There are times when you’re dying of hunger but there’s either nothing to eat or you’re just too lazy to cook. In times like these, there are certain foods that always come through for you by saving your life. We’ve listed eight of them. 

Indomie

We can all agree that Indomie is the number one saviour. If you have at least ₦200 in your hand, you can buy Indomie to cook and be satisfied. If you have extra money, you can garnish it with some vegetables. Noodles will come through for you when you’re too tired to cook, broke, sick, or even just peckish. We can’t help but stan.

Bread 

The ultimate food for the lazy. You don’t have to put in any effort if you don’t want to; just eat the bread plain like that. If you have the strength, mix it up with some butter and jam. If you’re a rich person, add sardine or corned beef and you’re good to go.

Suya 

If there’s absolutely nothing to eat at home, there’s always a suya guy down the road that will save you from complete starvation. If you’re lucky, you may not have to spend any money; just keep asking the mallam to taste the different types of meat.

Soup and eba 

One common thing in every Nigerian household is that there’s always leftover soup in an ice cream container in the freezer. All you have to do is make eba and you’re good to go. If there was an apocalypse of some sort in this country, Nigerians will have soup stocked for months. You can never starve. 

Plantain

Plantain is another meal that saves people’s lives because it’s easily accessible and convenient. You can have it as bole, dodo, or boiled plantain. But be warned, this is not food for when you’re broke; plantain is expensive out here in these streets. 

 Cereal 

If all else fails, cereal is always there for you. If you don’t have money to buy proper cereal, you can break any biscuits inside a bowl of milk and make your own.
