Garri is originally spelt 'gari' and it is from ijebu (of the Yoruba stock). the white man added another 'r' to emphasise the 'r' sound, just as they did to Otta, Ebute Metta, Otto, Owerri, Warri, etc |

Garri is Yoruba name, reason(s): a. The whites don't refine cassava by frying so no name for it. i.e. fufu, tuwo. b. The End-product of cassava which is garri goes further in Yoruba to Eba but other tribe in Nigeria don't have another name for Eba but garri. Though Fufu can be to Igbo's and Cassava Tuwo to Hausa's. I STAND TO BE CORRECTED. |

Re: Where Does The Word 'garri' Come From? by ceaser: 8:51pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
Shehucom: its suprising that all d tribes in nigeria call it that general name. BTW na why southerners dey call EBA self garri The correct nomenclature is "Garri" for the cassava flour (the one you soak and drink) and "Eba" for the caked or moulded one (the one you prep with hot water and goes with stew) |
