Ibukune:



If you are a web developer and good in what you do.... send me a whatap message. Number in my bio. Let's talk. Thanks

okay boss

I'm glad somebody could come up with this. Most times, we tend to deceive ourselves once we're online but the truth is life bites us differently and no amount of camouflaging can help us escape the harsh realities of life.

P.S: This is not to glorify poverty but to let Nairaland 'billionaires' and 'ultra-rich' kids knows that life is beyond passing comments, hiding behind keypads...

Good

Adamdau:


You are not saying the truth please. 600/8=75. I quote you again, there's no where you can buy a cup of rice at N75 in Nigeria today.

It is not a lie. I am a student here in Makurdi, Benue and I can testify that those price list are correct. Local rice 1 mudu sells for N600 but you must be willing to eat enough stones with it. . Potatoes are grouped like onions here for just N200. The only thing is that this place is dry money wise.

Pls can u give me your number I want to meet in person... I stay in North bank as well in makurdi

Honestly I feel disgusted going through your meal plan, no fish, no meat in a whole month.



I pray to God to change your plight

[quote author=Supreme145 post=107269864]I commented on a thread yesterday that was about how much that can last someone through the week, I posted that I can manage 3k for a week and I was literary dragged and trolled through the thread. Some accused me of lying while some said I still live with my parents, others saw my post as a scheme to accrue favour from people.

I never wanted to open a thread about this, but as God would have it, he blessed me ( Not from that thread) through Nairaland best roofer and known philanthropist @ money121 and @despian that sent me something to help with my school project. I managed to squeeze out a little money and branch to the market to get some food stuffs. Below is a detail of how I spent 3k on food stuffs that would last me a week.

Rice 1 mudu(8 cups) : #600
Beans 1 mudu(8 cups) : #900
Potato : #500
1/2 bottle of palm oil : #400( I add just enough to colour the food)
1 packet of maggi : #250
Powder pepper :#100
Onions :#100
Airtime :#100
Total :#2950
The remaining #50 is for Chelsea match later in the evening.

While I didn't make this post to glorify poverty but it seems some people are oblivious to the situation of things in the country at the moment. Apparently the hardship levels is skewed, based on the values that people were quoting on that thread. While some food stuffs are at a premium at the moment, there are some of us that cut our suit according to our ankara.

Next is how I manage the foodstuff to last me a week in no particular order.

Day one: Rice and beans
Day two: beans and potatoes
Day three: only Rice
Day four: porridge potatoes
Day five : only beans
Day six: Rice and beans
Day seven: potatoes and oil
Fortunately the stomach does not disclose its contents.

I iterate through the list during the week, I spend only #100 on airtime during the week. I don't call any body and spend #25 daily for 250 mb night sub which I use to apply for jobs. I wait for the following week when it gets exhausted.
I use salt as makeshift paste and patronize Hausa black soap for bathing.
I've my faze cap to conceal my overgrown hair, though my lord luggard esque moustache have a way of bringing my legs outside.
I fetch well water, boil and sieve it, in that way home made Eva water is set, who knows I might own a pure water factory in future so I'm practicing now.

Added plus: My Girlfriend
It's a popular opinion on nairaland and the country in general that most Nigerian girls are useless and are out to bring nothing but misfortune and misery to our lives. I beg to disagree because the ones around me (mom, siblings and gf) are anything but useless.

My current girlfriend is a frugal spender and taught me how to spend prudently. She taught me how to cook thereby cutting the amount I spend on food to a significant level. I can give her just #1500 and she would prepare two pots of stew and soup to last me a week. Like my Oga @chatinet would say there are still women that can go to the market with 3k and come back with two nylons.

While other nairalanders open thread open threads about their parasitic girlfriends, mine is actually helping me through a difficult phase in my life.
Sadly despite my pitiful standard of living, I still have people that I'm better than and see me as a senior man. Its that bad.

I'm not comfortable with my condition so I'm looking for jobs so as to improve my standard of living. My fellow nairalanders help me to start eating with meat by offering my any job available. I'm a graduate of Statistics/Computer Science (bsc ed) and a web developer.

So the doubting Thomas's here's a breakdown of my 3k weekly spending.

Modified: Obviously some people are still doubting my credibility. I stay in north bank, Makurdi Benue State for those asking.

So, you don't buy kerosene, firewood or gas to cook it

Well, he has nothing to prove however in Kebbi State, Aliero precisely..

8cups/1Mudu of local rice still go for as low as #500.

Noted.

Chykes4micheal:
The guy did not tell us if he used kerosene or gas because the two hydrocarbons are expensive as we speak... Abi e dey go cook am for en neighbor house?

He replied someone else that he uses electric cooking plates.


That's if.... No light, no food

No be juju be that.

Well, in Zaria here, foodstuffs are a bit Cheaper tbh.

You dey stress yourself sef. Na to buy #200 rice and beans for oga uche restaurant sure pass. If I eat twice a day that makes #400. In a week I'll still have change on that 3k

Mercychen:
Hmmm....

You're lucky to be living where food is cheap.

Down here, potato is 5 pieces for 500. But I see you got a bag full for 500. The cheapest rice around here is 900 for 2 dericas (8 cups). So with that 3k, you can't get all these in my area.

I tire owerri na one hell of a place.dat 3k,i pity am.well benue state is cheaper. I knw coz i have been around dia and have a neighbour frm dia.

Have you forgotten their ( Benue state) slogan? " Food basket of the nation" . So 1k suppose reach am sef.

Your location has been really helpful to you. Not like here in Lagos.

Supreme145:
Hahahaha....I'm in makurdi bro

Stat/Comp(ed) uniagric makurdi... Great makurdian. Great!

Mariangeles:
Of all the important things to buy, why would you buy a packet of maggi? eh nnaa?

For extra taste. Food without other little addition needs extras cubes to be tasteful

Kindly inbox me.
