Acidosis:Seems like most people including you misunderstood that lady. I don't eat out too but anytime I do with my family, I bite my nails cos it's very expensive to eat quality meal outside. Add a bottle of wine and it keep on increasing. I was so sick to get up from bed one day and prepare salad of which I had ingredients in the fridge so I ordered. What I paid was astronomical and ingredients not as much as I would have added. So yep, If you take yourself out to eat, you can spend that much in good and quality restaurant. That lady didn't lie. |

descarado: Ohh... I see. I haven't watched the entire video. You are right though. Eating out can be very expensive reason I personally wouldn't expect adolescents/youths to prioritise eating out regularly instead of preparing their own meals. I recently came across a Domino's jollof rice and pizza combo ad and decided to place an order. I was just drawn to the fact that sapa has made Domino's "abandon" pizza for Nigerian jollof The taste was super cool. But, as always, I was disappointed with the portion I got. It was more like a serving suitable for a 2-year-old. Na why I don't bother myself. Of course, I know places where people get bigger portions for cheaper amounts, but due to personal reasons like trauma, I don't bother myself.. |

Acidosis:Juvenik wuse 2 was my restaurant of choice when I was in Abuja. Very close to my house and their soup is the best I have ever tasted anywhere in naija, be it buka, mama put etc, and a plate of soup is very big. I think they purposely made it like that cos unmarried people living around go and buy, scoop out and freeze the remaining. As long as they have swallow, a plate of soup from there can last one 3 serving. It was cheaper buying their expensive soup for singles if you do the math. Its a good place to mingle too for singles if you understand what I mean. Believe me, if you don't like eating that much, arrangements like that are cheaper. If you want to cook and consider cooking cheap in Abuja, you must shop in bulk if you live in areas like wuse and environs else it will be the same as eating out. I hardly shop in wuse market though its like 5 minutes walk from my house. Na politician wives and girlfriends market Here for example,making a full naij dish costs an arm and leg. Single eat out most times. No gas or electricity bill skyrocketing. Eating out has its merits and demerits. |

descarado: Haha, it seems like you've had quite a range of experiences. Where are you currently based? Personally, I don't have much experience with eating out as I tend to be quite selective. I find the idea of ordering all those plenty soup that can last for several days quite appealing, even for individuals with families (there are days when to cook dey tire pesin). And honestly, wifey suppose dey take multiple breaks from all those kitchen wahala. Wuse na big man place abi? I dey respect myself and my finance a lot My recent experience was at Garki and it wasn't bad at all. The place I stayed at offered a decent plate of poundo yam or semo with protein for N2500-N3000. At times, I reluctantly resort to Chicken Republic rice or snacks. I use the term "reluctantly" because, in my opinion, Chicken Republic serves some of the wackest jollof rice I've ever tasted. I don't mean to denigrate the brand sha. At least, I like their chicken pie and coke 1 Like |

Zigzagman: Dey play. Chicken Republic dey sell Spaghetti and egg. Those big Spaghetti strands, Dangote type Dominos jollof is surprisingly nice; gives this smoky flavour. Competition is making the whole pizza thing very difficult now. Customers don run go debonairs and dodo pizza. 1 Like |

Acidosis:I am a complete wazobia But left Nigeria some yrs back. Igbo, grew up in pH, schooled in East, served in Abuja, wedded in maiduguri, while schooling did biz in kano, lived in abj, got transfered to lagos, moved back to abj and out of the country. There are other states in between. Have met great people, some of these thieves( sorry to say that) were present at my wedding, while some were regular visitors at my house. Have entered some places and circles that well...., at my age...... let me just leave there so when I share stuff, it's from experience or what I learnt from seniors. I was roommate during my first Yr with a daughter of one time deputy governor of your state and whenever he visits, it's bountiful. He usually pay surprised visit and I was around two times. The money I got was enough to last me for a whole semester not to talk of foodstuff. Man just dey share roommates money anyhow cos we are his daughters roomies Wuse is like ikoyi of old. I multi cook and freeze so I don't cook always especially soup. I also buy all ingredients in bulk. Hate shopping. Even pepper. I buy that in carton If you have steady electricity, get 2 freezers and buy things in bulk during their seasons. Very economical. And will reduce high BP 2 Likes |

descarado: That's quite a longgg journey you've had. The environment one lives in really plays a huge role sha. That's one thing I have come to realise. It's almost impossible to meet certain people if you live or attend some "kain schools" It's great that you've found ways to be resourceful and save money. The convenience that comes with bulk purchases is something I have come to embrace too. Going through your store, fridge, etc. and seeing things leaves a very lasting satisfaction. In fact, I don't like to be known as "customer daada" (like a regular customer) |

Acidosis: In times when everyone is pennypinching, watching broke people piss away their discretionary income on food, is quite hard to swallow. |
Re: They All Mocked Her, Until FG Removed Fuel Subsidy. by Zigzagman: 1:41pm On Jul 14, 2023 |

Re: They All Mocked Her, Until FG Removed Fuel Subsidy. by Dimaya: 4:47pm On Jul 14, 2023 |

descarado: Can you please give a breakdown of how you go about stocking your freezers, how much do you spend? which markets you buy from? and how long does it last for? I'm very interested. |

My take: 1. A lack of good job will definitely make u loose control in your relationship 2. Women worldwide knows that he who pays the piper dictate the tunes so they will control you as long as u do not contribute as much as they do in the home. 3. If as a man for any reason u earn less than ur partner, u have somewhat lost respect. 4. If at the beginning u were earning more and somehow by twist of faith she begins to earn more, same rule applies, u will still loose ur respect. 5. Women these days have equated submissiveness with u having to provide. If u no fit provide, then u have lost ur respect and dignity as a man! 6. Women are the same worldwide! If u think u will leave one because of the above reasons, I can tell u for free that u are a joker |

nairaland members don't give advice they look for your mistakes and judge you according. If you don't have one, like typographical error they will always manufacture one psychologically to taunts you. |
