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

grin grin grin

@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? cheesy cheesy cheesy

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. grin
