There is, and it's even more nutritious, satisfies more and sustains more.

But I won't say it here, if I do, Nigerian traders a "Shylock" in nature.

They will inflate the price tomorrow morning outrageously.

UK protest all the time too. Most western countries protest frequently!
tctrills:
No, you shouldn't compare them to African countries compare them to their fellow European countries. France revolted against their monarchy the English did not is France greater than the UK?
The UK went ahead to become the greatest empire ever.
The Russians revolted yet their GDP is about the same as Italy despite having about the greatest mineral resources on earth and the most fertile soils.
Syria is yet to recover from their revolution same with Yemen.
Iran was never the same after it's revolution.

Yes but have their protests made them any better. Point out one protest in the UK that has improved anything.
The truckers protest in Canada, what came of it?
The BLM protest in the US only increased the crime rate.
Point out the protest that has made life better for the people.

Protest has made their society better and thats why countries with repressive regimes like Iran, Afghanistan prevents protest at all cost.

Stop justifying docility

What is the meaning of this stuuuupid question? Cowards like you breaks the wall to keep running after been pushed to the wall. They is no alternative to garri, garri was the last resort, if garri is out of your reach, then it's time to start fighting your oppressors.

Good you mentioned Iran. Let's take a look at that country.
You must know about the 1979 Iranian revolution. That overthrew of the Pahlavi dynasty.
Has Iran improved since then?
The protest in Libya that got Gaddafi removed, has it improved Libya.
Please tell me why you expect a different result in Nigeria?

Elubo. Elubo is around 1800 per paint whoesale price at my base



If not that Nigerians are not research minded, 200,000 Naira invested into cassava farming can provide a family of 5-8 with Garri, fufu and the likes for at least 4-7 months of daily consumption

It is well.
The way prices of foodstuffs are soaring is alarming.
On the average, N10,000 is not sufficient to feed a family of 5 three times daily anymore.
A modu of beans is now N2,500.
Price of a modu of rice is not jumping up and down.
Yam is now N3,000 per tuber.
Common pepper is being counted and sold 4 for N200.
A bunch of plantain is no go area.
Not foodstuff is cheap anymore.
I pity family that have up to 6 children.
This is not time for couples to have more than 3 children o.

Tinubu should open borders and flood the market with foodstuff from neighbouring countries.
Make Nigerians no come die of hunger.

Have you tried sawdust? It's free from the sawmill or 50 Naira per garawa depending on the wood quality.

Alternatively, grow your own cassava and make your own gari.

Then not everyone will die
Everyone has land in the village
Everyone can do subsistence agric via cooperative or partnership or telephone farming

who cares what he will say
Will it change anything
We've chosen to make excuses for our indolence
Our own indolence, when tribalism was eating you all deep, you didn't know you shouldn't have brought it up to the national level, now na everyone dey cry, hunger dey strike everybody. The next election they will still go and elect nonsense.
It won't change anything if his still alive because most people from the north and the other sides don't want to know the truth, they only care about our man dey power, Oya make Dem go chop power, the price of petrol and cooking gas are increasing, the price of firewood is also increasing na like this we go stop climate change.

And they will spend all the money on other highly inflated food stuffs..

Which one is better? They have the money to spend or they don't have the money to spend. The persons fighting for minimum wage increments don't have the money to spend in the first place.

The farmers are ok. If others increase price, farmers increase prices too. Na people on fixed salaries dey fill the pinch most.

Garri has substitute. Its just that some of us are obsessed with cassava derivatives.

All wheat derivatives used as swallow, plantain flour, yam flour, rice flour, maize flour......
None of these can be substituted because they can't be soaked for consumption like garri. The taste, appearance and uses are not the same.


Substitute goods example: Bournvita and Milo, matches and lighter e.tc

When you get creative you'll know they can serve the same purpose and even better.
Hope you know garri is grainy and not completely fine flour powder.

People should be eating minimal food. Gone are those days when you filled your dish with hefty mound of swallow.

You must havevMeasurements cups.

1/3 cup for lunch. Not 1 cup!

I guess we will have to brace up.
Some of us will have to make farming a hobby to meet certain needs. Some of us will require bulk capital to go into large scale farming.
I agree with you totally.
Just few days ago, I considered vegetable farming on the space I have where I live after I spent 4k buying Ugu and water leaf to cook for a family of 5.
This was totally unheard of.

No I disagree.

I'd rather double my hustle to make more money.

Cutting down on what I eat means dieing slowly. It's traumatic.

I can cut down on frivolities but not the food.

It is good to have this veggies planted on any small space we have around us for they can be of help.
Some moths ago I had little or no money on me and wanted to cook a little soup for it's being over a month I ate soup. I got a call from a family friend and when I wanted to return back I saw some this veggies called "hospital too far" growing at the corner of the building and I asked if I could take some and yes, I was given some and some green leaves(spinach) so while returning I stopped at the market and bought fish and prepared the little I had.
I poured the seeds of the green leaves on the soil around my side of the building and I now have that as a veggie added to my very little garden.

It costs around 250,000 - 340,000 Naira to produce 20 50kg bags of Garri. We asked Nigerians to finance our ideas to enter the forest, face threat of deaths, face threat of bandits, sleep in the forest, we would do the work, you guys refused. The country is suffering from what we can completely manage. Sheybi the youths do not like to collaborate. Let the nation suffer the lack.

Team 1 - One hand on the right = 1/3 cup of hot garrium

Team 2 - One hand on the left = 3 cups of hefty mound of hot garrium

Which team is yours ? grin

On the long run, large amount of food is not good for humans general/overall well-being.
