What kind of food do you guys eat. Even if you eat two chicken of 20k each every week, thats still 160k for protein. How una take dey chop 400k?
Na wa for you ooo. He's not a poor man. You're analysing poor people feeding.

His own is even small.

Your level is not up to his own bro. Go and make money

If he spends N160k on only protein, do you think N450k will be enough for his expenses in a month?

So N290k is enough for foodstuff, light, alternative power, transportation, black tax (if any), responsibilities in his house/ church/ mosque, child care, and other miscellaneous expenses.

It seems you guys need to link us up. There must be a Nigeria behind this Nigeria we are living in.
Nigerians are robbing themselves.
Most families are spending like half of that monthly but they don't know.
Country is hard yet, go joints, shopping malls, etc and you will see people there chopping money.
Ask them how they're surviving they'll tell you things hard ooo.
Things hard but your phone alone is from 300k.
Things hard, but your phone screen break today, the next day you don fix am with 40k. All of you are criminals.

There's just 30 days in a month

Do you expend per capita daily, plus extra 2 meals for yourself?

The summary is very simple.
The cost of living via inflation is outrageous and a world away from what this country was just a few short years ago when we thought things were bad and hard.

And that is why yours sincerely continues to berate this government for it's inability or as some speculate it's sinister intention of not fighting inflation perhaps so that the people can remain poor and pliable.

But in all folks, remember that sound nutrition is as important to you as an individual as it is to a nation. Excesses will cost you dear in terms of medical bills and will strain the country's healthcare system.

But malnutrition is just as bad, even worse as it will lead to lasting developmental damage particularly to children and will eventually limit life expectancy.

Food is not only satiating and needed for growth and development of the human body. It is also the first line medication to defend your body against illness and disease.

So please limit your compromises and fight for a better, healthier country.

Are you wise at all ?

michlins:
I only pointed out an attribute he has and it's not an insult. An average meal in a family is like 7k multiplied by three times is 21k. Multiply for thirty days, you should see that the op isn't exaggerating.

So tell me, how did pointing out the lack of wisdom in his life an insult

Re: My Last Month Total Expenses Just Feeding A Family Of 3 by Hhh4444: 1:12pm On Jul 05
Op you even Sabi manage self. No mind those when dey pretend say e too much for 3 people.Nigeria hyperinflation is just too much for an adult to manage 150k monthly on food. Only tea,bread and egg for breakfast,you go spend reach 2500 for one person. Spend like that twice a day, that's 5k per person daily. Multiply that by 30days in a month,na 150k monthly on feeding one person....I no dey deceive myself. I say things the way they are.

You're the one that wish to spend such amount
But the amount there is still small going by today's price of commodity.
Or, do u want his family to catch kwashiorkor?

If Coldstone has actually becomes the rich men menu, it simply mean Nigeria is finished. No be ice cream 🍨

should I classify this as an insult or a question? Because that was exactly what I asked him and you picked an offense.

To answer your question, I am wiser than everyone in your family put together. Thank you

Animal protein and milk are essential foods for growing children.

In my household we consume at least 20kg of beef monthly , 6 crates of eggs (the wife likes to bake ,,and the kids get to have at least an egg a day for breakfast).

Then factor milk and beverages.

Breakfast is the most expensive meal in my house.

But then you need to buy cooking oils , vegetables and fruits.

For a household of 3 , the OP isn't exaggerating .

He is feeding his family well.
you are right. Since he can afford it no problem. To Feed well Na money oo especially fish, egg and fruits. I, for instance spend close to 100k monthly on fruits and nuts for myself alone. I therefore do not doubt that figure op dropped up there for a whole family.

You are not the real spender, but your brother and you are here calling someone who spent his real earned money "lies".

I have 3 kids, I can confidently tell you that I spent over 500k in a month.
Good at least not up to what the op said and again, if you want to run your home conviniently you go to markets and do local bulk purchases from the locals, it’s always cheaper that way

Thanks . I am into everything because of life challenges. Dis year alone I lost my Dad. Landlord sold his house ...I had to re rent my apartment again. It's such a tough one for me.
