justwise: Let say i spent £5 on fruit a week, £10 on meat and fish a week, £5 on pounded yam, £20 on lunch a week. £15 on coffee (£3 per day) £5 on water a week, that will only cost me £60. The list is to the extremely because no responsible foreign student spends that way.

£100 a week is ridiculous amount of money to spend a week on food and drink.

Foreign students spend more than that, bro.
Did you just say 5 pounds a week on fruits? Just 8 Pink Lady apples will set you back 5 pounds at Asda. And, it costs about 6.50 pounds at Sainsbury's.Did you know that?

justwise: Even if you eat Nigerian food everyday at the cost of £12 it will not cost you £100 a week to survive in the UK.

This is not true at all. 12 pounds a day is 84 pounds/week, bro. And that's just one meal per day.

justwise: 3+12++8+4= £27

+

Elubo/Poundo/Gari/Red Oil/Maggi/Vegetables = let say you spend £5 every week on each, it will cost you £30.

Total = £57

Does that come anything close to £100 a week? Even if you eat Nigerian food everyday at the cost of £12 it will not cost you £100 a week to survive in the UK.

Thanks.
Now, we are about to get there. We are @57 pounds, okay? Your calculation was based on the assumption that you visit all these places once a week. And that you have a drink at your uni once a week. So bro, how much do you spend on fruits? And water/juice/drinks?

We will get there bro. This is a system I really understand.

Again: If looking fresh/handsome/beautiful/full of life is important to you in the UK, you need 'bout 100 hundred pounds or more/week.

I know you, Justwise, spend more than 57/week

strangerf: ^^^ Dont wanna count my chickens before they hatch

They will surely hatch

How would you spend this money, Stranger?

Break what? She will will work assiduously to strengthen it.

strangerf: Trust me, I cant kill them.Dibu go kill them. Not studying is what go kill them. Cheating go kill them. Orijo go kill them. Upgrading go kill them. Post-JAMB go kill them. I am just a catalyst. At the end of the day, I remain the same.

Dibu Ojerinde?

strangerf: Osamoje, the website says: UTME score too low, upgrading needed.

Omo, you badt oooo. Did you not study?

Hmm . . . just checked the site.

I remember how my friend spent all his earnings on Euromillion.

If I win, you get a milli

You have to win. I hope that's a mill USD?

A medium cup of coffee at Costa is about 3 pounds. Even the cheapest oulets will still set you back at least 1.50 pounds. Don't tell me you have never bought coffee in any of these shops.
Once a week visit to a Nigerian restaurant will cost you at least 12 pounds. Even your local pub (And I sulk at alcohol, so I don't). Or you simply don't socialize?

Twice a week dining out in your college will at least cost you 8 pounds. You can't live on bags of crips everyday let's be sincere, guys.
How much do you spend on Elubo/Poundo/Gari/Red Oil/Maggi/Vegetables/etc? Ask those who visit Macdo/KFC/etc (I don't), a meal there will set you back 'bout 4 pounds. So, how do you do it?
C'mon bro.

justwise: £100 a week for how many people? What type of food will you be spending £100 a week buying? Do you shop in Harrods?

Okay, how much do you spend a week? How much do spend on fruits? How much meat/fish/yam/etc do you buy a week?
Besides, do you eat at home 24/7? Do you take your soup full of locust beans to work/college?
You don't buy coffee/tea/water in shops at all no matter how cold/thirsty you are? You don't eat out at all - no matter what?
How much do you expend at your local Sainsbury's/Asda/week? Do you drink only concentrate juice/etc?



I really need you to explain?

Stranger, you go kill these kids oo

strangerf: ^^^

Did you play Professor?

No bro. Please, let me in on it. How do I play it?


And, I don miss you tire oo. Itching to hook up bro.

Stranger, you dey blank me?

Sup sup, Stranger? I am always with you.

salsera: let me see how to survive on 30pounds per week?

No chinese or lebanese takeouts
Buy all drinks in large bottles and fill out small bottles to take around during the day
Buy snacks in bulk to take around during the day
No sandwich or coffee shops

Main meals are at home

30pounds too much sef for feeding

I dont even live there yet but after all these trips as tourist me sef no how to work budget

30 pounds a week?! Are you kidding me? I don't think it's possible to survive on less than 100 pounds a week. Except you want to look drawn. You want to start buying those tasteless chicken, abi? What about fruits? How many do you eat/day? Abeg jare.

Come back here let's do the maths.

This is a regular exercise in the UK. It is called fire drill.
Besides, the alarm has to be tested every week.

It's part of HS and it's a must.

^^
Will visit you soon oo

^^Stranger, how are you?

^Lucky granite babe .

Hmm . . . babe is in the 40% tax band. What a lucky babe!

Top earner. You dey represent oo

^^^And the pay is swelling your account

collinsfbi: Watchout by 2015, she will start fighting for political power

Hmmm . . . Reminds me of a certain Aunty Dora

And, please do something about Online/Offline thingy, too. I would like to know when my Iyawos are online

Also, if you could change the way you present the time/date a comment/topic gets posted to that of NL1 format please do. Thus, instead of "2 years 5 days", for example, let's have "March, 2010." Instead of "2 hours 2 mins" let's have "04:42 AM". Maybe your main intention here is to eliminate the ambiguity of time zones


Besides, don't forget to do something about "Page 0." And, " 2 posts" when we have only 1 (the OP should not count). This fools one into thinking that the topic has had 2 replies.

Omo ni e joo as you do

Oluseun,

E.g.
A search for 'Seun' on NL1 would have yielded Seun's main posts. It is now muddled on NL2 as it just highlights posts where 'Seun' is mentioned. The search now mainly yields comments from those who have name-dropped 'Seun.'

2) A search for 'cheap cars' on NL1 would have yielded threads with 'cheap cars' stated as part of OP (mostly). Now, it only highlights where 'cheap', 'cars' and 'cheap cars' are mentioned. Some of the highlighted comments could (and would) be unrelated to sales of 'cheap cars.'


It used to be a very effective NL tool

Watch your weight!

Granite babe, how are you? Are you aiirite?

Oluseun, NL's "search" is not very effective.

naptu2: [b]3) FStranger(1-100) aka YStranger, StrangerF, Igbaodun, Ojogbontomoye, Papatosibe, Anti-Tpia, etc.

That is my Stranger for you. AKA Arsenalfc, Woetooam4j, Mitofag, Kingoflag(?), Mylotoxysloto , Iragbijiile, FStranger 1-1,000,000 , ZStranger 1-100,000. In fact, FStrangeretc . . .


Something tells me he was one of those impertinent kids in Jimoh Aliu films. I really love my Stranger. Itching to know him in real life.

Never has anyone been this brilliant and crazy.

Oluseun, please we don't want "page 0". let the numbering start from 1.


Also, if a thread has no replies/comments, then it shouldn't read "1 post". The main post (OP) shouldn't be given the tag "1st post"

Take care

DOB on CV? That's so last century.

You are doing a good job, though.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I pity the so-called 'developing nations.' She will only use that position to torment them.

She is an unrepentant Uncle Sam's poodle

I have to be sincere here. Yoruba ethnic bigots on NL are the worst. Igbos do respond but it is glaring they don't like what is happening.

The US and other Western nations will support her. She has been very good to them. She helped them to further their interest in Nigeria recently.


Oh, sorry, this position has been an exclusive preserve of US nationals since inception.

Sorry oo, Madam poodle
