"If you say you be colonial man,
You don be slave man before
Them don release you now
But you never release yourself."

Op, be mindful

E go be

All these your names nah sakamaje

No go tell iya fatimo to sell you granulated cassava

E go be for you op

We call garri 'Usong'

Sometimes we end up sounding stupid while trying to feel enlightened.. Pizza is an Italian name, spaghetti is an Italian name, basically every international delicacy U know is named in the native name of the countries dey are from but a Nigerian who is still struggling for relevance is trying to tell us garri is supposed to have an English name

clockwisereport:
Madam, I want to buy Hibiscus tea
@op, how the thing do you for mouth as you want talk am?

calling it zobo will save time and energy. And will also reduce chances of biting your tongue

Rubbish. I mean was it not someone that named the various food you’re trying to imply. Just because the word Garri is not in a dictionary doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

E be like say this op get fever

go to market and say you want to buy cassava granules, I trust those Yoruba market women, they will insult heaven and Earth from your body. they will be like "weyrey, o gboyinbo lo wan ra garri Loja"

Give us English names for eba, amala, fufu.. yeye Dey smell

Oh puuuuuleeeez! No language is superior. If we originated the food and named it, then the western world should adopt our names for our own indigenous foods. We haven't tried to rename cheeseburgers and mashed potatoes so garri remains garri. Na we get am, so na we get exclusive naming rights.

If Pizza, a non English food can retain it’s local name, why should Akara change to bean buns?

My brother you literally spoke my mind.... Even "sharwarma" is an Arabic word because the food is of Arabic origin.

I don't know who did this to us Africans that we must see everything that the Europeans did as correct while ours is wrong.

I thought garri is cassava flakes
