Nilon: True oo. There was one I watched that was caught on tape ...though na for oyibo land. He was working in an eatery and was spitting severally into what he was mixing. When he was interrogated, his excuse was "i was having a bad day". 2 Likes 1 Share |

You want to be eating out when minimum wage is 30k? You spend more when you eat out. And more also, you won't always feel satisfied unlike when you make your own food. |

ashewoboy: Nothing beats cooking. When you buy food, you attract hunger (cos it won't fill you), anger (cos they won't cook to your taste) and possibly, illness. |

The question every young man and woman growing into adulthood will have to answer. And over time I have come to discover that there are no answers set in stone because life varies in time and space, so there will never be a better choice over any extended period of time and over ever opportunity and location where one will find himself. Makes me come to the conclusion that wisdom is somewhere in between and it comes in the form of: contract catering. Home made cooking but with the advantage of a personal touch but with the expertise of cost effectiveness, and with little or no overheads. A lot of working class families are now adopting this option. |

OvertheTop: The foodstuffs mentioned above are even at the exaggerated side, you can't exhaust them in a month unless you have ghost or some unseen spirit eating with you. Even if you are eating only rice everyday half bag of rice will still last past one week, let alone combining the rice with semo, yam, bean, eba and all. Everything just requires planning, even if you're a programmer. Maximum is for you to use 18 hours of your 24 hours for the programming which will not even be at a stretch. Remember, the topic focuses only on cost effectiveness not looking at strees or whatever. The talks on programming or not is another discussion entirely. Gotten? 1 Like |

ajog1: Your are woke man. When you are in a new area, eating out will help you know what's going on. You meet new people, even the spot you normally go to eat, they can help you solve some problems, give you some guidelines. You will hear something like: "I have a customer that is good in that area, he comes to eat by afternoon, I will get his contact or you drop yours" While I was still in Nigeria, I entered a restaurant in Uyo to have some lunch one hot afternoon. A young girl serving there walked up to me smiling. she inquired what I care to have, I told her.." ataama soup or vegetable anyone is okay" She served me and after eating I brought out money, she said no, that she just like me, that she will pay with her money. I was like "holy gram" I declined. I insisted I must pay. Fine ebony matured girl. The next day I gave her my contact. She called that evening. Guess what? You guess is as good as mine 1 Like |

DonMaxxy: You are making sense. People will not let me be. They are all saying I should buy gas and start cooking. I don't like the stress of cooking. I like fresh food. I like varieties. If I want to buy food at all, I will buy rice and beans in bulk, then perhaps spaghetti and noodles. Who get time to dey cook soup?. Na jollof everything I go dey eat. Maybe I should combine both. I'm trying to cut cost. |
