Jerry-jat:
We all had our special nickname for 'Garri' especially in schools.

Some know it as 'Student power', some 'Garium Sulphite' etc...

What nickname(s) do u best describe it with?... grin grin grin...
How does this affect the price of the commodity?

_BuBBle_: 10 5 5. The 10 is garri,5 is sugar the other 5 is groundnut that was when things were cheap(were sold that way for student to buy). Second name is Oto.
Oh that was the name we called it at FGC Ikot Ekpene when it came in the same sachet. 10 5 5 +Ekoki was for sure a life saver then. Oats still another name.

Kx: Is d ban on whoever uses d word "garri" in NL over?

I don't understand the ban of the name "garri" on nairaland.

NL should understand that garri is bigger than NL.

Garri has saved more lives in Nigeria than all the other food stuffs combined.

Me think, garri should have its own national holiday

because it is our national HERO
