afrodoc2:I don’t know if I mentioned it here earlier this year or if it was on another platform; the new model/formula being employed by Nigerians to weather the storm is called BBS : Beg , Borrow or Steal . BEG : A lot of people have sadly resorted to begging just to augment their income to be able to afford their basic needs. People literally beg you at the door of restaurants , supermarkets , in church , in markets where u want to buy food items and even at bus stops for bus stops where u are about boarding a bus. About 2 months ago one young boy approached me when I was about to enter a restaurant to get food. The boy was hawking Okirika shoes and bags ; he asked I that give him money to get food because he hasn’t made any sales and he’s very hungry . I feared he was probably lying and would gamble with the money so I took him to one of attendants to sell him porridge and meat( cos I felt porridge will fill him ) . Omo! I was shocked with the way the boy rushed the food after he was served . I had to give him 1k after paying for the food and left. BORROW : A lot of people have borrowed money from Opay, Palmpay and all those soft loan app companies to the extent that they now have negative credit score. That’s why if u are in naija , u will surely get calls from those loan apps making threats and asking u to tell ur friend or relative to pay them back their money with interest. Even people u never thought would ever be in such embarrassing position have no choice but to borrow when bills choke them. Unfortunately those loan companies are very crazy and will go to any length to embarrass their debtors . I’ve narrated how two different companies called me in respect of someone in the past. I know someone who got married to a relative , these useless loan apps sent one of their threatening messages to his mother-in-law that she should tell him to pay back his loan or they will deal with him 🤦♂️ STEAL: Petty theft is massively going on lowkey but being underreported in the media . Late last year ; in the very house I stay , one guy stole one of my neighbor’s cooking gas cylinder . Our landlord doesn’t allow anybody to keep their cylinder indoors so when u move in, u are expected to fix ur cylinder outside while u run the gas indoor with a hose . The neighbor’s son got home from school that day , wanted to warm the food his mum prepared in the morning and noticed the cooker wasn’t responding when he switched it on. The boy checked outside and didn’t find the cylinder so he called his mum. When the mum came back from work she confirmed what the boy said on phone that the cylinder is nowhere to be found. Fortunately we have CCTV in the compound so we asked Landlord to review the CCTV footage so we can really know what happened fir the sake of our safety going forward . Lo and behold ; we saw one middle aged man walk through the compound gate around 1.30pm in the afternoon when nobody was at home. The guy was well dressed and doesn’t even look like a thief in any way. He walked straight to where the cylinder was, removed regulator, picked it up and exited the compound with it. Omo! I’ve never seen such smooth operation before in my life . What remained a mystery till date is whether the guy had a key which he used to open the small gate from outside or whether someone carelessly didn’t jam the gate(it’s a jam gate that can only be opened with a key from outside ). We had to change the gate’s lock the next day because we don’t know if the guy still has further mission in the compound . Till date I have not seen anyone that looks like that guy in passing , because CCTV caught his face . This happened last year o, only God knows the kind of stealing that is going on lowkey in different areas now. I’m sure if such thieves are apprehended , they will claim it was hardship that pushed them into stealing . |

afrodoc2:People keep adjusting. One time a woman I saw in the market asked how much I bought pepper. When I told her, she said this is why she no longer buys. She said she now uses grinded pepper because it's cheaper. People walk a few kilometers and take public transport to complete the journey. Parents park their cars at the school in the morning, use public transport to go to work and back, use the car to take the children home. I also shared the story of a woman who went to the bakery to buy bread because it's 40 or 50 naira cheaper. And lastly, loans. Almost everyone lives on loans. If it's not GTBs one year loan, it is fairmoney, branch and the likes. And they hardly pay back until they are forced to when they need another loan and they can't because they have outstanding loans. |

BlueRayDick:there are so called 'computer cut' keys that are supposedly more difficult for locksmiths to work with. your regular padlock key can be cut in less than a minute . (then again if you follow lockpicking lawyer on youtube..) also people are careless. when workers are in the house i move the keys from their usual place because it is likely easy for someone with bad intentions to but the key in putty and get its impression. the real problem though is you are sharing a compound with multiple people and there is a limit to how you can police them. Also your security guys can be in on it |

semid4lyfe:The renewed hope that touched our foreign reserves will touch pack of indomie too This is a sign that things are getting better. Mobilize your friends and family to vote for continuity in 2027 and you will see miracle |

Ellexy:The price of indomie is what he stated, if you cant afford it there might be options you can afford. At what age did you start eating indomie? Did you die all those years you didnt eat it? |

