This is the most foolish thing I have seen anyone type. So because America have homeless people, we should lay down and follow them to have homeless people? Why can't we be our own standard? Must we follow the world just because it's how it is over there?
That is even beside the point.

What % and number of Americans are homeless, extreme poverty paupers compared to the % and number of Nigerians huh

noo....but be honest to yourself atleast....

its a lie to think only nigeria is doing bad....

kenya ehn....you wouldnt believe it....but they dont cry it all over the place to everybody....
You are a dense fellow for comparing Nigeria to Kenya.

Nigeria's economy is larger than Kenya's, and is driven by the oil and gas sector:

Nigeria's GDP at $397.3 billion compared to Kenya's $87.9 billion

In 2023, Nigeria's GDP grew by 2.74%, while Kenya's real GDP expanded by an estimated 5.4%.

Me self dey under this kind pressure..... My last set of children are twins and I spent almost 20k alone on their diaper monthly. That's minus food oooo and other expenses oooo plus I already have 2 sons before who are already in kindergarten. So it's not easy. For salary that is about 100k plus....

Please you are going off point, the topic is young Nigerian families struggling to survive. We don't give a damn about the rate of beggars in Nigeria to America. We need practical solutions to deal with our issue not comparison.

Go for cloth diapers, except you're going out with the baby for the day.
For baby food, govt. needs to remove all tariffs and taxes on them.
You're aware you'll need to apply powder to prevent baby rashes right? Plus the cloth diapers will still wet the babys skin

Nobody forced you to have kids. Yeye dey smell.
Seriously? Even a family earning 400k can barely survive. Mind you, 150k was enough for this same family before BAT came. Now, they can barely make do with all their monthly earnings. No more money to invest in projects because all your money goes into fuel and food!

you should be running for your life not settling down to make babies.
They have already sent the message that this is only thier world now, not for everybody.
By the time your nation has civil servant terrorists and you still dont get the message.
Only them are allowed to have children now, not you.
The world ended for normal people when they lined up the population to take the jab.

Thy telling you in everyday they can that the show is over tribulation style, and youre still settling down making babies.
This must be the thin line between duty and selfishness, bringing children to a government with terrorists inside, who has already lined up the population to take depopulation jab.

All over the world people are fleeing to the mountains building bunkers etc.
The only people allowed to settle down and build family now is them, not you, unless you hate your child or you want to give birth to someone you can use as house help. The child you love more than yourself no longer belongs here, thats only for then now.

THat is why you cannot afford diper as they slowly boil the frog, you think they playing cause the water is just warm for now. The world ended for normal people when they rolled out that jab

20k for twins monthly

Thats roughly 200 pieces plus or minus depending on the size.

You guys are really managing the diapers well.

Twins? The Lord is your muscle.

Its tough for struggling young parents to raise babies now, with baby formulas going North of 20 -50k for 400gm.

You add diapers, cots and other essentials. Many are choosing to stay single and childless.

Are you slow or something?
I don't consider minimum wage earners as earners. It's evil to pay anyone the current minimum wage.

Back to my previous post which you refuted, I'll use Buhari's bill cost to explain to you.

Fuel for 1 month=40,000
1 month electricity bill=5,000
1 big Kisskids Diapers=3,500
3 units 1kg Milo=5,700
4 tins of Nan 2=7,600
Bag of Rice=30,000
Bag of Corn=13,500
20 mudus of Beans=14,000
5 liter of G/nut oil=3,000
1 carton of Indomie=4,400
30 Bag of Pure water=6,000
12.5kg cooking gas=6,500
==139,200


Under BAT
Fuel for 1 month=200,000
1 month electricity bill=30,000
1 big Kisskids Diapers=9,500
4 tins of Nan 2=33,600
Bag of Rice=100,000
Bag of Corn=76,000
20 mudus of Beans=60,000
5 liter of G/nut oil=22,000
1 carton of Indomie=14,600
30 Bags of pure water=12,000
12.5kg cooking gas=17,500
==575,200


If I use Jonathan's regime to compare, you'll nearly weep because fuel for the month was around 18k. Rice was 7k, beans was 3k for 20 mudus, etc!

I repeat, 150k was enough for a family of 5 under Buhari, but even 400k can't do what that 150k could do under BAT. Mind you, 50k could achieve this same thing under GEJ!!!

Chill bro, things will get better, soon. Don't lose hope.

1. Buy foods in Bulk, got to village markets if you can, foods are cheaper there.

2. Buy some perishable foodstuffs from night markets if there's any in your area, you're likely to get it cheaper

3. Find an alternate source of income to augment your current earnings.

All will be well
