RE: What Are The Long Term Metabolic Effects Of Childhood Malnutrition?
There's garri the high carbohydrates based staple food which is almost affordable by a lot of families. But most protein-rich food eg. meat, fish, etc are a bit more expensive that some families only get to have them once a week especially on Sundays.
I guess you are a Nigerian too. Even Garri price is rising. I don't know where this country is moving. The cost of living is too high. As a student, you have to work part-time because your parents cant definitely cater for all your needs. This has led to increase in crime rates and diminished the reputation of our country
No no how much money is "expensive" is my question. Expensive to one area is not always so expensive to another. I'm curious what expensive means in your area.
Ok. Most food more than $5 USD is regarded as not for the common folks. The government minimum wage is less than $100 USD per month to give you a perspective on things.
So ... One steemit post is a ton of money for people where you are from.
The minimum wage is a joke. Yes, a steemit can go a long way in improving the lives of people here. I just hope many of them join. Just that many are a bit cautious of anything done online due to losses incurred in a recent failed ponzi scheme just like all ponzi usually end.
