U toast it to a 100 degrees C u mean?

But u know we no de use measurement . So o said 5 minutes on fire. Inside dry pot to ensure it gets hot enough to kill lasaa. I am assumjng you know the virus kpemes at 100 degrees. If so, then yes.

I think the whole making eba with garri id dangerous. There is no proof that water will heat the garri up enough. Unless it is being cooked on fire. But fire eba becomes gummy

One of the most common "delicacies" of the people of Edo North is the soaking and drinking soured garri. Both the young and the old irrespective of social status or class are all involve. If you doubt me ask NwaAmaikpe.

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"

at times the taste of garri is al you need to coo down or get over a hangover or simply chill while u wait for the main food to be prepared, at times easiest thing to eat when no source of fire...gas, stove etc...me i like spicing my weekends with ijebu garri, fried titus, milk, groundnut etc...

You don't drink gari; you eat it! That's just the proper way of saying it. Open your mind to newness, bros.
lol, if u consider garri as liquid, then you're drinking, if as solid, then you're eating. Depends on ur perspective bros.

English is our language it is our lingua franca(main language) so you must know it or else to the outside world you're a standard illiterate.


Don't be deceived. How many countries colonized by England Speak it like the English themselves? You can never speak someone's language more than he himself especially if you are not living within the confines of his country where the traditional people speak it. Speaking good English is not even a criterion for higher achievements.
How many great countries today speak English very well? E.g China, France, Germany, Japan, Russia etc Ask yourself why the enslavement mentality can never leave you Africans.

Putin can speak English but prefers to speak Russian even when communicating with an important personality like Trump, are you better than him because you can speak good English? You are not superior just because you can speak English very well, i rather respect mathematicians than English speaking experts.
Because you can never be more English than the English themselves.
Think on all these things.

China's lingua franca is Mandarin.
France's Lingua Franca is French.
Germany's lingua franca is German.
Japan is Japanese. You
Russia has their own lingua franca Putin speaks English because he is speaking with Trump who is an American that speaks English.
All those countries have their Lingua francas. I am not saying anybody should be more English than an Englishman I am saying that you must speak English fluently to qualify as a literate because it is your main language. It was chosen because we have no main language unless if you would suggest we put Ki-Swahili as our main language (Lingua Francs). If a foreigner must communicate with you and that foreigner knows how to speak English and is aware that you are from Nigeria he will speak English. Failure to understand will leave you with the illiterate label.

My point is, the foreigner speaking with you is not bound by any law if he doesn't speak it like the traditional English person if he is not from England so also you that he is speaking with. Don't forget that even English itself is a combination of other languages. About 350 different languages form English. Research and see.

Off course he isn't because it is not his lingua franca(main language). Off course English is derived from Latin, and some languages spoken by the Anglo-Saxons and English also derives words from hundreds of languages but this is not even the case now. English is our lingua franca and therefore you must know it whether you like it or not.

Knowing it is not the problem here but being efficient in it is the issue. In any case, there is nothing like being efficient in English, bc even the English themselves not all of them speak it with efficiency because it is a collection of different languages as you have rightly corroborated. So you may not need to kill yourself trying to be efficient in English.

As for me, gari is cassava flakes in Africa. And I love it, especially when garnished with Fried fish �.
