Garri you’ve always been for the masses for centuries even as the rich and elite class despised you, preferring Semovita to you.
We remember those sweet days how you used to come handy, responding to the compelling desire for food and with a blend of roasted fish/meat, or groundnuts or coconut or kernel or even raw native pepper from the garden, you give maximum satisfaction.
Garri in this 21st century you took an astronomical leap from your usual N30 per cup to N100. As the masses were expecting you come down you then took another leap and landed at N200.
Garri, you’ve tasted the sweetness in high cost and you never want to come to the masses again but rather prefer to stay with the elite class that have so despised you in the past.
But Garri why…..why….why!!! Why do you want to forsake the masses your own at this trying times? Just to soak you successfully today, it will cost almost N500. Garri why na! What has the masses done to deserve this hash treatment?
Garri please have compassion on the masses who have taken solace in your ability to provide a first aid to hunger. The masses who see you as a problem solver and a soul lifter, please come down to them.
Garri we the masses love you so much.????????????
