So I went to purchase some household items at a popular joint in Ikotun. I requested for four painters of garri and was told 10k!! I had to repeat my request that it was four painters and not half bag oo. The seller smiled and confirmed the price.
WTF!! 10k for just four painters of garri, that means a painter will go for 2k.
I sadly had to cut my budget to meet up with the money I had at hand. On my way home, I kept wondering how ordinary Nigerians like us will survive if things keep on skyrocketing like this.

Pls anyone with a better idea on how to survive this harsh economy should help. For the record, I don't and can't do yahoo so pls don't suggest it.

It is horrible in Nigeria now especially with nepa.
The heat is killing and nepa/phcn or whatever they call themselves are making it worse and life so unbearable!!!!

Who will save us in this country!!!!

Apc has finished this economy. Foodstuffs are very costly. Half painter of rice is now 2,500 naira. Nothing is cheap even egg is 120 naira. One painter of garri is 1,600 naira. I can’t even save, chai!

sherylbaky:
I need to move to your area egg is 150 here and good foreign rice goes for 5500 not 5k, tho u'll get the one of 5k too.

The one that shocked me most was garri the last time I priced it.

You priced only garri and you are shouting do you know 5k can not make a pot of soup that can serve a family of 5 for 2days infact in my house if we want to take pap for breakfast i spend close to 4k for just 5 people(me & wife + 3 children), some times i wonder how family of more than 5 people survive.

Obviously, your brain contains only 1 coin...not even up to 2 coins.

You are still calling Jonathan, why didn't you call Obasanjo or Abacha or Nnamdi Azikiwe.

Foolishness no dey tire some people.

Things are so crazy


I am a single guy, I earn between 400 - 500k monthly

But I can't even feed properly because before I remove my mom's weekly upkeep, my rent which I save monthly, my tfair, my nepa bills, data , tips for my fiancee. I am left with barely nothing to save.

I don't club, I don't keep large friends, I don't womanize, I am not fashion freak, I don't even drink yet.

That was what I thought until I went thru his past posts and saw he meant it....crazy people
