Close on the fruit picker thing. Fruit pickers don't get paid minimum wage. I know because my parents in law pick fruit every summer :) They get paid 600 Naira for every 500g of blueberries they pick. In two to three months they earn maybe 9 Million Naira but they work everyday from dawn until dusk. Then they return to the Philippines where that money goes a lot further than it does in Canada :)

As for what my son eats... Well, he is not a good cook and his girlfriend says he is living on survival rations. One can of tuna, a couple cups of rice and some hot sauce. Meager by Canadian standards but from what I'm hearing not a bad meal by Nigerian ones.....or maybe I'm incorrect, never been to Nigeria.

Personally if I was in Nigeria I think I'd have go make fast friends with beans .. tasty, nutritious and not as expensive as chicken :)
