If you are a Nigerian, you may have read about, heard, or used the word “sapa.”
It is a slang used to describe an individual’s current state of absence of spendable money
Just like other life challenges, it can happen to anyone, unannounced.
When this occurs, it is imperative that your finances are well managed in areas like food, clothing, etc. until things get better.
One of the areas of priority in a man’s life is food, as it is a necessity, regardless of any condition we find ourselves.
Here are some affordable and filling food choices you can go for:
Garri
Cassava flakes, popularly known as “garri” in Nigeria, is a staple food that always saves the day in almost every home.
In fact, you’ll find garri in 7 or 8 out of every 10 Nigerian homes you visit.
You can soak it in water, eat it in solid form with any soup of your choice, or spread it on beans and enjoy!
Bread
With a loaf of #200 (Agege Bread though), you can have a filling breakfast.
It even gets better as it can be eaten with other foods like beans, tea, peanuts, butter, etc.
Concussion Rice
Preparation of soups and stews may require more money, but you can bypass this process.
All you do is cook your rice mixed with vegetable oil and other condiments readily available at home.
Concussion Spaghetti
This is the same way concussion rice is also prepared; the difference is just that you will be cooking with spaghetti instead of rice.
Beans
Interestingly, this is a protein-rich food that is very filling. You can prepare it on a stove or with firewood, as it mostly takes time to get well cooked.
It can be eaten with bread, garri, potatoes, and yam.
Just like life itself, ‘Sapa’ doesn’t last forever, but when it does come, you now know how to manage the situation better, especially when it comes to food.
