Dear Nairalanders, I thought it necessary to create this post because someone might find it useful in the face of the current economic situation. I stay at a place that's closer to my place of work and my family stays somewhere else. I only go to see them on most weekends and during public holidays. I'm not a cooking enthusiast so I eat out all the time while away from my family. On most days, I spend between #4,000 to #6000 on food in a day, excluding drinks and associates. My budget for feeding yesterday was #5,000. However, I decided to try something different. There's a woman selling Bambara nut pudding popularly called "okpa" on the roadside leading to my work place. On way to work yesterday, I stopped by the place and bought #500 worth of okpa. I got three portions. I also bought Yale bread for #400 (normal price is #350). On getting to the office, I ate two portions of the okpa and I was filled. Around 10:30 am, I ate the remaining one portion. Around 12:30 pm, I poured one sachet of Milo (#200, as a roll of ten is #2,000) in hot water and used it to eat the bread. I didn't even finish the bread. On my way home from work, I bought two cobs of boiled maize for #500 and #200 worth of boiled groundnut. That's dinner! I ate one and a half cobs of maize and half of the groundnut for dinner. This morning, I warmed the remaining half cob of maize and ate it with the groundnuts as breakfast. This is the first time in my life that I'll eat maize and groundnut that have stayed overnight. What Nigeria's economy can not do does not exist, right? But hey, I realized that I can actually spend very little on some days and still be alright. Now I have a balance of #3,200 from yesterday's feeding budget and I plan to eat lean today and tomorrow. I'll gather the balance and go out tomorrow evening to give the money to those in need by the roadside. I've always been big on giving and this is another way to increase how much I give. If you are privileged, I encourage you to try something like this out to help those in need. You can never imagine the satisfaction until you begin to help people. Peace.

Standing5:Garri, sugar and groundnut seem to be a luxury combination now. It's such a terrific situation. I just hope things get better in this country. 3 Likes 1 Share |
