Is Drinking Garri A Sign Of Poverty ? by tayooluwole: 5:18pm On Sep 26, 2016 |
I was arguing with one of my guy today that I only give garri an option only when I have no alternative or running on poverty-level-cash. And I think this is applicable to everyone. But he differed with me that there are rich people that opt for garri for enjoyment and relaxation. Then I beggin to wonder that why on earth would one choose garri among several sophisticated alternatives. As for me, I don't always think weather garri ever existed or not in the time of plenty but I passionately hold onto it as if it is my destined food any time ma pocket they seriously frown.... |

Garri has been saving Nigerians since Adam and Eve first had sex. So you thinking that drinking garri is a sign of poverty, nna Eh, na you sabi. Will you say people like KCee, Psquare, are also poor because they drink garri? |

ITbomb: My brother that's what u were brought up with probably since d days of ur hustling, the thing don master u sote hardly u feat shop beans without garri. Even at this, my brother u still have a lot to do in knowing where to enjoy better life cos I can't imagine you going to a sophiticated resturant and demand garri. I think this is absolutely impossible. Seriously, u may have money now but u have not used it well... |

Danhumprey: Just forget am, let me use ma own as an example... Initially, ah they drink garri like mad, I mean like mad as if it is d best food in d world, but a little change in the cash level like this, I only remeber garri ever existed only when I go to market and see it on display or when I once in a while opt to eat EBA |

tayooluwole:I can't even order for beans in a restaurant (sophisticated or not). Beans is one of the few delicacies that must be prepared in the house for me to eat. The other stuff I can't buy outside is fufu. I believe you have not seen a home made garri (the one with so little chaff that there's no need to filter) mixed with peak milk (powdered), milo and groundnut. That is a delicacy 1 Like |

tayooluwole:The way you are talking, your type were people that drank garri heavily and now you move from one extreme to the other. We that took it moderately only when situation demands (as with the beans example) sees it differently |

Poverty is when some people here feel that they can only drink Garri soaked in water when they are broke. Garri soaked in water serves as a healthy snack than most of the processed food we have today. |
