Drinking Of Garri And The Poverty Stigma by Nobody: 1:45pm On Feb 02, 2020
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.

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

We have been drinking Garri even before Ojukwu thought of fighting a civil war.

We have been drinking Garri even before Israelites think of migrating to Egypt

We have been drinking Gari even before Rice was discovered...

Gari has been saving Nigerians life more than Buhari will ever do in the next 4yrs...

If you want drink your Gari drink am with swagg

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