Kovic08:oh, cos it is cheap? why is water not called poor man's drink then? the best things in life are free/cheap. |

Kovic08: you must still reside in the village. in vgc, 1 cubic meter of water (the amount you need to flush once) costs 40naira |

Kovic08: @OP: Probably because it's easily accessible? Because it's a cheap, local produce? Or maybe because garri defines who every Nigerian is? Some sort of national identity? |

Kovic08: i dont stay in vgc either but it pays to be informed. meanwhile, you forgot To clean yansh To cook And sometimes for swimming |

Kovic08: I believe the problem with garri is that its mainly taken plain and people haven't considered experimenting with it. Next time, when you have money, pour garri into a bowl, add a tin of sardines and then add evaporated tin milk. Don't add water. I can bet your ideaology of garri will change. |
