✓ Also am in advanced talking stage with another hot banny that has all the attributes I fantasize in a woman. Cheers

Why all this production for someone who you are not married to? Are you seriously without a life that you would think a break up with someone you literally caught cheating on you needs all of this planning? 🫤🫤

Ah, you already found someone else and are talking to us about this ex who cheated on you. Why? Wait a minute...since you're yet to break up with her, that means you are also cheating on her?

Look in a couple of weeks, we will enter 2026. Try to get your life and maturity sorted before then, so you stop posting these Stewpid threads at least.

Obviously, you didn't attend a private school.

Aren't private supposed to be many times better than public schools? Anyways, I did attend both and I can tell you that what you have now is nothing near what we had back during my time.

IsiahRashad:
✓ She actually did. Imagine

You know that the issue between you two is more than just this one incident. From your post, it sounds like she has been complaining to you about something for a while yet you have not been paying her much mind or doing much to step up in that area. I think it is best you both go your separate ways as she said.🫤🫤🫤

IsiahRashad:
I✓ In her defense, something similar has happened before, with me also sleeping off before she got home. I called, begged and tried to assure her it was a one off experience because I was tired from work. Which she actually knows how demanding my job can get
I actually love this girl, and value her (which she somehow doesn't believe.) But the thing is we've been fighting a lot lately. Right now I don't even know what to do. I don't think I have the emotional capacity for all these back and forth all the time.
I will appreciate your opinions on this, because a little part of me is just like whatever wants to happen should happen

It seems whatever it is is more than just this issue you are telling us of here. She says you should let her be. I suggest you do just that. 🥱🥱🥱🥱

VOsimhen144:
I understand, but Nigeria educational system has been built like that since time memorial, they want cheap labor in order to pay teachers peanut so atrocities like this are bound to happen.

No, it wasn't! When I was in primary school you couldn't be a teacher until after you had at least finished your education, NSE(I think that was what it was called then) and your NYSC. Substitute teachers were at least NYSC students. I can understand a 19-year-old babysitting toddlers/preschoolers and even that after serious vetting. But teaching? Heck no! 😩😩😩

Ashirioluwa:
There are substandard schools in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, and these schools only recruit substandard teachers.

Tufiakwa! And we dey here dey wonder why the education system seems to be nothing but a sheet hole! 😞😞😞

Ashirioluwa:
✓ In actuality, a number of these so-called elementary school teachers are either high school dropouts or do not even have a high school diploma.

Tufiakwa!😩😩😩

VOsimhen144:
long time ago, year 1999 - 2000 when I finished my secondary school education I was almost his age, i job a teaching job that paid me my first ever salary which was 7k. I taught primary 3 class.
Yes, u can get a job teaching Job with that age.

That you were able to should not be the acceptable norm given that by 19, most are not clearly educated enough to take on the role in a place like Nigeria. No wonder the education system is trashy. You have so many uneducated and clearly immature individuals teaching the children.

nurudeen181:
Yes of course. If my life is on the line, i wont abandon them because they're spouse and children?

Spousal abandonment is against the law. You could instead seek separation or divorce. Also it is criminal to abandon your children. Whether your life is threatened or not, you are there parent and are required to provide them support until they are of age regardless of where they end up.

My dear we all dream, till today whenever I dream of being at home it's always the house I grew up in not the present house i live in. Same with when I dream about my parents. It's always the once I knew from birth. A mother's niss doing should never be vented on the child

That may be your dreams but not mine. I don't dream of parents or fathers. So, your claim does not apply to me, and I believe to many others out there.

ANOTHER CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE GOING ON IN NIJERIYYA.... WE WILL NOT TAKE THIS

Ogbeni, I no be Christian.... I am irreligious, so tagging me as though to suggest that I take sides with any religious group out there will only come back to bite you hard!

On the issue of recent claims of Christian genocide in Nigeria, we are all aware that muslims have been killing other muslims for the longest. That didn't begin in Nigeria and will not end there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIIqCt3MRGs?si=hcAN_NfxVdOdxGb1
However, that shouldn't be a reason to turn a blind eye to the killings of people of other religions that are equally going on in Nigeria.

I wouldn't know since I have no dreams of a father or my father.

✓ If I come to discover that the man that I have known all my life is not my real father based in a DNA test, I will never stop loving him as a father and switch to the new discovered father.

feel. Fatherhood is not a noun it's a verb, he that stands as a father for me is my father, Also he that knows me as his father for birth to the age of realisation will be my child forever. Life is too short for all these biological nonsense. I am a man ooo for those that want to bash me

You will hold him as a father even if he was nothing but a cruel father to you before the discovery? 🥱🥱🥱

➜Please tell me more about this selling of body and how it works? I'm really interested, it's harmful?

Hookup culture in Nigeria is comprised of both males and females earning their way through the selling of their bodies. You should go out there to learn for yourself.

GreenCovering:
➜You failed to prove that Islam teaches men to marry daughter out at age 4, or, 6, or 9 or so minor ages. You failed to prove that Islam teaches trading of women for price. You failed to prove that Islam does not give a woman choice in her own marriage.
➜ All you do is latch on to what someone does which are affiliated to their customs or some individuals excesses, yet you want to control public opinion. You lack knowledge of what you are preaching about and your mentality is utterly sick. You should change your ways because lyeing against Islam will get you burnt in the end.

You lying about what the world knows Islam sanctions and approves, thanks to the example given them by the head Mohammedian himself, does not change the facts literally broadcast by Islam to all the world.(They are literally following his example here, yet you say it is all false.)

2. Again, you lying to yourself about Islam DOES NOT change the facts that have long been learned about Islam and its Sharia Law.

➜if your husband has fertility issues leave him, divorce him and marry another man, no need getting pregnant outside to prove it point. is the duty of a married woman who wants to cheat to protect herself from getting pregnant, that is if she must cheat.
➜when a man l cheats, he takes responsibility of the pregnancy or any ourcome of the cheating. But when a woman cheats she pins it on her husband to take care of, unsuspecting of the husband

Divorce him and marry another man... it is so easy for women in a country where divorced women are shamed and looked down on as though the scum of the earth by the menfolk and even among women? E de easy to pontificate when you have never been in their shoes.

2. According to you, when men cheat, they take responsibility, meaning the men responsible for the pregnancies the married women foisted on their husbands did take responsibility, abi wetin you dey talk?

grandstar:
➜Yes, it's not the same. There has been no bonding by the wife to the child of any kind
➜ On the other hand, there's been deep bonding by the man to the kids. So much emotional invested has been made that the children look up to him as "daddy."

This is not true. A child born outside of a marriage to just the man has literally no emotional or psychological bond with the woman in the marriage. However, a child born in the marriage, even if not from the man, grows up forming emotional and psychological bonds with both the man and woman in the marriage. The two situations are completely different.

2. That is only if the man had regular visitations with said child outside of the marriage.
