Draslo:
In the very wise words of Fela;

"If you say you be colonial man,
You don be slave man before
Them don release you now
But you never release yourself."

E be so, e be so e be so dem dey overdo all the things wey dem dey do e be so

So you don't know what they call "Local name" Abi,

I no wan blame you sha, cause e be like say you no be Science student


So if I wan beg garri from you, I go say bros please give me granulated cassava? And you no go tell me to go eat my English

Or you will go to a Moi moi seller and tell them to give you bean budding and dem no go dey look you like crazy fellow...

This is Nigeria and we have local name for everything, depending on which side of the country you are. Same goes to every other country throughout the world...


#Slaverymentality

Nigerians too dey over do.

Naso one madam rice and pepper soup for my area won deaf our ear with english wey she dey speak to her little daughter. If e nor good for your mouth, quit.

I nor know why some people (parents) dey see pidgin as forbidden language, dem prefer english.

God know say i go teach my children pidgin well.

We too like play for this country

Thanks for this @op

But go to any market near you and tell the [b][/b]zobo woman you wan buy hibiscus tea or the moi moi woman you wan buy bean pudding

The funniest of it all is that kulikuli you called Peanut bars

OP talk true no be moimoi you sef Dey call am when you want to buy?

Agidi jollof nko?

liveyourlife007:
go to market and say you want to buy cassava granules, I trust those Yoruba market women, they will insult heaven and Earth from your body. they will be like "weyrey, o gboyinbo lo wan ra garri Loja"

The born again garri seller wey no wan insult am go say she never sell cassava granules for her life... Na only Garri she dey sell

You have zero idea how language work.
There's no name for anything on earth. Language is arbitrary, anything a group of people, in a cert geographical location accept to call an object is it's name.
There's literally no way on earth you will go to the market and tell traders you want to buy granulated cassava that you won't end up embarrassing yourself

Which one b Beans buns OP na Beans cake I know oo(Akara)

when we stop being inferior and second class. Mexico calls their street food "Taco" ... everywhere in the world it's called Taco. And you want us to call Garri that contraption you wrote there. If foreigners can't pronounced Garri, there should take online class for that. Enough of all these nonsense

Shey oyinbo dey eat Garri ni? Abi, oyinbo Sabi fry Akara, them no dey take Pap either. We originate all these and we will call it whatever we deem fit

All these illiterates forming English untop our own local foods. Why are Nigerians like this nah?. Must it be the western countries that will give us names for everything? All these things you mentioned are our local foods and the names we call them are Ok. Tell us the local name for pizza and ice cream nah.

Garri na garri abeg.

chatinent:
Abi if I call it garri, e no go answer me?

Abi how many garri sellers knows it called cassava granules

Nickymezor:
Which one b Beans buns OP na Beans cake I know oo(Akara)

All in all na still akara

Will the name reduce the prize in the market?? Garri nah garri leave mata

Enter ikotun market tell them say u want buy (Granulated cassava or cassava granules) n see if u will not sleep in d market that day..

Carry am go bank go collect money.

Trash.

Nbotee:
Sometimes we end up sounding stupid while trying to feel enlightened.. Pizza is an Italian name, spaghetti is an Italian name, basically every international delicacy U know is named in the native name of the countries dey are from but a Nigerian who is still struggling for relevance is trying to tell us garri is supposed to have an English name

I wish I could like this your post more than once. The op and his likes are suffering from inferiority complex.

Let me call Queen Eliza and find out if she knows what garri is and what what's it's called in her language if she says she knows.
I will be back.

Garrium Sulphite G2SO4

Soluble in concentrated h20 in the presence of c6h1206

OK
We hear
Thank you

the OP is suffering from 'complex disorder.'

Everyone understands Gari as Gari in Nigeria, irrespective of your tribe, as long as English is meant for understanding, don't tamper with Our Gari.,.

moimoi is the dictionary, advance Lerner's dictionary for that matter, you can't be vocabulary driven than the dictionary itself...

OP, you are just plain cheap and lack appreciation for your own culture.

I agree with you the OP don't have common sense even a name like chioma, OP will say it's not correct name but "God is good" is the correct name.

otipoju:


Try and borrow yourself a small brain. No let ITK turn you to mumu.

Garri is garri, akara is akara small time you go say your name is not Adebayo and the correct name is " Crown meets Joy " because you dont have single sense.
