Gas finished last night and the kids were craving shawarma, I was too. Hubby said to go out to get it for all of us with drinks for dinner, I punched my calculator to see how much it will cost for a family of 5.
I arrived at over 35k. 12kg gas now cost 24k, we would use it 4weeks at least. I chose gas over shawarma.
That is for a family where both partners work and earn decently. We couldn't even afford a basic treat without punching the calculator. Everything extra is now considered luxury
Now imagine the life of a child whose both parents are skilless, unemployed or earns meagerly.
I know many of you will come and ask if shawarma is food, no it's not but everyone deserves a treat once in a while.
We all know what we are doing but you people should fear Allah.
You have a special needs child and it alters EVERY aspect of your family life. Everything and everyone will make adjustments throughout their lives for that child.
The men are ALWAYS the first to shut down and even leave the woman with the kid. I have seen well over 50 cases. I have seen a bit of life in these not-so-few years on earth. I find it laughable that it is mostly men who are shouting against abortion from a moral high ground that they don’t understand.
I know of a neighbour then in Ikoyi, who yelled at his daughter who kept having crisis from Sickle Cell Disease saying “If you want to die, just die!”.
That’s sickle cell o, not to now talk of down syndrome, cerebral palsy, etc.
Approach these matters with humility o! Be careful!
This is the video evidence for those of you saying I’m lying about Shariah law in Nigeria being politicized. This is what Baba Obasanjo himself said about it. Shariah law in Nigeria is a bullshıt and a big scam.
Unrelated or maybe related but around this time last year you asked for cost to share plates of my meals on the TL after you were tagged. You said you’d revert. I reminded you twice and you aired.
I hate to ever feel like I’m bothering people so I never bothered saying anything or reaching out again.
I know you’re not obligated to but there was no need raising my hopes up then if you knew you had no intention of purchasing. It was painful cos I really needed that bulk sale at the time 😅😅
Plus my mutuals tagged you a lot to that post, they saw your response so maybe some might have even thought I got credited and didn’t share food.
Regardless, all is well. Hakuna matata ✌️
Right now, all I need is ₦73,000 to get the two pints of blood the doctors have asked me to get, but I cannot afford it. My PCV keeps dropping, and after bleeding heavily, I feel extremely weak. Pls help me. 8146203234 moniepoint
