What's wrong with Indian Gari? Ayahm not understanding

Why can the two not go hand in hand?
Or must we deal with Boko Haram before throwing out kidnappers?

curiousmind11:


I guess you're either the importer of this garri or the officer that passed this through the border. Do Indians eat Garri?

People patronizing these goods that we have comparative advantage are part of our problems in this country.

This is sad!

Did anyone notice where on the pack it says 500g = 1.1 pounds. Indians deceiving Nigerians

world1:

Alot is wrong with it.
Nigeria is the largest producer of cassava. How on earth should we be importing gari into our market? We are not encouraging our industry to grow at all. Umudike and IITA should have better technologies for the processing of cassava into gari than importing from India.

OP, I don't think Indian garri should not be imported.

I think you're missing the big picture. It seems like this might be an Indian delicacy ( it might taste different).

Since a lot of Indians live in Nigeria, it makes sense that there's a store that imports Indian food and sells it here.

Same thing that happens in places like Canada or even the U.S. using indomie as an example, there are local noodles but Nigerians might prefer to buy indomie.


It will become a problem, if your local market was selling imported garri from India instead of Nigerian garri, not a fancy store. I really doubt that imported Indian garri is sold at the local market. This is not something to shout about.


Imagine if oyinbo countries start banning specialty stores from selling egusi , pepper or crayfish. I'm not sure it will go over well.

Nigeria has been sold to Indians and Chinese (Asians) by our govt and the agencies.

Una sabi lie ehn! Shey Indians know wetin be garri? Which kine lie be dis, abeg upgrade your lies, or u find a better one. And one more thing, even if they know what cassava flour is, do they know how to or can they fry it.

Nigerians should try and be a little more enluightened in their statements.


Firstly why is he/she blaming NAFDAC AND Customs. Is the garri unsafe? Is Garri banned? NafDacs job is to make sure food sold in Nigeria is safe for consumption, Customs job is to make sure banned items don't get in. So again I ask you,..... is garri banned?

As far as National shame, let me point you in the direction of imported petrol and diesel. I think you should ficus your energies more on the big national disgrace which is spending over half of your forex importing petroleum products.


We have bigger fish to worry about than imported garri.

allrightsir:



why? big fish has already killed us. if we had focussed on the small fish, that mentality would have become ingrained and we won't have problems with the big fish.


Those blaming NAFDAC or Customs are vexing with the wrong people. They should take responsibility if they are that bothered because we are all collectively responsible. for the rot in the country Remember Lassa fever caused by RATS peeing on garri dried out in the open? In the centuries we have been making garri, All our businessmen traders and farmers have not been able to find a hygienic way of producing our garri. Are we waiting for govt to establish garri factory for us? Nigerians did not spot the opportunity the Indians spotted because they were busy praying, when a foreigner spots it , we start to vex, make noise but guess what...nothing changes!!!!


We are a use a useless bunch of people. Instead of tacking our problems head on we are all praying, why won't we be importing garri and petrol?

The problems we are witnessing are a reflection of the average Nigerian. This is a failed country, better come to terms with it. Health system, education, transport are non-existent, you are importing palm oil, petrol, tomatoes you are worried about garri. Abeg smell the coffee, the horse has left the stable!!!


Spare me the bullshit, the same people complaining are the same people that will refuse to eat local rice. America is a great country because they buy American, same with the Brits, we are not even proud to speak in our own accents, or answer our own nanes, so what's all this noise over imported garri?

Mrjo:
i think we hav people that patronise our garri so stop ranting b/cus @the end price and masses will decide
