I’ll NEVER understand the concept of food pricing in Nigeria especially hotels.
In frame 2 while in my chartered keks to the airport, Lagos BEST party jollof rice, chicken and beef (N5200)
In frame 4 while in the hotel, a very untasty and miserably unpleasing plates of white rice, got meat pepper soup, goat meat stew (that tasted like Jesus’ arse) and a bizarre looking piece of croaker fish, (57k) - just 23k shy away from the room rate.
that year for unilag, i was dying of hunger. i hadn’t had any proper thing to eat for 3 days. just basing here and there from my guys food.
i thought i couldn’t call home because my mom and i had this fight a long time ago. i told her i was old enough to make my own decisions and she told me to cater for myself. for months, no money came from home. i was truly on my own hustling
one day, the hunger cracked me. i was curled up in bed in the hostel lmao. i texted my mother and i didn’t even have to talk much, she knew. she sent me 10k to find food to eat.
10k be like 1 million for my eyes lmao. water comot for my eyes. i run go buy bread and beans for Mama D. i dey chop, i dey shake😭😭😭
you can always call home for help.
My boyfriend once lent me ₦500,000, and I promised him I would pay it back in 5 months.
That meant every month after my salary dropped, I would send him ₦100,000 until I completed the money. So every month, I kept to my word.
First month = paid.
Second month = paid.
Third month = paid.
Fourth month = paid.
Now, on the last month when I wanted to complete the payment, he had earlier told me to call him immediately after sending the money. And I did. Immediately I sent the money, I called him like he said. While we were still on the phone, I suddenly received an alert of ₦500,000😭 I was confused and asked him why he sent the money back. And then he said something that melted me completely😭❤️ "Well done my Queen. You see, babe… the money was never the issue. I could never collect that money back from you. I just wanted to see if you were truly a woman of your word. A lot of people make promises, but only a few actually keep them. You did… and that says a lot about you. You can keep the money. What mattered to me was your sincerity… and you’ve already shown me that❤️ And honestly, that’s one of the best qualities a woman can have"❤️
Omo… I replayed those sweet words in my head for two weeks straight😭😍 Sweet words from someone you love can stay in your heart for a very long time❤
