Please how can I manage 4k for a week? I have 2 kids, one is in primary 3, the other one is in nursery and they go to school each day. Will it be possible?
Please mothers on nairaland, how will you stretch it for 7 days especially when there's no foodstuff in the house.

ImaIma1:
The bolded is the MO of kobojunkie and default setting. He obviously lives in an ideal setting where things work out without much ado.

Kobojunkie it's not easy for everyone to get a job easily or start a business with the snap of a finger. She lost her job just two months ago, and the govt will not support till she gets a new job. It doesn't work that way in Nigeria.

Mariangeles:
Yes, you did.
Your comment was more of being too forward/interrogative/judgmental than asking a question out of genuine concern.

"Do you have a source of income/job?" Would've been more appropriate.

Kobojunkie:
You folks don't know how to keep your delusions to yourselves.

Why didn't you instead direct all you shoved at me here ag the women instead of trying to make it seem you and I are even on the same wavelength on these things?

Jeon:


Then why so quick to tag her to the housewife category in the first place since you knew nothing about her.. THANK GOODNESS SHE DON CLEAR THE HOUSEWIFE CATEGORY COMMOT FOR HER BODY before our oversabi landers go prey on her.



HALLELUJAH

Jeon:



Yes and you can never understand the statement I wrote because you wanna get out of ur trap.

Promzy99:
Ur reply was top notch nd matured. Sometimes, u females don't knw what men go through to make money. Every man's happiness is dependent on d happiness of his children nd wife( if d wife is a beta one). The OP Has plans of shaming her husband with replies 4rm dis post. But she 4got to tell us what d husband does 4 a living, despite d fact dat shes not even workin to contribute a kobo. A wise woman is meant to protect nd cover d interest of d family nd not to shame d family. Thank God d man brought 4k, u cn simply go into prostituition to top up d money. Useless wife. Na why to marry dey scare many men cos of women like OP.

Ishilove:
Op asked for advice from married women but people have turned it to presidential debate. Nigerians, I shake breast for una.

Grandmeister:

You're a man and I presume you're married too. You of all people should know women don't always tell the whole story, atleast not the part of the story that faults them! Passing judgement on a one sided account is unwise. Do you even know why the husband doubts her? You don't but you have assumed she's telling the full story and therefore the husband must be a heartless man.

Saintmary:
Just ask him to help you buy foodstuff on his way back home.

Tonyclems:

I don't know about u but sincerely no matter how insincere a woman is with her spending and no matter how much u earn as a man, 4k for a family of 4 in one week without other food stuff to support. Haba bro. If na ur sister u go talk like this. And how did u come to conclude women lie.

Kobojunkie:
4k is plenty money?

$8 to feed a family of 4 people in 7 days?

vickydevoka:

Man, if u don't have u don't have simple.

Dis days people give birth to 1 or 2 , I see no reason a lady will stay redundant.

What in the world are you still on about?

I don't know the employment status of everyone in Nigeria so the next best thing is to ask those I feel to ask. Common sense!

NoToPile:
People seem not to get the main issue

Her husband thinks she is lying that 4k can't be enough for the week. Even if he doesn't have that doesn't mean he should be in denial that 4k can't last a family of four ( without foodstuffs at home) for one week.

If you don't have , its understandable but don't make the woman look stupid like she doesn't know how to manage or something.

He should buy the foodstuffs himself with the 4k for one week if he thinks she's lying. If its only adults they can drink garri and water but little children is another ball game entirely oo

Only Half crate of egg is 900 protein for children, let's say quarter 450 naira.

As usual NL boys have started insulting the woman.

babyoy:
4k is small, but if you try my advice below it might help to an extent in saving cost.
1) prepare a big pot of concoction rice that can last for up to a week, and put it in d fridge, the kids can eat this for breakfast , while u buy fresh vegetables to accompany the meal .
2) also prepare a big pot of poridge beans for the week and put in different freezer.The kids can take a mixture of some beans and rice to school.A little quantity.
3) Make sure u also prepare a pot of soup and put in d freezer,preferably ogbono or egusi.divide d soup into 2 major portions .One portion can contain a particular vegetable, while the second portion can then contain another set of vegetables. The kids can eat this when they are back from school around 5.30pm, (you can give them a little snacks when they come back from school, around 4pm).
Use egg in place of meat.I believe the above can be of help.

Kobojunkie:
So isn't that what questions are for,to ascertain if anything could have indeed happened - this rather than speculating?

RockhouseCafe:
True!

But your question came across as rather insensitive and a bit judgemental. It could have accomplished more if rephrased. Cheers

Kobojunkie:
It accomplished exactly what it was meant to which is obtain me answers.

So, why should I give a flying fk whether someone chooses to react in a sensitive manner to the question or not? That has nothing to do with me or my question. Folks are free to react to whatever they want as they choose... that is not my headache to deal with.

RockhouseCafe:
Again, how old are you? I'm done with you. Go off my mention. Cheers

Golferty:



What kind of timetable is that? I planned on buying irish potato to fry for snacks but just a bottle of groundnut oil will finish the money.
Please I'll be happy if you can also draw a timetable for me
I will show my husband this thread so he can see what everyone thinks of the amount he gives me.
