Only the total Islamisation of Nigeria will stop this madness

after Islamisation the whole problem will just vanish into thin air abi?

So Afghanistan that is all Muslim is paradise on earth abi?

Flyingngel:
It is left for the Southern Governors to reject it or the citizenry lead a mass protests across all Southern state. I really don't understand Buhari's fixation on land?

there's nothing not to understand about buharis fixation on land.

He's sole aim is to steal land and give it to his kins men..the fulanis.

He came up with that water way bills which says all lands around the water ways belongs to the federal government.

We rejected it. He came with RUGA. And then grazing routes and now farm estates.

All attempts made with all these policies was to grab land and give to cattle herders... The fulanis.

There's nothing mysterious about buhari other than him being a cheap land thief. But he won't succeed. His tenure will end and he'll go back to daura with his tail between his legs. With southerners becoming even more awoken to the power play of the North.

We need more of this review for the country.

The more we make the centre look unattractive the less abokis we'll have to deal with.

Now they think they can stay in FG and rule the country as they deek fit. Once we remove the central power, those who think they were born to rule will have to rethink

My brother, everybody is a millonaire on social media. Have a nice day.

not sure what this is supposed to mean but certainly not me having N1500 to spend per week is a way of claiming that I'm a Millionaire on social media

hello ma. I survived on 1k per week in 2018 and 2019 when in school. my dad sends me 2k then weekly. in a month that is 8k. i will divide it into 2 and use just 4k and save the remaining 4k. oh my God, i drank garri then like mad. big bowl of garri consistently for two years with beans, and some oil rice. Nothing like stew rice. then i come still sell PPRH bread small in UNIBEN . i did not change my eating habit. within the two years i saved 95k out of my small small 1k weekly savings, and Delta state bursary i received once.

After school, i no go house. just carry my 95k go start life. Now it is 2021. those suffer don end. I no dey earn in milions now but i dey earn enough to send money go house and stil have savings in hundred of thousands monthly.

so i think a determined nigga can survive in 2021 with N1.5k. The human mind can do impossible things if you will it to.

the secret is just to know why you are suffering and why you must end it in a few years time

Lie from the pit of hell.
I have lived in Gboko and Makurdi, the Tiv poeple usually don't eat fufu with soup. They buy fufu and #50 fish and the rest is to whom it may concern.

The soup they sell at the road side is usually okra boiled in water and nothing more.

first off,

I'm not tiv. Tiv are not the only one in benue state.

Secondly, a lot of tiv people I see eating in restaurants do eat their fufu with soup. They eat with a lot of meat in it... More than I ever thought possible.

I have never seen any of them eating only fufu with meat and no soup. Though we tend to mock them that they do it but I've never seen anyone doing that.

GeneralKoko:
So you were buying fufu and soup that would satisfy you for #100?



Port Harcourt is cursed!

not cursed bro.

Benue produce most of its foods so we tend to buy only when necessary.

Limassol:
Dude,if what you write here is anything to go by,then you are very much likely to be malnourished,in fact, you are basically surviving. My hope is things get better for you.

Malnourished ke. I can 200% guarantee you that I'm not the slightest bit malnourished.

you know nothing sir.

Bandits holds ak 47 and other better weapons.

Show any pictures of bandits with Dane guns and I'll show you 5 pictures of Nollywood actors with Dane guns

Not even a single care to thank the public for their concern.


Nigeria institutions are just too loose and loyal to their oga forgetting that the public is the real oga

BigSarah:
So he eats only rice and garri

Even low income earners if they spend 10k in a week they rejoice

i dont have 10k to spend in a week ma

secondly i dont eat only rice and garri. read the post again

as a student there are food stuffs you take from home which you dont count as expenses like yam, beans, garri, potato, plantain, etc. i have those.

so my expenses comes primarily from buying ingredients

You are going to finish the little energy you gathered from eating your herbal mixture barking at everything that moves in your thread

that thing still de pain you?

Wo make dem strike make I go hustle abeg

Arda1000:
so what else do you use,cause I know cooking with gas is much cheaper than firewood and kerosene now,especially kerosene

you misunderstand me.

i cook with gas.

but most cooking after stew and soup dont take much gas.

just boiling rice or water for eba. cooking yam or indomie.

most times, i cook one large meal for the day. i dont spend much time at home. i rarely cook twice except to on gas and warm the food.

