lol,
Things are hard but family of 6 are living on less than that, trust me.

They can only feed miserly. Less than 2k a day on each for feeding is dead broke.

Don't glorify poverty bro. Yes, they will be alive but I bet you they are just alive.

Tea bread and egg for 1 person costs more than 700naira

Rice and stew with 1 meat cost more than 700naira. What about fruits and water?

Oga, please help people see the poverty in them and help them come out of it if you have already come out.

1400 x 30days is 42k now multiply by 6. That's 262k.

From your calculation, it should be 27,000 per day, not 9000 per day.
1,500 x 3 x 6 =27,000

The kids may not consume as much as the parents.Lets just try to stock up.It really helps

That is why they are termed poor and rightly so. Being able to manage poverty is not enough reason to remain poor.

To avoid all these scary calculations being paraded here, buy food in bulk.

1/2 bag of rice
2 paint rubber of corn to be grinded to tuwp masara
1 pack of Maggi
Guinea corn mixed with cassava
1/2 bag of garri
1 paint rubber of beans.

This should last 2 months till another one comes in, but you see this small-small purchase, e chop money pass anything

Do you know that these is more than 100k? You haven't added the condiments and proteins for soup and stew.

Given time with no action, salt will become so costly that it would be out of reach.

Just watch out

You are very right, this government don't seem like they have a single solution to this problem, I fear more for our future than the present state. By now, we should be seeing government massive investments in Agriculture and outgrowers schemes, but they are only busy sending invisible 50k grants.

If this year looks like this withiout government intervention in mechanised farming and provide security for farmers in their farms, how do we expect next year to be? Perhaps by then, a paint of garri would be sold for 10k.

When you say average for feeding a family of 6, I am assuming that you mean a family of father, mother and 4 children.

Each person will eat a meal of #1,500 on the average for each meal. That is 9,000 each day for feeding alone.

This will be 9,000 x 30 days, #270,000

This is just the beginning o

Most Nigerians don't earn upto #200,000 per month yet they're feeding, clothing and sheltering themselves. The quality is what seems to depreciate rather than the quantity. Who else have noticed that 80-90% of fish barbecue businesses have shut down since Tinubu took over as president? Nigerians are feeding on less desirable,less delicious and less nutritious meals today. Everything about Nigeria reminds me of the novel 1984 by George Orwell.

Zero naira. Na God dey feed him children, this administration thinks we give a damn. Nigerians have been suffering, no be today. I once sat with my grandma who lived in the 30's, some of my uncle's who were in their primes in the 70's on discussions about Nigeria. In summary Nigeria has never been better.

You are 100% right but back in those days, people eat more from mother earth. Their wants were limited and not always about foods, which they can easily grow themselves. Petrol or dollar price had little or no effect on their living because majority don't have business with the two items or it position in economy.

Why you price the whole market cos you wan buy one paint 🤦🏽‍♂️

My brother e reach to price am everywhere lool, last I bought the beans was 7500. I was even hoping the guy won't tell me 9k by the time I went back to his stall, true true the guy was like oloyin beans is now 9k sef but madam as my girl Don tell you price already buy your own. grin cheesy.
Drum beans for moimoi was 6500+ now just to buy beans you have spent 14k for 2 paint rubber if you buy 1 each.

Garri was 3,200,people can't even drink garri in peace again.
One bucket of Rodo was 5500 for the one that doesn't pepper well the bigger Rodo and 7500 for the one that pepper well.

Tomatoes lipsrsealed



I just wonder how very low income earners are surviving coz 50k can't get you much these days for food especially those with little children. If it's adults they will rough it but children they have to feed well, have to eat fruits, take milk, eat eggs etc etc. And people earn 50k monthly with wife and children.

Feeding money is crazy these days, just to buy few things here and there you have spent 70k not stocking the home oo, no major thing like bag of rice, the most annoying part is it's inside 2 bagco sacks the thing will full e go come be like film trick unlike when it's the boot of the car that will be filled with 70k.

So my brother e reach to price the whole market oo.

Wow! You really tried with your analysis. I'm maintaining a family of seven under one roof, my old woman is the seventh. Even my wife doesn't have an idea about what it costs.
Just this afternoon, my wife said I'm not giving her enough pocket money after much probe on why she was quiet since morning. And I had to tell her how much maintaining the family is costing me daily these days compared to before plus increased costs of maintenance of what is fetching me money which has tripled in recent months. I still have families who are not under my roof but still need to remember them most especially now that things are hard. And there are people outside the families too, you know: friends, colleagues, neighbours and of course, ex gfs. It is not easy. I barely have anything left to save each month
