A young lady has caused serious talk on social media after she said garri is overrated and only food for poor people. The lady made the comment during a street interview that is now going viral.
In the short video shared by popular blogs like Instablog9ja and YabaLeftOnline on Thursday, July 16, 2026, the lady spoke clearly: “Garri is overrated. It’s a poor man’s food and I don’t enjoy it.” She said she does not like the taste or how it feels in her mouth.ѕєє тнє ν!∂єσ нєяє
The interview seems to have happened in one of the big cities in Nigeria, most likely Lagos or Abuja, but the exact place and time were not shown in the video. The clip started spreading widely from the afternoon of Thursday, July 16, 2026.
Garri, made from cassava, is a very common food in Nigeria. Many people soak it with cold water, sugar, groundnut or milk, or turn it into eba with soup. It has long been called a food that fills the stomach when money is not much. But the lady’s comment has touched many people the wrong way.
