Seems like you are because I don't know why you were trying to drag your neighbors that didn't give you theirs to use.

If things was fine for everybody, you won't be asking them. Nigeria is bleeped at the moment. It's all man for himself, can't blame others for not helping you because you think they have. Things do not work like that.

It's ok sir. I quite understand you.

Jobs/Vacancies / Hardship: How I Battled To Cook Beans Yesterday. by Stayupup(m): 5:21pm On Mar 11
I humbly greet you all.

Before now, getting a neighbour's gas cylinder to complete cooking when running out of yours was not a problem but the experience yesterday showed that every man on his own now in this country. I approached 5 neighbours and none was willing to help out, all due to hardship and high cost of cooking gas.

So as things are like this in the country today, everybody is looking for ways to survive. If it's hard on those who are working and earning handsomely, how much more of those earning pennies and those who are even job hunting like myself?

As a job seeker in this economy that is tearing body and soul apart, I decided to plan ahead of time by using my last money to cook beans that could take me for days

Wrong kind of beans.

The beans I bought turned out to be the type that doesn't get softened easily on cooking. After cooking it for about 45 mins, it was still very strong and here, my gas finished. Too bad. I thought i was still having plenty gas in the cylinder.

The beginning of more wahala for me.

As gas finished, who is going to bail me out? In this hard economy that is biting harder by the day? Where everybody holds their cylinder so precious due to N1400/kg.

As I wasn't with any money again to buy even half KG, I went round the compound asking for who can borrow me his/her cylinder to complete the cooking. At the end, nobody came to my rescue. Everybody was claiming gas is too expensive to be given out like that.

I looked up, it was far and down, it was close. What else should I do? Friends were also complaining of no money to borrow me.

What happened to my beans, my only hope for the week?

I had these two coconut in the house. I brought it out and looked for a buyer. Luckily I saw who was interested and bought the two for N700.

A sigh for relief
That was how I was able to go refill half KG of gas and that helped me finish cooking the stubborn beans. I pray I will never get to buy that kind of hard beans again. Gas is expensive and so beans should consider that and done very fast.

Something for pocket
How i wished i sold the coconut more than that amount for something to remain in my pocket, or possibly bought the gas for a lesser amount to remain small something for pocket.

Why am I telling the story?
To share with you to know what I'm passing through, same thing most Nigerians are going through too. Times are hard! Really hard for most Nigerians. The present hardship is nothing but killing. God help us.
