Was Hanging Out With My Friends the other Day And An Argument Broke Out When I Told Them The Jacky We Were Drinking Isn't Any Different From The Ogogoro Brewed In The Creeks!
They All Shouted Me Down Saying Ogogoro is an Illicit Gin that is Consumed By The Poor and Has Devastating Health Consequences!
All Efforts to Prove to them that Jack and Sapele Water Are Similar in everything except in Appeal and Taste Proved Abortive!
Then I went home and researched..It then occurred to me that the Whiteman has Aggressively Imposed his "Illicit Gin" on us while urging urs to see ours as Poison..
All over the World, Countries Promote their Beverages as the No.1 national Drink( Tequila, Sake, Cider, Scotch, etc)...yet here, we call ours 'Illicit..How Sad..
A Visit to the Supermarket Liquor Section shows exotic Liquor with Alc. Content ranging from 0.1 to 66% yet our dear "Ogogoro" is always Conspicuously Missing from the Shelves?
I think the Government should Regulate the Production and Sale of Ogogoro, and Promote Investment in the Market..since its our own flavour!

As for me, if I must take Spirit and Coke, Then It should be Sapele Water and Coke..Afterall, all of them have the same Goal of Packing my Liver.

What do you guyz think?

same of the same

@OP: you've said it all!
Unfortunately, we're still suffering from Slavery of Mindset. Which is why we patronizes more of foreign products.
But Ogogoro can shut down one's kidney o.

You see, this where we got it wrong. OGOGORO na Ogogoro no matter what fancy name you choose to call it. Jack Daniels or Jack Bouer its all the same stuff.
