Last weekend, I decided to give my friends a treat by sponsoring a dinner for them. So we decided to go out to a pepper soup joint to enjoy ourselves.
I budgeted not to spend more than $7 on 3 plates i.e. at most a plate of pepper soup should be $2 but when we got to the canteen, we found out that a plate of pepper soup was $3. We didn't know what to do and wanted to find someplace else but @olujay decided to support us with an extra $2 so that our plan would not get shattered.
My plate of pepper soup
The image above was the plate of pepper soup that was served to me, it contained about 5 to 6 pieces of goat meat. The soup was not as spicy as I was expecting it to be. It was not as good as where I usually get pepper soup in Lagos, and it was even more expensive. In Lagos, I get a plate of pepper soup for $1 with a medium size piece of goat meat, but this was about $3.
We wanted to have fun with each other, to create memories, and also @olujay was travelling back home, so it was more like a little send-off for him too. Olujay got a very big cash fish with his pepper soup. Below is a picture.

That fish was massively big, and I must confess, my eyes was entering into olujay's pepper soup. Great for me too, his eye was entering into ours also and he wanted some goat meat from @t-gold and I. So we did trade by barter, we gave him some pieces of meat from our plates and we took slices from his massive fish.

For the drinks, we decided to buy two bottles of 5alive orange juice. The transparent bottle has a weight of 85cl and the other has a weight of 78cl but they are of the same price and quite a little difference in the taste. But I must say they taste good and did not cost up to $2 to get them both.
Three of us shared the two bottles and we were filled. We felt it was way cheaper compared to buying some other drinks. Moreover, we don't have a lot of money on our disposal so, we are trying to manage with what we have.

I was done finishing my pepper soup, and I thought @olujay needed some accompaniment or someone to assist him to finish up, so I thought to join him. You can see me tapping some grace from his plate of pepper soup in the picture above. Doing my duty as his friend, if I don't help him out, who will?
To conclude... Here is one last group photo I need to share here!

Greetings @starstrings01 😊💕
I can see you are really enjoying yourself with your friends. That's really so cute rich kids 😀😀. Anyways, you should have tried buying chivita active since it's really more nutritious and tasty than 5 alive popcan. I actually find those orange chaff irritating though.
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead 💕😀💕
I think it's because you find all that orang pulp irritating, that's why you'd prefer Chivita active. They are both great drinks, but the pulp one seems to call on me everytime. There is actually an alternative: the pulp drink has a pulp-free one that tastes just as great.
Wow! Rich kids dn Sabi all 5 alive and Chivita drinks... Nice one boss.. I get hope say me self go drink all these kind drinks one day sha
Thanks for your lovely reply @olujay and i hope you have a great day ahead 💕❤️💕
😅
Shebi we dey see all these rich kids dey drink am... na why I sabi am. If not for them...😁
Lol.... Yeye guy😂😂😂😂
I didn't know they call it chaff.. thanks for the new word.
Actually I have no problem with the chaff, in fact I like it. But come to think of it, 5alive active would have been nicee.

We ususally do not go out often, so it's in times like this that we spur ourselves to go out and enjoy life a little. Life shouldn't be all that hard.😁

Hi, am confused about the hive learners community.
If you can help me I would appreciate it.
Can anyone at all post or is only those users who have been accepted into your programme.
And what types of posts can a user make in this community.
Do I also need to be verified before i can post here? If yes what do I need to do to get verified.
You can post in Hive learners at any point but we most likely support verified authors.
My programme is another topic on its own and doesn't concern posting in the communities.
Oh ok. So how do I get verified?
You should visit the community discord server
Oh ok thanks for clarifying
Happy to help boss
You are a good friend, helping a fallen soldier to finish his meal hehe. I'm glad you were able to enjoy some good time before your friend's trip. When we go out with friends, the important thing is to have a special time, regardless of how much money we have or not.
Yeah. Having a good time is necessary oh. But while enjoying ourselves we shouldn’t put ourselves in financial issues, we should only do what our pockets can carry.
We spend most times indoors working, so we figured "what the heck? we should have fun." And there you have it now. Three pals chunking down meat and fish and spoons of pepper soup. It's important to bond and have special times too.
I think you have decide to oppress us everytime 😂😂😂and it’s fine I won’t say anything 🥺keep enjoying 😂😂.
Smiles... which oppression again now. You that is not posting your own is probably enjoying life.
I like what I see😄.... I think this is the first time I'll be seeing pepper soup in about 17 years....even if its over the phone😂....so what more can I say than God when??😄.its actually really nice seeing our hive brothers hanging out and having a fun time because why not?.....all work and no play makes @starstrings01, @olujay and @t-gold a.....🤐🤐I'll just zip it there😂🤐.
Happy new year bosses🙌🙌
I wish you all the best in the season.
My oga, I seriously low on cash at the moment so man has to manage funds oh.
Omoh does being a Minístrel of Enjoyment comes with weekly payments?
Omoh brother! when I go start work?
Once once, persons gats unwind o... life is already hard enough.
If we ever have Hive elections, no one can compete with him.
Greetings, boss.
Lol! On our next hangout, na you go sponsor oh! Make you finally be a Baller!
