@Carrergirl @nurse-chi
This is another hangout, join in

Please mark my present

Am just coming back from market now

Well, first off, the price of gas here presently is ₦1,200 per kg. And I must tell you, it has not been easy at all. Cooking has because something else on it's own, you can't just boil water to bathe anyhow naw. "Oga, use cold water or no baff sef." That's what my neighbor do say anytime I complain about how fast my gas dey take finish.

It feels like the times gone are better, what we use in filling a full 6kg then is what we use in filling 1-2kg now. Funniest part is, my gas and some stuffs just got stolen, that was how naija take hit me as I dey like this. Cause I need to to start preparing to go to where I was posted to for service, I would have to buy another gas🤦.

So, pending the few days I have to resume, what do I do, I and my neighbor contribute to fill up her gas, that's what I make use of, and when that isn't available, she has a charcoal stove too. That's what I use. Cause now, man gats to calculate 😁. I thought I had let go and grown past charcoal but then, l find myself here o.
Even some of our neighbors now come to queue for the charcoal stove, they want to cook beans and the likes and they can't afford to use gas😊, this thing is everywhere.

And we can't deny the fact that cooking isn't as simple as before, you have to think, decide, calculate and all. The hike in price of gas hasn't just affected our cooking, it has changed our daily routines, it has constitute to even our mood swings. You can't just come and borrow gas anyhow😁.

It is well, we keep hoping for a change and praying to God.

Let the dive begin.
TGIF
Soooo excited today.
Even though it didn't just happen
It came with its bits....
Oya bring it on.
Huraaaay
It's Friday

This weekend topic ehn is something I have been battling since.

The last gas I filled myself in this house was for the price of 1800 per kg, since it finished we resulted to using firewood to cook, well when you stay with older people you tend to dance to their term. And when there is light , I use the hot plate too

Omo let me not lie, they actually dumped the work of cooking to me this past days , until I felt ill and they had to go and fill it three days ago lol.

See ehn it's not even funny again.

@justfavour cannot relate at all.
@cohlson you will sha tell me to carry the gas on my head to that area. How much is it now in your side? Have you had to refill?

Mannnnnnnn!!!! 55+ comments already???
Anyways im not ready yet…. I’ll update in a few… getting my sauce ready.

Our expenses just increased again, yet, salary remain the same

Life is hard...but God dey shaa

@princessbusayo @merit.ahama @empressjay

Una happy weekend oo

Great quote to start things off, Sam! Buzzing the hive all weekend long! 🚀

Hmmm, this matter tie wrapper o. Cooking gas that we were managing is now too expensive that you'd have to spend almost double the price to refill your gas bottle.

Just last week, I bought a kg for ₦1,300 and my gas bottle is 14.5kg. Imagine the amount I spent just on gas o. 🙆

Before now, I was alternating gas with electric stove but as dem don carry pre-paid meter install for me, e don be for electric stove be that. 😂

Abeg I wan sell the stove, who need am? 🙄

I don talk am as e dey my mind. Make I go hustle for money. Una doh.

@dwixer @adangwa @ellizy, make una come chuck mouth for the matter.

!BBH

The price of cooking gas is just getting higher day by day, and it’s affecting almost everybody. Last week, I filled our gas at the rate of #1,700 per kg, and some people even bought theirs higher than that. If they increase it again, I’m not sure how people will cope because many might end up going back to be using firewood or charcoal to cook. This gas price is making life even more difficult for a lot of families especially those that can't afford it.

Happy weekend to you all.

It is well… that’s all I can say but God is taking control oo. It was just recently I discovered Gas has skyrocketed to #1700 per kg. Though this is much expensive, but for me, that wouldn’t stop me from cooking. I have a 6kg cylinder I fill full and last me till 2 months and some weeks. I have been thinking of getting an electric cooker to complement gas because of the constant electricity we have now. At least it will also save me from using the gas every time but for now, I don’t have any alternative than to keep buying gas and even if it goes up to #2000, I believe God will always make a way out.

I wish it could be reduced for the sake of those who barely feed much but do we have a choice in a country where things are done without considering the poor ones. It is well.

What do you have to say to this @nkemakonam89 @oluwa-tosin and @fashtioluwa?

Sincerely speaking! This is like a free and open source of allowing me pour out my mind.

Like who send me come when I supposed dey chop manna for heaven? Anyways life goes on.

Back in the days when a kg of gas was 250naira or 300naira and they were even imploring us to switch from kerosene stove to using gas cylinder. If ONLY AND IF ONLY....

NOW, we are currently filling a kg of gas in my area for ONE THOUSAND AND EIGHT HUNDRED NAIRA (I can't put the ONLY cos I might get there tomorrow morning and is increasing by 50naira) with no other option. The annoying fact is that without cooking much, gas is already looking belubelu like low current electricity.

Forgetting something on fire is like nurse forgetting needle in my body

We are still trying to see if the current charcoal stove purchase will work out but it hasn't yet but hopefully we can get it soon so we can leave this era of gas as Only source of cooking.

@chefqueen @treasuree @cious @ozd @beckyroyal How much is gas in your area and do you still cook beans or yam and beans

"No one should waste my gas oo". "Don't put on that gas if you've not set the pot on top". "If that gas finish, ona go dey chop raw food stuff." "You guys know how much I filled that gas with, better don't make me talk too much." "Warm food keh, better go and eat that food as it is." "Why won't you burn food, when you're not the one filling the gas, but my husband?" And many more 😂😂

These has turned into national anthem in my house since the last time my mom filled the gas. She bought gas at the rate of 1200 per kg and she has been singing that in our ears.

Now, I'm reading people's comment and seeing that they actually buy gas for 1700 and 1800. I just hope it goes down or remain that 1200 the next time my mom goes to buy, else our ears would just bleed, lol. I totally get her, though.

I don't actually expect it to go down, because truth is, it might not, so it's should just remain as it is and not go higher.
Things are hard for people as it is already.

Well... omo is all I can say

I went to fill gas last week, and I was on the cue when an old lady shouted ewo 1,350 per kg?, normally gas in my area usually between 1,100 or 1,150 but it's suddenly added extra 200, we had no choice than to comply,

this is one thing about increment in price of Goods and services, it's the final consumer who bears the brunt of all of that,

I saw @afriken saying 1,800 and I almost screamed .... here it's 1,350 now, but I know there was a time inalmkst bought gas for almost 2k .....

this country has a way of mounting excess pressure on you everyday you thrive so hard to meet up other pressing needs but it's well God will safe us.

come on in @jmis101 @careergirl @blackbird44 @beautyme

Wow what a topical issue.

I went yesterday with my friend to fill the gas, and it was 1550 naira per KG.

I don't know where we are driving to in this country.

Since yesterday, I have not cooked at home, make the small gas no finish, I eat at the restaurant 🤣🤣🤣

But let's see how tomorrow will be

Wait ooo, it seems I am the only one that doesn't know the price of gas, I will make sure to ask tomorrow

Omor.. the price of gas increasing and decreasing today in this part of the world is alarming.
Like the one that shocked me most was when our Gass finished on Wednesday so my elder sis wasn't around I had to rush to fill 1kg so I can hurry up and go to church. I did that at the rate of 1400 but returning back from mid week service that same day, I g realised that my sis refilled it at 2k

At first I was thinking she's joking like her normal play.
When I passed the next morning, I saw it written boldly 'Gas 2000."

I started imagining my life on cold days how will I boil water to bath, how will I prepare my regular beans and yam.

Like someone should take me back to those days where gas was 250 per kilo and I'll refilled my gas full without feeling anything.
Ohh mbom mi.. I can't even handle charcoal or fire wood
