5 hrs agoLast month, I had just ₦5,000 left to my name. No salary yet, no help coming, and bills staring at me. I had two options — beg or survive. I chose survival.
Day 1: I bought garri and groundnut — ₦700 gone.
Day 2: I walked from work to home — my legs were on fire.
Day 3: Noodles for breakfast and dinner. No lunch.
Day 4: I skipped food completely. Drank only water.
Day 5: I borrowed ₦500 worth of egg and paid back after salary.
Day 6: Bread and pure water, that’s all.
Day 7: I made it. Tired, weak, but I made it.
This experience humbled me. It reminded me that we Nigerians are natural survivors. But it also made me ask — why are so many of us suffering in silence?
Have you ever survived on less than ₦5,000 in a week?
How did you do it?
