As a Nigeria, you might have heard people saying that when someone drinks garri, it means the person is poor and rached.

For example, people tend to laugh at those that soaks garri.

But that isn't the case.

So today I've compiled pics that will make you think twice before branding soaking or drinking of garri, a "poverty food"

Drinking garri doesn't mean you’re poor, but allowing the garri to swell-up before drinking is poverty.

I remember growing up, my parents won't allow us drink garri and most of my friends used to. I used to say when I grow up, I'll over drink garri...
I drank in the university sha grin A lot... But after, I can't stand it... While everyone drinks garri.. It's mainly to quench hunger.. People that drink garri for fun does that once in a while, that's why they take pictures...

With due respect to all onboard. On behalf of the Garri Sippers association of Nigeria (GASAN) I want to categorically state that apart from Sex, there's nothing under the surface of the earth that beats the feeling of taking a well prepared garri. Absolutely nothing!

Garri + chill water + groundnut + milk + suya ==> Heaven

Drinking garri with swags is not a sign of poverty. It is only poverty when you drink without swags.
