The price of garri keeps increasing. A paint of garri is 4,000 naira.

Any cheap alternative to garri that one can use to eat soup?

Gari has no substitute. You can only farm to produce your own.

In Lagos is 4-4500 all around. Something that was sold for 700 naira a year ago.


I guess we will have to brace up.
Some of us will have to make farming a hobby to meet certain needs. Some of us will require bulk capital to go into large scale farming.

Have you tried sawdust? It's free from the sawmill or 50 Naira per garawa depending on the wood quality.

Alternatively, grow your own cassava and make your own gari.
do you know how unintelligent you sound? So now everyone should be a farmer in Nigeria to make ends meet? Call a spade a spade.

Garri has substitute. Its just that some of us are obsessed with cassava derivatives.

All wheat derivatives used as swallow, plantain flour, yam flour, rice flour, maize flour......

That's what ma called it, a hobby. Funny thing was, from small cassava grown on the small patches of fertile land around the house, we'd get gari and fufu, and the maize we grew provided us with ogi. She even made us create a fence with bitter leave to stop people from stealing our ugwu. And our biscuits were pawpaw.

We didn't feed the nation, but we didn't need to consider sawdust neither.

Plantain flour and yam flour are expensive same as wheat.
The only alternative I can give now is pray.

Yeah, we pray.
But whatever little space of land we might have within our environment we just have to plant/farm some of these food crops.

And what if everybody goes into subsistence agriculture, which effects would it have on the economy, Cassava and yam are not easy to plant in any little space. Considering the fact that most of us lives in rented apartments, this wasn't a main issue for Nigeria 10years old.
What's happening?
Prices of food items are rising everyday and you still call it inflation.

Don't you think you ought to do whatever needs doing to make your ends meet if they don't meet already?

No, everyone shouldn't need to be a farmer to make their ends meet. There's lots of people here not crying about gari because their ends meet already. But if your ends so don't meet that you need to be crying here about gari, then farming is an option, along with yahooism or ashewo or selling your organs or robbery.

And if you survive till the next election, consider using your pvc much more intelligently than you did in the past.

Fair enough. But one big difference between garri and the ones you listed is you can't add groundnuts and water to take it, has to be cooked.

lol what do you mean? Tribalism and sentiments didn't allow some of you vote for the man eager to change Nigeria for the best, then you all voted for Mr Emilokan and now want everyone to be a farmer because it happens that way in other countries? Funny people.

Elubo. Elubo is around 1800 per paint whilesale price at my base



If not that Nigerians are not research minded, 200,000 Naira invested into cassava farming can provide a family of 5-8 with Garri, fufu and the likes for at least 4-7 months of daily consumption
If Fulanis and their cows allow you abi?
You think many people don't want to farm!
