Offpoint: Dear Sèun and mod, I'm currently writing this with hunger in my stomach and pain in my heart. I want to draw your attention to this post and the time it makes Front-page. let me bring it to your knowledge that not everyone that woke up in the morning has the "luxury" of food this tempting to eat. Some of us might want to settle for the ones available to us, which is the Nigeria indigenous and popular cassava flake locally and internationally known as *Gari, aka *G4, aka *Gayrion, aka *Lifesaver, aka *CampusLife... But, each time we loggin into this forum and see something of this nature, it feels like tortures to us, and the pain of staring and not being able to eat is equivalent to that of a sting from a bullet ant, or to that of a pregnant woman in a labour room. Please Sèun, kindly caution your moderators to censor sure pictures for my sake and that of humanity.
