How Have You Been Able To Survive This Unfavorable Economy? Share Your Experienc by lanicky(op): 9:54am On Jul 22, 2016

We all know Nigeria economy has not been favourable to many.. Believe it or not, some have died due to hunger.

Some of us have not been doing anything to make the economy better.. Instead, we prefer to cast blame on the government and argue online and offline.

I pray for a better Nigeria.. But we all must try our best to make this country a better place..

*Don't depend on government.. Magic is not going to happen anytime soon*

Below is the pics of my small garden.
I planted tomatoes, vegetable, pepper and Sweet potatoes.

We've not been buying tomatoes since march..even when tomatoes became costly. We've been eating the tomatoes and vegetable from my small garden.. Sometimes, when it becomes too much.. We give to our neighbors and friends. grin

It has helped me and my family and our neighbors a bit.

So, how have you been able to cope.. What have you done to help yourself and people around you?

Share your experience pls grin

Smh..
Tomatoes don't grow on tiles.. So go to your back yard and plant on the sand there. tongue

I planted on a small portion of land in our compound...very small.
It's the only available space I could plant.

[size=13pt]This economy is so harsh that sometimes me and my friends share everything like Airtime, power bank, food and even our DREAMS

How i've been surviving
1. Visit the bank with my power bank, rechargeable lamp, rechargeable fan
2. Withdraw #1000
3. watch CNN news in the bank
4. Chat with the security man
5. Leave with the #1000
6. Come again the next day and deposit the #1000[/size]
