I'll gladly pay 132 naira for the labor of cooking

That's not the real cost but incase you want to find out, if or when you get a family, be buying them food everyday from the restaurant.

Wonderful!

Epic defense there... didn't realize the "refill" was for the gas thought it was for the tomato stew that was mentioned just before it.

While I would admit you may have torn through all of 'em, I disagree with you about preservation. Hence the question, how do you keep the stew long enough for up to 2 months for total consumption. Rewarming? then gas cost covers it.... Refrigeration? the electricity cost has got to be considered.

Preservation is always part of the food chain.

...And you would be surprised about the amount of people that eat food preserved to some degree or the other, well except you cook from own garden fresh each time and consume (like total nutritional annihilation) same day, lols

Well it's not as if I keep stew for 2 months. Most of the times, the people that visit me do partake in the eating. But what's it gonna cost me to put stew in the fridge.

Don't get me wrong though, I do eat out sometimes and I know what the quality of meal I get costs me. And for us that resides in the North where a little amount of money can get you a lot, it's unwise not to take advantage of that unless you don't know how to cook.

In all, home made meal is way cheaper and more satisfying than eating out.

seanwilliam:
alaye no be everybody dey chop rice everyday like u

Learn how to read egbon. It's twice weekly.

I even used rice because it's way costlier than preparing eba and soup.

Ciao.

I loved your analysis. I am trying to create a personal financial budget and financial policy for the Federal Republic of Yongg. You covered the simpler parts of the cost but there's more.

Please I would like to see the type of numbers you would append to
1. the transport cost to get these...(it's easier if you go once and for all, but if you keep a personal log of expense per day, once can extract cost from there). Public transport, or private or delivery the cost is there, lols

2. the energy cost. Gas(cost of refill per period) or kerosine or Electric(extract from EDC/ power bills)

3. the elusive cost of spices. this one is special area because of the highly heterogeneous nature of the use, refill or buying these. it better you assume a figure of proportional weight (that would be highly subjective as this would differ per person). Like think onions, salt, pepper, nutmeg, curry, thyme, black pepper, crayfish, prawns, apple cinder vinegar, carrots, cucumber, lettuce.

Even water might need to be factored in

4. preservation would need to be factored in where it differs from energy. But if one utilizes only electricity for both, it makes the calculation simpler...

Lol
1. It wouldn't cost me up to #500 fuel in the car I can even walk to the market.

2. The gas was there but you probably didn't see it.

3. The spices was factored in the cost of stew which you did overlook again. I can't put a price on water because I don't know how much the landlord put on it but outside my compound people fetch water for free.

4. Preservation is not part of cooking cost also, not everyone eats preserved food.

Also if I had reduced the number of meat I eat and size of food to what is obtainable in restaurants, it would be way cheaper than #368

Ciao

Rich4god:
By cost alone, cooking is way cheaper. But one need to factor in the stress of cooking, washing pots, plates and other things. And also the time consumed in cooking and washing.

I don't see cooking what I eat as stress but then, different strokes for different folks.

mecusbosco:
You don't buy groundnut oil? You don't buy salt? Spices in general?

Their cost are negligible in a plate of stew but it was put into consideration in the #2500 for the stew.

One bag of 25kg rice costs #12000 and it lasts me 6 months as a single person. I cook rice twice weekly.

To cook tomato stew costs me #2000

#2000 gas refill lasts me 2 months.

CALCULATE
#12,000÷48 times = #250 per cooking which is about 5 plates. 1 plate = #50.

#2500 ÷ 8 plates of stew = #312 a plate. NB Meat alone is #1500.

#2000 ÷ 60days of usage = #33 per cooking. 1 plate should be about #6.

So 50+312+6= #368 a plate for my own cooking.

Average cost of a plate of rice outside = #500.
So OP home cooking is still cheaper and more satisfying no matter what.

Modified: My plate na big plate o. E fit be two plates outside. So be the judge.

Everybody wan go viral these days

Correct score.

Tottenham 2 - 2 Liverpool

Nigeria is a naturally corrupt location. People who benefit from corruption never complain about it. People who complain only do so because they are not benefiting. Transparency starts with everybody.

That shouldn't bother you. The first rule in a relationship is not to beg for it. If she goes back to her her ex, go back to ur ex or find another person's ex. Life of the exmen!

This ain't brilliant....... but we miuve!

Most of the good hotels in that axis are located in Amaokpala town. But I'll list the hotels I know and the likely prices.

Chalk valley hotels Oko --- #5000. Although it's old.
Rozander Hotels Amaokpala ---- #5000
Morren xris hotels Amaokpala ----- #7000
Golden view hotels Amaokpala -----#7000

Triple tree hotels, Aria sky, Lifestyle hotels, all in Amaokpala is from #10000 and above.

At the back of triple tree, there is Breeze spot of #6000.

In Ekwulobia, there is orthon palace and Chicago but I don't know their prices.

The Oko and Amaokpala hotels are all along Umunze road except Morren xris along new road.

Seems many Nigerian youths are into fraud these days.
