I will have loved to change the price of garri in Nigeria if I had the power, 89% of people in Nigeria consume garri and seeing the pump in price of this commodity for the last few months has just makes things so harder, I think so much about, how would the common man make ends meet.
Someone like me, I like garri a lot, I always felt like I am on top of the world when I ate garri and if I should stay for long without swallowing it, I will just begin to feel as if I have not been eating anything at all. Honestly, I might not be the only one who felt this way, many Nigerians would boldly concur to this that they felt the same, I guess that's what garri is good of, it is the sure plug that's capable of making people who love it to want it more.
I go to the market myself when I want to buy food stuffs, at this level of mine, I do not needs someone to help me and do that, and besides, I am still a young man, I believe it's okay for me to go to the market, buy things I want and go back home.
That was by the way, everyday I approached the market, what I keep hearing are different price of garri, but why?.
Or has Nigerians started imported garri and I do not know?
Things are really going sideways, and I just wished it could stop and we could see the old rates of goods in the market, especially, the rate of garri, that's a common man food.
In a home, no matter the situation, once garri is available, it is a guaranteed that, there is food in the house and people are going to eat something, either by making of garri into eba and eat it with soup or sipping it which is the quickest in restoring strength.
The way the rate of garri are pumping, I believed that, it would got to a point, where people step out on all streets and start to cry of hunger, yes!, I believe it might come to that, because the pump in price is far beyond a laughing matter and a lot of people are really enduring so much, the worst of it is that, we might still hear another pump regarding it in months to come, what surprised me is, "why don't we ever hear that the rate of garri has declined, why is it always going up and not coming down", honestly, I do not really know where we are heading to anymore.
Or does it mean, I am the only person that experience the pump in the rate of garri? lols....
A thousand naira can't buy many cups of garri anymore, the other day I was in the market and it was four cups of garri per a thousand naira and going to the market just a day ago, it was two cups and, who knows in another few days, it might be a cup per a thousand naira, lol.....
If it gets to a cup per a thousand naira, this is the point, we will see people crying of hunger and stepping out of the streets, just as I said earlier, believe me joor, this matter reach for person to cry, haba.....
