Beans too is expensive now.

I priced a 4 litter size paint ruber of beans and the seller said it is 2.5k and rice of that size is 5k
So beans is still cheaper

Some of us are using prepaid metres. How do you expect us to use pressure/electric pot?

Hi, with the growing price of rice, things don't seem to be cheap and eating rice would take much from one's earnings.

The unfortunate flood stories on frontpage and also increase in price of rice is worrisome, but man must survive.

I remember the time I used to buy spaghetti and hardly use rice. But one thing led to the other and the price of spaghetti increased and I was forced to look for alternative, and had to resort to rice because it was cheaper then.

Now same rice is increasing in price, what food would you suggest should be used to replace rice based on cost.

WHITE BEANS
GAARI
FUFU
SWEET POTATOE e.t.c

As long as Nigeria is concise, no escape route, the only solution now is to vote Apc out in order to teach them lesson for messing up the masses, by doing this, the new incoming government will learn from that action.

It last longer than that, if stored in a perforated box. Away from humidity. The one's my wife bought two week ago is still perfectly okay

[quote author=lovediehatelive post=117986121] the reality is hitting hard.

If sweet potatoes is cheaper and would ''hold body,'' then one should start looking into it [/quote sweet potato self is very cost, if you see sweet potato of #500 it's just like Three.

Cut cabbage inside the spaghetti and the extra mass would fill the stomach.

It's sad. I just can't imagine how the poorest of the poor are coping with the current hardship.

Guys let's vote Peter Obi if things will change. I think it's worth a trial. Voting back APC is just to continue the status quo.

Food you can only eat when it is hot and have to rush to brush teeth afterwards.

Would we put the beans into the boiling electric cooker?

Or pour the beans into the already boiled water?

No.


You pour boiling water into your already parboiled beans(in a pot), then continue cooking.

Well not me.
If I can find a way of eating less I surely will jump on it. But don't mistaken malnourishment for 'slimmer' which is certainly not healthy.

The body is essentially one huge chemical processing plant requiring all sorts of chemical compounds in the right quantities and combinations to work effectively.

Any one lacking, mistimed or of poor quality will just shorten the lifespan of that engine.

If you do not service your car with the right quantity, quality of consumables and parts and in a timely manner you can imagine how long it will serve you well.

So in a nutshell the jibe is on us. Bad governance reduces the lifespan of citizens in many ways including hunger.

Electric jug needs power to work which is a problem in most parts of Nigeria.

I would advice anybody who have the opportunity to japa to do that without hesitation..... Nigeria is doomed.

Japa to where? There are problems everywhere. Sit your ass down and vote in a credible purposeful government.

Stockholm syndrome. We that are enlightened have a role to play for our own safety and peace of mind.

Most of them are so ignorant. If this continues most of them will join crime and we will be their target because we're driving 4M car that we worked so hard to buy. They can't differentiate us from the politicians and their families.

Lol I thought one lowlife fool on one post like that said It doesn't corncern him nor his business. I lectured the fool on the repercussions and dangers ahead but the Idiot keeps on blabbing..grin
