In Nigeria today, not having money in your pocket is tantamount to not breathing.
In fact, the second to the highest denomination of Naira (N500) does not carry too much value again as even a little boy can spend it within a snap of his finger; How much more an adult? There are some things you can do with #500 as a grown man even when it seems less in value.
1. Buy Fuel: One of the most important things to have in Nigeria these days is petrol. If you have fuel, you are a rich person. Your N500 note can buy you 6 litres of fuel and this can run your ‘I better pass my neighbor generator’ for over 8 hours or more!NaijGist brings to you top 5 things you can do with a N500 note:
2. You Can Have Sex: You don’t need all the shenanigans. A pack of condoms goes for as low as N50. Buy your babe a malt drink and yourself a beer…I bet you will still have like N50 change and you are good to go!
3. Recharge Your Lines: If you are using three different lines, you can conveniently recharge those three lines and be okay ‘airtime-wise’ for a few days.
4. Eat Good Food: Forget eateries! You can actually eat good food at a local ‘buka’. Goat meat (Ogufe) goes for N250, 3 wraps of Amala is N150 and a bottle of water is N50. Wanting to have varieties is what gets you out of your budget. Try to stay your lane with your N5oo.
5. You can buy Underwear: You do not need popular names for your undies as a guy. Nobody cares who you are wearing. A BYC goes for less than N5oo!
All these above and more go a long way to show that life is actually not so difficult with a #500 note in your pocket. Whichever way you find the N500, it is certain that it still commands some level of purchasing power in the Nigerian economy, especially with the low income earner. What other things do you think a N500 note can buy?
