Pls nairalanders, this my first time posting on this forum
Lemme get straight to the point.
I just got admitted to one of the best federal university in the northern part of the county, and my problem now is how I going to manage the little 10k my uncle promise to be sending to me per semester, for my feeding and probably daily runnings in school.
Pls guy I need your advice on how to plan and manage that money because there's no other way to get a extra income while in school.
All ideas are very welcome?
Can someone please give me a good example on how he survived with a low financial status while he/she was in school.
Like in details how much you spent on food stuff, photocopies, transport, airtime/data e.t.c

Impossible is an understatement.
A semester is minimum of 3months and maximum of 4.(12weeks for lecture plus 2/3weeks for examination)
No matter how ridiculously cheap foodstuffs is in the north, it's just not possible..)

As a Fresher, only textbooks and Handouts will finish up your money.

You should try and start indomie and Egg business or Toasted Yale bread and Egg business in your neighborhood.

Do it in the morning between 6am to 8am B4 lectures and in the evening between 4pm to whenever you are tired

My dear op. Have you no other uncles?

I strongly advise you to learn to multiply the 10k per semester your uncle promised you because from experience, that 10k a semester will become 10k a year pretty soon!

The person above me gave good advise.

crazy uncle , 10k per semester, i'm sure the uncle doesn't live in Nigeria. you better start tasking all your other uncles far and near.