Ibime:Truth. Most families eat fish as the main source of protein and it was with lunch. And who will give you more than 1 piece of meat/fish for 1 meal? Almost everyne here posting did not use diapers, they used cotton nappies. which you will rewash for reuse Golden morn or corn flakes for where? Na pap steady and akara. Then when harvest season comes na Yam. Na when Abacha times reach na that time I begin see people cook cassava to eat. Apparently there was a type of cassava that's safe to eat Cooking gas for where? Na Kerosene stove in Abacha years we migrated to sawdust, firewood and charcoal NEPA taking light na normal occurrence, You will have days off where your light wont come on for 1minute, then days on where you light will come on for some time and they will take it like 10 times.. You wont even bother with putting stuff in freezer cos NEPA will destroy your full pot of soup, everything na cook chop and finish in 1-2days Most of the CL finals in the 90s I no watch the full games because NEPA will surely strike and then I wasn't old enough to stay out till late when the games will finish. So max watch 1st half and run home to wait for NEPA or listen to Larry Echiejile the following morning for scores CL final 2001 I was living around Otigba street in Ikeja, No light for 1 week. Na for under bridge the following morning I found out that Bayern won I remember now, there was something called "Half current/Low voltage" where you have to look at your bulb to know if light dey. That counted as a light on days |

Itsrm:In the 80s and 90s, trekking na normal thing for almost every student. Trekking was even so fun that when they give you money for transport you will rather pocket it and trek with your friends where you will find orange by the roadside and kick it for 2-3km. Of our teachers in secondary school only Principals, VPs and wife of rich men had cars which was about 5% of the teaching population so everyone including teachers na trekking |

GloriousGbola:Between me and you, I am 99% sure the thief gained access into the compound due to carelessness of one of my neighbours but he denied it when myself and another neighbor suggested it. Here is why: The particular neighbour had someone work on his AC a week before the incident and the AC's location outside is not far from where the cylinder was stolen. When we showed the neighbor the CCTV footage to confirm if the guy is one and same with the AC guy, he denied (albeit unconvincingly). I think he knows the guy but he doesn't want to be seen as the person who brought a thief into the compound. The thief most likely took his key when he came to work on his AC, used the chance to scan the environment and then figured a period when everyone will be out of the premises. |

raumdeuter:And in generations before ours, kerosene stove was luxury and people trekked a village away to attend school. Maybe you'd need go back to the stone age to prove that things could or were worse. The point is people are saying that despite current technological advancements, their lives are a lot harder than they knew it only 10-15 years ago, and while mobile technology and other trappings of technological advancement are better than what they were several years ago, there's the understanding that basic needs are starting to look like luxury. Or maybe when Trump says Make America Great Again he's means he wants to take the country back to the good old days of public telephone lines or even Horse drawn carriages. |

Itsrm:Two more additional points. 1. Re-use of one use disposable items - I took my wife's pap ingredients to her customer to grind in one of those public-yard compounds. While I was there, one of her neighbours brought out her baby to bathe. She removed the diaper which baby had pooed in, removed the poo and cleaned the diaper with soap and water and hung it on the line to dry. 2. Piecemeal Buying - I didn't know diapers were sold in pieces until this year. I was at a neighbourhood store and a lady came to buy a diaper. Shop owner said it was N150 but she had only N100. I asked him how much the 9pcs pack was and he said N1100 so I told her to pick that and added it to my bill. |

Theflint1:The point is that if you don't grow organically and living a fake life, it will eventually catch up like it caught up with us in Nigeria, Where we get things we couldn't afford and the debt has caught up with us. Our Math is no longer Mathing |

Ihebu4chelsea:You use what you can afford is the issue. If you can afford gas buy it, if you cant use what you can. When me dey use firewood some in the same Nigeria were using gas. When I was trekking 3km to school daily, some kids my age had drivers who will take them to school, park and wait till they finish school, some were traveling abroad for summer break. I remember when someone told me Atlantic Hall school fees was like N30K around late 80s or early 90s. I could not believe it when ordinary #40 to #100 school fees some couldn't afford for school fees, where was there conscience then? Outside Nigeria is the headquarter of cutting your clothes to what you can afford. Grown men dey waka inside snow, they turn off heat and sleep in 5 layers of clothes because they can't afford to pay heat There are so many things I will love to have today but I cannot and I made peace with it |

Ballzproblem2:Aww snowflake Don Lemon is leaving Twitter because his candidate lost an election. These people are so immature. So why do they want to continue living in the US when people who dont agree with them or vote their candidates are still there |

raumdeuter:Nothing is cheap, Firewood is expensive, Kerosene is worse, People just want to survive.. okay tell me what do you use to substitute garri? I guess garri was luxury while you were still here. There's nothing to adjust any longer |

When did food turn luxury items that it determines if people are living a fake life or not I don’t understand this thing oo |
