My family is on a stock up budget of 50k monthly about 20k weekly out of pocket expenses for food,soups,snacks,take outs etc that brings us to a total of about 110k or roughly 120k roughly $90 a month......if you divide that by 30days,you have 4k per day for a family of 5.

A 1/4 bag of rice will take us a whole month,beans,garri,semo,amala,yam when its surplus,pasta,noodles,sweet potatoes which us quite cheap,plantain when surplus,pepper of 10k would last 2 weeks......Ile epo market is quite close to me and I often drive through mile 12 several times in a month where pepper,onions,potatoes and yam are quite cheap.

Provisions golden morn/corn flakes,oats,custard,eggs,sugar,milk

Snacks like biscuits,shawama,meat pie,bole,puff puff or donuts.

Proteins....majorly fish,pork,eggs.....we have really reduced our beef consumption due to its high cost which I always find annoying byvthe way......goat meat and turkey on few occasions.

Minimum wage in america is about $7.95 per hour while in Nigeria its about 70k a month but based on my observation the lowest income family should be bringing home at least 200k monthly in Nigeria as dual income......I see this and I have studied this.
Just imagine a supposed family man.......God really needs to call folks like this to himself, they are littering the ecosystem. Hopefully natural selection does.

The problem with Tope is that, she is not familiar with world dynamics and her scope is only confined to Nigeria!

Towards inflation, Nigeria is not the only country being impacted!

I am glad this is an open forum where we have far and wide personalities. In the major countries where Nigerians immigrate to, be it Canada, US or the UK, same question will always trigger same answers .

$10,000 was worth much more in 2015 than in 2026 right inside the US, and same applies to Canada and the UK.

Let use an essential commodity like petrol in the UK. The pump price was averaging 104p/litre in 2015 but now 157p/litre. This reflects across all boards and even higher on some other commodities.

A brand new base Toyota Corolla in the US cost $17k in 2015, it’s now $23k in 2026, and that’s a basic car for the common man to commute. Factoring interest rate in 2015 is far behind that of 2026, you know it’s a kill

No country in our bracket is making it easy for its citizens. These are international economic forces impacting the world.

I did will accept blames on behalf of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), that we have not moved towards self dependency. But that cannot be done in 8, 15 or 20 years? Change is a gradual and consistent process.

Our Great country has suffered from military and incompetent civilian rule. We have big challenges and why the global inflation is impacting us the most.

One thing I can guarantee is that, with the trajectory His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is steering Nigeria towards, it’s is guaranteed the best days are close, based on the sacrifices we making today.

The pain is enormous and that I am aware and also feel, but the bigger wins and accomplishments lies ahead.

Our generation will be remembered for the sacrifices we made towards a better Nigeria.
Lolz! He says he can't be done in 8,15,20yrs time. Just say you want live presidency for your baba so that it will be done, mtcheew

Don't people eat $100 dollar meals at a go,whats my business with that must i go to eat where they do......I also infered that 1k can still get you a decent breakfast to get you rolling for the day but you ignored that and started ranting,hows that arse licking should i be telling him where he must eat...... I don't understand your angst.....even if he is currently a govt official should he be earning pittance?
Your top comments sounded intellectually sound and then I scroll down and find this one, please analyse how ₦1k can buy a man a decent breakfast and by decent I mean a balanced diet one, not survival mode breakfast. I don't know why the concept of balance diet skips the Nigerian Brian when the talk dwindles down to a singular meal, one egg is ₦250 fgs sake, that's 25% of that ₦1k 🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

₦10,000 can feed a family for several days?

In what Nigeria exactly?

Sir, have you entered a market recently without cameras, protocol, or people rushing to impress you because you work for government? Have you personally priced rice, tomatoes, pepper, oil, garri, noodles, bread, and cooking gas with your own salary outside government privilege?

Transport alone can swallow ₦3,000–₦5,000 in one day for some workers depending on where they live. So what exactly remains to “feed a family for days”? Air?

A mudu of rice is expensive. Beans is expensive. Yam is expensive. Even sachet water now behaves like imported luxury. So where is this magical marketplace where ₦10,000 stretches like the widow’s oil in the Bible?

And what kind of family are we talking about here? Two adults and three children? Or a theoretical family that survives on hope and economic grammar, the one that is written in economics textbooks?

This is the problem with many people in power. They no longer experience prices; they experience reports. They no longer feel hunger; they analyse it from conference tables and assume statistics equal reality.

You say Nigerians should stop “sensationalising” hardship. But is hunger now a sensation? Is it propaganda when parents skip meals so their children can eat? Is it exaggeration when people buy rice in cups instead of bags? When sachet spice city replaces tomatoes or when crayfish replaces fish or meat in the food?

What is painful is not even the statement itself. It is the confidence behind it. The complete disconnect. The illusion. The facade. The Audacity and temerity to brandish such empty words from the comfort of An AC.

Because anybody who truly understands the current weight of this economy would never casually say ₦10,000 can feed a family for several days without explaining whether the family is cooking stones and seasoning the aroma or just boiling water for meals.

Nigerians are adapting already. They have adapted into trekking. Adapted into borrowing. Adapted into removing meat from soup. Adapted into darkness. Adapted into survival mode.
Some people here will agree and say of course 10k is enough, I certainly recommend therapy and if possible deliverance from Poverty and Bad governance.

Thank you.

It's a pity your childhood was poverty tainted to think of this.

So for days, Na only garri? And do they still sell 2k worth of meat?


Some of you are so ignoramus and always end up proving it in a bid to look smart.

Whats your business with how much he spends for breakfast are you within the same income threshold.....several upscale restaurants are opening all over the country on a daily basis and several budget ones are also very much available.......a thousand naira can still get you a decent breakfast and 10k might not be able to get you same depending where you go.
Since he knows not everybody is in the same income threshold, why is he putting himself as a common man

You don't know this people. You may even find out that he does not stay in Nigeria. They are so religious, waxing lyrically when comparing Nigeria and the western world on the cost side but will go silent on the earning capacity side. Many food items have left the food menu of Nigerians but these dishonest bunch will still blame Nigerians for their condition. These people are undertakers.

Maybe who you want is not who has "been put there", but who is there was elected by the majority of voters who wanted him there.

So, next time, make sure who you want gets the most votes to be put there. That's democracy.
