GO TO HOSTEL AND SEE WHAT THIS ECONOMY HAS REDUCED STUDENTS TO 😭💔
If you really want to understand how tough this economy is…
Forget TV.
Forget newspapers.
Just visit any university hostel. 😭😂
Hostel is not just where students sleep.
It’s where survival skills are perfected.
Every room is a different documentary.
Every corridor has its own story.
And every student is fighting a different battle. 💔
This economy has humbled everybody.
Parents are trying.
Students are adjusting.
Allowance has been reduced.
Expenses have increased.
Everybody is calculating.
The first thing you’ll notice?
Nothing gets wasted anymore.
Absolutely nothing.
I saw one guy adding water inside his perfume bottle.
I asked him,
“Bro… wetin you dey do?”
He looked at me with confidence and said,
“My brother, make e reach next month first.” 😭😂
I couldn’t even argue.
Another guy was brushing with salt.
Not because toothpaste finished that morning…
Because he had already planned that toothpaste would last till next semester. 😂
One student bought one bathing soap…
…and immediately divided it into two.
One half for this month.
The second half for “future emergencies.” 😭
I even saw someone squeezing toothpaste with the strength of an orthopedic surgeon.
When nothing came out…
He cut the tube open.
Folded it.
Scraped the inside.
There was enough toothpaste for another four days. 😂
Cream container?
Don’t ever throw it away.
Hostel students will cut it into two,
use spoon,
finger,
or even cotton bud…
until every single drop comes out.
Nothing must waste.
Nothing! 😭😂
Cooking oil has become laboratory practical.
One spoon.
Not two.
One.
Because tomorrow still exists. 💔
Milo and milk are now VIP visitors.
You don’t use them anyhow.
You only see them when visitors come…
or when examination stress is becoming spiritual. 😂
Indomie?
One pack can feed two people.
With enough water,
everything is possible. 😭
Bread that was once breakfast…
is now breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Pure water has become dessert.
Then transportation…
You’ll ask someone,
“Why are you trekking from school gate?”
They’ll reply,
“Transport is ₦300… my brother, my leg is free.” 😭😂
You’ll see students trekking distances that Google Maps itself will pity.
By the time they reach hostel,
they’ve completed today’s cardio.
Gym membership? Free.
Then charging phones…
One extension box.
Fifteen chargers.
Everybody praying NEPA should not take light.
If your charger mistakenly disconnects…
You have lost your position. 😂
The hostel kettle has become public property.
The pressing iron now has appointment.
Even bucket has timetable. 😭
And don’t be surprised if someone asks,
“Abeg, who dey cook? Make I join una.”
Not because they’re greedy…
Just because survival is now a group project. 😂
Some students have mastered the art of managing money so well that ₦2,000 can somehow survive for one week.
Till today, I still don’t understand the mathematics.
It’s beyond Economics.
It’s divine intervention. 😭
The funniest people are those who’ll tell you,
“I’m fasting.”
My brother…
You no dey fast.
Money dey fast. 😂💔
Honestly, I never truly understood how difficult this economy had become…
Until I started living in the hostel.
That’s where I saw people managing things I never imagined could be managed.
Not because they wanted to…
But because they had no choice.
Moral lesson:
Hostel will teach you that survival is an actual course in university.
You’ll learn patience.
Contentment.
Financial management.
Creativity.
And how to laugh through hard times.
Because sometimes…
The only thing students still have in abundance…
Is the ability to laugh at their own situation. 😭😂🎓
@tweetseun@WolfRMFC Seun…that team was near perfect
Ramos & kaka missing penalties wasn’t normal but its football..
Hopefully, Mou wins it this time
@WolfRMFC I guess Mourinho will play a 4-2-3-1 formation. Jude will take the box to box role like khedira..only that he will score all his chances unlike Sami. But he will be an engine under Mourinho
@RkFutbol It is not going to be easy but still very possible.
1. We need sporting structure
2. We need to be patient because result will take time but we fans are spoilt and want instant result which may or may not happen
3. Hire a good coach, if he wants to overhaul the squad, support him
We need a law that bars Governors from returning to the National Assembly. Let them return to where they came from.
Dapo Abiodun was a successful businessman my all standard. He should return there.
Gbenga Daniel was a successful engineer. He should return to his business.
Ibikunle Amosun & Co is a reputable accounting firm. Ajiri Omo Oye should return to auditing and accounting.
Why must Hope Uzodinma return to the Senate? What does Yahaya Bello do for a living that he can return to?
The Senate should not be a retirement home for useless and incompetent politicians.
