There’s a dangerous level of poverty that doesn’t show on your face…
but your stomach knows the truth 😭
This is the stage where your account balance is low, your pocket is empty…
but your pride is still very much alive.
And that’s where the legendary lie comes in:
👉 “I’m not hungry.”
🤐 The Setup (How It Usually Starts)
You’re chilling with your friends… maybe lodge, maybe school environment.
Suddenly, one person says:
“Make we order food.”
Everybody agrees immediately.
Phones come out. Orders are flying.
Rice. Chicken. Shawarma. Everything complete 😭
You just dey there… observing like CCTV camera.
🧠 The Silent Panic
At that moment, your brain starts calculating:
“How much I get?” → 0.00
“Any pending alert?” → Nothing
“Who fit help me?” → Nobody online
You swallow hard.
But you can’t show weakness… not now 😭
😎 The Performance Begins
Then the question comes…
“Guy, you no go eat?”
This is your moment. Your Oscar moment.
You adjust your posture, clear your throat, and say:
👉 “Nah, I’m good. I already ate.”
Just like that.
Clean lie. Smooth delivery. No shaking.
Meanwhile… you have not eaten since yesterday 💀
🍲 Meanwhile Inside Your Body
Your stomach immediately reacts:
Grrrrrrrrrrr
Low battery 5%
System error: no food detected
But you? You’ll just sit there forming contentment like a monk 😭
👀 Overacting to Convince Them
Because the lie must be protected at all costs, you start adding extras:
“I’m trying to reduce how I eat.”
“I don’t really like eating late.”
“I’m on a kind of diet.”
DIET KE?? 😭
Since when did hunger become fitness plan??
🍗 The Real Pain
Now the food arrives…
Hot. Fresh. Smelling like heaven.
Chicken is shining. Rice is calling your name.
Your nose is working overtime. Your eyes are glued to their plates.
But your pride?
Your pride says: “Don’t move.”
😭 The Expectation
Deep down, you’re hoping…
“Maybe they’ll offer me small…”
Even if it’s just:
One spoon of rice
One tiny piece of chicken
Or even “taste am first” 😭
But guess what?
They won’t.
💔 The Heartbreak
Instead, you’ll hear:
👉 “You sure say you no go eat?”
👉 “Okay na, no wahala.”
And they continue eating like nothing happened.
At that moment, something dies inside you 😭
🤡 Maintaining the Lie
You’ll still be smiling o…
Even nodding your head like:
“Yes, I’m satisfied.”
Meanwhile your soul is whispering:
👉 “You don mess up.”
🚶 The Aftermath
When everything finishes, you quietly stand up and leave.
No noise. No evidence.
Straight to your room.
🥤 Survival Mode Activated
Now reality sets in:
You drink water like it’s food
You lie down and face the wall
You check your phone hoping for miracle alert
You start thinking of who to message:
“Bro, you fit help me with small something?” 😭
🧠 The Lesson You Never Learn
Funny thing is…
Next time, you’ll still do the same thing 😭
Because as a student, pride no dey ever finish.
Final Words 🤡
Students are not wicked…
we’re just trying to maintain standards in a broke economy 💔😂
But deep down, we all know the truth:
👉 “I’m not hungry” is the biggest lie we tell ourselves.
Now be honest 😏👇
Have you ever done this before?
Or you’re still currently doing it? 😭
Don’t lie this time o 🤡
