Belief is outdated.

If you drink Garri with quality insects like cockroach, grasshopper and millipede, your life would never remain the same

Your grammar worry sha shocked
MRcocaFanta:
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"

Actually this is a life saver when all hope is lost. But also pleasure when you feel like topping the belly tank.

Lol, garri to the rescue, Ijebu, federal and Cotonou garri especially.

Taking garri doesn't equate to poverty though, most wealthy people probably avoid it for health reasons.

The mentality that only the poor and wretched drink gari is no more the case.
