Pop star D'banj took to social media to slammed Nigerians for placing much attention of imported products and failed to support their own insisting many of the products we embrace and cherish in the country are foreign products.


Read his emotional outburst after the cut:


He wrote

Guys, KokoGarri is available on Konga & in Ebeano Stores!

Who owns Ciroc vodka? Who owns Beats headphones? Who own RocknRepublic? The list goes on. What we do in Nigeria is to laugh at people’s hustle. And when it starts paying, creating jobs and moving the person to the next level, we are quick to ask why is the person living so large? Does he know how many people are hustling and going to bed hungry? But we don’t consider the person’s hustle in the beginning worthy of support. I am a strong Supporter of Nigerian Brands. How many politicians bought this Koko Garri to give their supporters? But they gave imported rice abi? When Otunba Ghadaffi started his mobile toilets, people called him “Agbe po!!!” It wasn’t for long, others joined DMT to do what he was laughed at. I know that a few think what’s DBanj thinking to invest in Garri. Newsflash!!!! I bet you all that is a $30b market. KOKOGARRI to be promoted & distributed in hotels and restaurants. Wherever beans and moi-moi is served, there should be packs of Koko Garri as options to pap, dodo and yam. Trust me, you will see how it will grow. I think there should be a Garri soaking competition sef. The hamburger competitions we see on television don’t even have as much entertainment value…
Round 1, Koko Garri and groundnuts,
Round 2, Koko Garri and coconut,
Round 3 Koko and Kilishi… Powered by Eva Water and Dangote sugar… Winner gets a Koko Garri distribution vehicle and a start up store

#KokoGarri #IjebuRedefined#NigerianBrand cc @iambangalee

It's funny @ face value but the guy actually uttered some truths sha...

We no dey like appreciate our own!

And that garri soaking competition ain't such a bad idea.. afterall.. on SonyMax via DSTV there's this show "Man vs Food Nation" where peeps render..ahem.."reverse culinary exploits" vis à vis who can download the largest portion of particular dishes set @ under a specific time-frame...

LOL..

I swear.. its not such a bad idea sha!!!

But as for patronizing Koko-garri...

My lips are sealed on this one!

...scratch that..

Since we all know Naija peeps too like efizzi.. why not release Koko Garri in different flavors..

I mean.. Koko-garri "Strawberry Flavour", Koko-garri "Banana Flavor" or Spicy Koko-garri "Bushmeat Flavor" Wont be such bad ideas or don't you'all think?? Nigerians need new flavors..new palettes..new tastes mehn!! heck, if not for Orijin and LaCasera, we'd still be stuck with star, Gulder and Coke and Fanta tilleh kingdom come!!! Lol!

It's the 21st century Baaybayy!!!!.. new ideas are welcome mehn!!

1. why did Uncle Banj stop wearing his native wears he used to rock back then? Why is he wearing imported wears and suit and tie now.
2. Mr Banj always act like he doesn't give a daman about anything that has to do with Nigeria before,now that he needs Nigerians to patronize his goods,he's now shouting. If you want Nigerians to love you and your product,you show love first,not expecting them to show love to you first.
3. I credit Mr Banj for trying to take garri production to the next level,try to do enough adverts and promotions,make it in different flavors and make people spot the differences between mama Muniru's garri and well packaged koko garri.
4. Nice innovation Uncle Banj. Let all those people that have been forming for garri or thinking it's a poor man's food start to embrace. 
5. I like your spirit Uncle Banj,good you have that believe that garri can be a staple food for everybody in Nigeria
6. Thanks for telling us about Otunba Ghadaffi cos this is my first time of hearing that name and hearing about him,thats why you'll always be our big brother Uncle Banj

This is a nice investment but not a billion dollar investment, why? because I'd rather buy a basin of garri for 1500naira than buy 10cups of garri at 1000naira. Secondly, the percentage of middle class and poor people in Nigeria are much more higher than the rich who can afford it. All in all, it's a good investment. More grease to your elbows. And the statement about people envying you when you are flexing but abusing you during you hustle is the bomb. Very soon they will cook up something in the media to accuse you.

When is the competition startin abeg

exactly my thought,he should bit the price down well like Dangote sugar,only that he won't gain much at first,only that he should try to stay long in the business till he start making big money from it because most innovators always end up running away if they feel they're loosing money or not gaining money like they expect

U suppose add kulikuli now












Fvuck haters

Akara and garri?

Look at him accusing nigerians of not patronizing locally made goods, but his videos are shoot abroad. He left his nigerian group mohits and join foreign group. Anyway i think your garri will sell more abroad for nigerians living abroad. Garri is a product that does not need advert to sell in nigeria. But the packaging is ok but does it taste like ijebu garri?

Dbanj be like "why me"

And I'm like "Oliver twist" (ask for more)

No comment

No mind them! l will never feel hate for any legitimate enterprise that is creating value and employment opportunities.

@haters

People will always condemn and castigate you once you are starting anything whether its local or imported products.just focus on what you are doing and have that self-belief you will succeed in it.

Sincerely he spoke sm honest truth... Buh what is the price... How much is it sold for... ..
