Hardship: How to Get Free Food Every Day in Nigeria

The cost of living has skyrocketed, and many are finding it tough to put food on the table. But surviving the trenches of this tough economy requires a clever game plan. Here are some smart ways to score free food and keep hunger at bay during these challenging times.

 

Become a beggar

If nobody gives you food, at least they’ll give you money that you can use to buy food. Why do you think there are many beggars in this country? Not all of them are homeless poor people. Some of them are middle-class people hustling for free food.

 

Attend church events

Church events, especially during the Anglican Harvest season, are a goldmine for free food. Some churches feel more like an owambe party with the abundance of meals on offer. This is one insider tip you definitely want to keep in your survival playbook.

 

Become a newcomer in every church

Churches are always very excited to welcome newcomers. Whether it’s jollof rice and chicken they give or just meat pie and coke, you’ll get food. Although there are churches that give notepads and pens, so good luck.

 

Get a job at a restaurant

There’ll almost always be leftover food to take home and eat. Especially if you work at a fast food restaurant. It may not necessarily be the food you like, but you can’t be a beggar with a choice. It’s even better if you’re a server that works for a catering company. Servers always carry leftover food from events and even enjoy more than party guests.

 

Visit family members one by one

Family members will never let you leave their houses without at least having something to eat. But you need to be careful about which family member’s house you visit. Because you may land in the house of a relative who can only offer you chin-chin and juice.

 

Befriend a chef

Chefs are constantly always cooking and experimenting with food in their homes. Become friends with a chef, and always go over to their house to visit them. Just say, “Oh, I was passing, and I just said let me stop by and greet you.” They can ask you help taste their new recipe Once in a while, call them to ask how they are. The more they think you’re a good friend, the more they want to show you love the one way they know how to — by feeding you.

 

Attend events with Item seven

Attend weddings, birthdays, burials etc. — any kind of owambe, just go and answer present. All these events almost always have food. Don’t worry about not knowing the person hosting the event. Just dress up and enter with your full chest. Make sure you carry bag that’ll allow you to carry extra food back home.

 

Eat the sacrifice foods they leave at junctions

Have you seen what is inside the bowl of food that people leave as sacrifice to the gods? Beans, eggs, meat, rice, moi-moi, plantain etc. That’s three square meals in one. My dear, stand at a T-junction this night and collect any food you see. The gods will be fine; they’re immortal and they understand there’s sapa in the land.
