I don't understand all these people
How do you get debtors as friends? Delete them from your friend list
A debt is an instrument. Countries have national and internal debt profiles. Even your country is owning tonnes, it could even be argued that everyone is/has been/will be a debtor, at someplace or some instance in life. "Do you service your debt?" is one among questions... Are you going to strike your country off your list too, lols... Only to end up with another country with debts too... Of course, it's what they do with the debts and how it is serviced that matters.

Even Dangote that you may want to be friends with uses it. The rich and wealthy also borrow, how many will you strike off your list because of their private businesses... Do you even have the strength, money and resources to privately investigate someone's business project that may or may not affect dealings with you?

Why did you take alone that you couldn't pay back 100% at the last stipulated time? For you not to have paid back the remaining 20% shows that you are dubious.
There are modalities for such cases. It does not always mean the person is dubious.

The bottom line is that the repayment is remaining 20%. Work toward the completion of that 20% is what is to be focused on.

Discard this advice at your own peril, personally I dom live with strong man, i notice he doesn't eat draw soup, any kind of, later i got to find out that for his work to be through som1 he mustn't eat draw soup. Else it go spoil him iffa diety jab
It seems there's a pattern to this stuff... I am deducing that any stuff gooey and slimy is likely to mess up this strongmanship of a thing that comes up...

I could be wrong, just brainstorming.... drawyy stuff from sex, draw soup, saliva(maybe) , {insert other gooey stuff here too}

I am I the only one who thinks the "draw soup" she's talking about could be sex outside marriage?

lols, dunno o.... cos I doubt she is literally referring to the actual draw soup. If the later be the case, then it would be an interesting expose on hearing her explanation.

streetzdreamz:
Only a true thief feels like he owns someone else's property, stealing on its own is a despicable act, killing their victims while in the act is crossing a line I can't really qualify. Take whatever you wanna take, why take his life also? then they go deaf at the moment of reckoning, pleading for mercy and blaming the devil!! these boys don't deserve a court case, an execution best suits them.

So India has better military than Germany huh
If I am to be honest. It's debatable considering some factors... But by sheer size, asset volume(some), production capacity and triving industries India deserves to be there and besides.

But it's the quality of Germans though and other alliances
However, right now it Indian is levelling up greatly.
In fact, if smaller Japan could overrun Chinese territories and hold occupation for years then it's certainly possible that India hold that position mainly because of size and capacity for home production... But the Germans amazed alot of seemly bigger countries with their tech and manufacturing prowess while meeting critical deadlines for so long as the WW lasted.

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

26.4% off for the joy of cooking(with love) ain't enough to convince this guy. grin

I understand... sometimes the heat, the running around and time spent for preparation, cooking etc isn't worth it. But you get to experiment with the different combos you always wanted to try... which you may not be able to influence in a public eatery among other perks like quantity control etc.

Well else, be prepared to deaden your taste buds once in a while, well more than once in a while as my experience has been that not all people can cook that good but they would be something they might be good in making that save the combo. For me, it has been the cripsyness of the hide (kpomo), at other places the turkey absolutely save the insipid(I know this adjective is for drinks but go figure, lols grin) rice.

I cooked soup three days ago with 1,500 naira and decided to go buy fufu to eat with and what I got shook me. Maybe it's now better to eat out because I don't believe a restaurant can be that heartless to sell that quantity of food to you.

Attacked pic is the fufu I bought for 50 naira in Abuja

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
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

I can not come home by 8pm and still be expected to cook, I only cook on Sundays moreover I am not a really good cook.
It's could be quite a chore.

I think, It would be better to cook that way and as you arrive home from work, you defrost in the microwave or something that way you would achieve semi-instant meal.

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 has 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.
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...

Doesn't make sense. Nollywood mentality. That means Jesus's soul was a familiar spirit. And the soul of Lazarus was a familiar spirit too? How come it was able to return so that he woke up from death? What of the bones of dead people who returned to life when Elisha's dead-body touched them? Meaning there are many cases of familiar spirits associated with your biblical saints, hero's and legends than there are in Africa.
I love how jarring your questions are. I am just as curious. I don't really understand how Samuel's case was that of a familiar spirit (I mean it was not indicated) since the operator was a sorcerer... I am aware he went back and it differed from the outright resurrections.

Lol stale. Who doesn't know all these. The first 3 are just postulates. The last 2 are just your brain playing tricks on you.
The only one I've had experience in here is that last one deja vu. There were times I had them in dreams on steriods. If it's a trick then it can be effective... I am saying this because there were times I would just walk normally... May probably have past the same place a thousand times but one day I pass through that spot and all the angles, the actors, animals, sounds sef align... One time I was able to predict an event that would happen next... like a car of certain color passing after this alignment...

Sometimes the prediction didn't happen immediately but after a while... Everytime the alignment happened my hair would stand, scary stuff.

I think the mind does the inputting of the experience during dreams... It may store and replay the stored info in the subscious dreams overtime... Next it would wait for the physical body to experience the alignment.

And I feel my deja vu experience is very mild... Imagine people with advanced and consistent dejavu... Hmm
