How a Nigerian spends just 1,000 naira on 3 square meals a day

For breakfast I had Bread and steaming hot Hausa KOKO (Pap) with No milk or sugar just enough ginger and cloves to spice up my morning.

Bread- ₦100
(This bread is the cheapest you can get in this region. It tastes like cardboard paper but it is very filling. Some people say it is so cheap because they mix the flour with gero millet and sawdust)

Koko -₦50

Breakfast TOTAL = ₦ 150


For lunch, I love to eat light so i won’t feel lazy or sleepy while I work.

Rice- ₦200 (the woman selling is so stingy with her rice)

Beef ₦100 and ponmo ₦ 50

I also bought some oranges to snack on. I make sure I take fruits everyday.

3 pieces of orange- ₦50

LUNCH TOTAL= ₦400

Tip: if you want to buy food always make sure you go with your own plate. Don’t allow them to serve you food in plastic bag or styrofoam


For dinner, I had Beans. It was very filling and I enjoyed a good night’s sleep.

Beans- ₦300
