5 Things I Have Given Up Due To The Increasing Price by Printme1: 11:44am On Feb 26 |
Things are really really getting pricey and to be sincere it seems the prices are increasing every single day. Last time, I bought a bag of pure water for N300. The next I want to buy the same bag of pure water, it was N350. I sha still bought it like that. 3 days later, they announced the new price, N500! That's where I stopped buying. I was already struggling with the N350 per bag. But N500? So now I drink from the borehole. After all others have been drinking from there and nothing do them. Bread Normally, bread of N200 and coke will be enough to sustain you for the day or maybe for the night. I do it this very often. But now eh, I can't even go close to bread again. The prices are something else. I mean the last time I tried it, only 1k bread will make sense and honestly I can't be spending that much in a sitting all the time. So I've left bread behind. Same thing with noodles and spaghetti. So, I'm stuck with cooking regular foods now. And I tend to get most of my food stuffs from the village "yam, beans, garri, rice". We farm these things so we tend to have them in stock. But sometimes you still need to sell. I saw some students already cooking with fire woods instead of gas due to the increasing prices. They go to the bush in the school, either around the school zoo or the botany garden to gather firewoods and then cook at the back of the hostel. Some just use it to parboil their beans before taking it to the hostel to complete the cooking with their gas. Honestly, there's suffering in the land. In my school hostel, electric burner is not permitted but most students are using it because of the price of gas. Even Christian brothers that will obey the rules, some are breaking the rules because of this hardship. Sometimes I imagine what people on the streets will be going through right now especially those beggars. God will help us. For those wondering, I'm a student. And I think most students can testify that they are making heavy changes to their lifestyle right now. If you have a child in school, please do call to check up on them regularly. Send them anything you can spare. E no easy right now. 123 Likes 6 Shares |

Yesterday, I told my wife and kid that the last carton of indomie noodles I grudgingly bought 2wks ago for N11,000 would be the very last in my house. Women being women, just this morning, my wife was asking me if I really meant it and wouldn't get them even if na half carton if the one at home finishes. The bombastic side eye I gave her was enough to remind her that I'm just a level 11 FG worker trying to stay afloat. 274 Likes 21 Shares |

I give up nothing. At first I tried cutting cost. Used one useless dishwash that peeled my fine skin. Last last I ran back to Morning Fresh. I just thank God I took the hard decision to focus on remote work and a harder decision to resign my 9to5. My colleagues discouraged and scared me. I don't blame them. It was all genuine concern. But I did what I had to do. A week back one of them asked me for electricity units and I told her to send her meter number. Recharged 20k for her and she was so happy. Mentally it was $12 to me. To her it was 20k. For this life, you have to use your active years VERY WISELY. This youthful vigour won't be there forever. 252 Likes 28 Shares |

Buhari came in 2015 and unleashed hardship on Nigerians. He said we should be patient with him as things would soon get better. He increased pump price the first time and Lai Muhammed said...change begins with us that we should endure. Nobody protested with the hope the change agenda would truly work. Tinubu was the party's national leader. As if that wasn't enough, he increased the price again and said our refineries would soon come on stream and nigerians should allow him spend 2bn usd to revamp the moribund refineries, under a TAM arrangement. Timipre silva came on air to beg . Nobody protested and today, it's change promax. Now Tinubu came under same party with his usual sweet mouth, with which he brought Buhari into power in 2015. He said subsidy is gone, floating of naira must take effect now...and we should endure the hardship while it lasts. He said the hardship is for a short while, after which things would get better ![]() Dear Nigerians, shey won fi oogun de yin molę ni ![]() ![]() I do sincerely pray for a better and prosperous Nigeria but not under these liars playing opposition under same party, blaming the failure of buhari which they jointly inherited and contributed to, as the cause of the current situations. My concern is the innocent, who are paying the price of some people's stupidity. 42 Likes 3 Shares |

Nice. I'm also thinking of not buying bag of pure water. I only buy pure because it easy to just pick one and drink rather than filling bottles from the filter and stocking them inside the fridge. It's stressful. The compound where I live the water is good and treated omo buying bag of pure every 2 days for 500 is not for me again abeg. 😂 2 Likes |
