some nairalanders can process garri from scratch to finish. from sticking the sticks into the ground, to harvesting, to grinding , to  putting it in the jack, to frying it and bagging it. then squatting to put it on their heads and carrying it to the market to be sold. its a gift and should be included in ones resume.  Grin

lol you guys wan kill me with laughter, LMAO omy Lord, haha, hehehe, Spoilt and Osisi, kini now, shee efe pour sand sand ninu garri mi ni, lol just joking. You guys made me laugh so hard my oyinbo roommate dey look me like say i dey craze, lol

I grew up in Barracks where lots of garri was processed. my dad has cassava farm too and we do harvest our cassava in making garri for the house instead of buying,  Grin So my family NEVER buy garri for use in the house.
so i can make garri (i hate frying, got my hands burnt alot the first time i tried it. so mom don't let me fry garri  Cheesy). There are people who come from the villages to peel for money. they do it all and also frying too while mom paid them and go for her business. Me and my sis stop by to see that everything is done well.


ayefele200, haha, lol that was hilarious.  Nah, it should be free please. Ha! Ibadan na garri land too, you know abi?

If you live in the barracks, it's likely your family produce its own garri. Many families (including mine) have cassava and corn farms. We have a huge cassava and corn farm where my parents pay jobs to clear after planting since dad is always traveling and mom has her business to run. I watch those working those garri machines, not something a young lady can do,  Grin those muscle guys dey plenty. Mine was to make sure those helping my mom did it well. And when I visit the village, my young self helps granny.

Mind you, the process of making garri you all loved isn't easy   Wink

by the way, I don't have a former life. Life dey kampe  Wink

what? what world are you in Spoilt? You don't know?

garri is the most sought after food in nigeria. not even rice is up to garri you know. and who do you think is responsible for the peeling to feed the million people in nigeria ? It ain't free.

Yes they do peel for money/living and true, the Labours of our heros past shall never be in vain.

When next you smoke garri, Say a prayer to those under the sun and shade peeling cassava for your stomach  Grin.

I read some years ago that Marriam Babangida was trying to invent a machine for peeling, don't know the outcome of that project.

Spoilt, i don't think ajebutters will be able to handle a sharp knief to peel cassava o  Cheesy. I have watched and it's ain't funny I tell you.

Once I tried to peel cassava I cut my hands real bad. I still carry the mark on my 2 and 4 fingers. And ma love me too much to let me pass through that again,  Grin Grin Cheesy

music: All hail the farmer, peelers and fryers. and the Soaketh and Smoketh they ain't know what they do  Grin

The supply I justly  acquired recently is useless
It tastes like drinking  ashes but I have no choice.
I've tried  it with peak milk,nido no change.

I feel like asking for a refund!
If not that I aready drank some out of desperation,I would have gone to make trouble at that store for selling me fake,adulterated garri.