Davash222:
You can't eat soup and fufu for N100 and still have sense.

Abeg getat!

Davash222:
So, they sell fufu and soup N100 over there?

So much for bright people!

na cotton wool full your head...i swear

how is selling food cheaply a measure of one's sense?

its demand and supply that determine cost of things but sha i no blame cotton wool loaded head to understand that

Arda1000:
But wait oo do u cook with gas,kerosene or firewood?.
Because buying food is another,and then looking at the price of gas/kerosene and even firewood it’s doesn’t look that cheap to me,in fact unless you have a refrigerator and a constant way of keeping it on u can’t be able to say cooking your food is cheaper than buying unless you finish all the food you cook everything in a day

i know the cost of gas.

i buy #1800 and it last anywhere from 3weeks to a month.

once i've prepared soup and stew, i dont use the gas for long cooking again na. so e go last

BeardedMeat:
Still expensive.

Are there no grasses in Benue?

why asking.?...Your village people didnt get the last batch we sent to them?

Davash222:
Like, you'll use the fufu to eat the meat without soup?

people here are sensible enough to know that fufu and soup goes together so they dont sell them separately. so if you buy fufu, you are also entitled to the soup.

sorry if they are not so bright in your area. no insult intended

Hello Nlders

Its no longer news that things are mightily expensive in the market especially food stuffs.

It is even harder for me and i believe a lot of other students included.

this has led me to changing my eating habit and surprisingly i seem to love it now more than ever before. dont get me wrong. ..i still detest the rising cost of living.

the part i love is that i now eat healthier now than before.

before now, bread and coke was a major part of my daily meal. sometimes i eat that for lunch and then dinner.

most times, i'd spent #150 on bread and #150 on coke making it #300.

or i'd eat outside. most times i buy fufu of #100 and then meat of #50 and i'll be okay. its benue state so the food was quite okay.

coming to the present, bread of #150 can no longer satisfy me as it is now so small. Nowadays, i'll need around #300 just for bread.

it seems like the sellers these days dont even know how much to sell the bread again. ..sometimes its #250 sometimes its #350.

and fufu nowadays cost #200 (300 if you really want to be satisfied) and meat is 100.

one day i sat down and thought it would be much more cost effective if i start cooking more and buying less.

well it turns out to be so. nowadays i spend only about 1k-1.3k per week on feeding. i use the money to prepare both soup and stew for the week. since i already have rice and garri i do not factor those in.

my market list often goes like this:

stew:

tomato #500
pepper #100
onion #100 or #50
meat #200 or #250 (those mallam recognize us as student...they call it student meat)
crayfish #50

and for soup:

ogbono #150
kpomo #200
crayfish #100
leaf #100

I buy palm oil and groundnut oil with maggi in bulk. so its once in a way.

i'm not the best cook but i found out i recently love cooking and have experimenting. I'm always watching youtube cook videos even when i'm cooking.

my friends dey laff me sometimes sha but me no send o. btw, nowadays i de cook stew die! still perfecting my soup skills sha.

Sirjamo:
States should collect their vats but, they should tell me which state will collect VAT from me when I import my products through the Lagos ports but I am going to sell my products in Kano, my state of residence.

Do you not pay the shipper for transporting your goods go the port and then the driver from the port to kano state?

If you want to do inter state business or inter country businesyou should be ready to pay the cost.

There's always a price for change. It's not normal for us to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.

It's time to give states a chance to manage their own resources. That way we'll know who wields the power and who to hold accountable.

There's too much power at the centre and any tribe who holds it makes others feel threatened. This is a huge win and we are ready to pay the price for the change.

The groups in northern Nigeria are just too many.

We expect progress from such a united front but unfortunately all they think about is how to subdue and hate on the southerners.

Just too bad

I would have been disappointed if naira made this list.

Theunbothered:
It's like many of the people here live in a different Nigeria because since I can remember there had been no constant light even approaching 12 hours.

I understand.

Most times, light is best in state capital than in every other parts of the state. It is also better in heavily developed part of a state than less developed ones.

I'm in my state capital so we get light sometimes for days unending except if rain should fall (even sometimes when rain is falling we normally have light).

While in my village within the state, we only get about 5-10 hours. So it depends on where you live.

Very good here but we want 24 hours power supply.

Why not just open a counter thread and tell us all these!

is there a rule that I can't type my response on this thread, however long that response may be?
