Can someone please answer Dianne's question. I want this answer because my sister is there on mission and we should know how much $$ to send her monthly.

I have a fairly new friend who lives in Lagos. I want to help him buy food but the amount he says is reasonable means nothing to me. If I sent him $40.00. Could he live on that for any length of time.?
