Garri is not a complete meal and I'm tired of pretending it is

I said what I said. Before una come for my neck, hear me out. I grew up in Awka and I know the struggle. When money is tight, garri saves life. I get that. But this idea wey some people get say garri plus groundnut is a balanced diet? No be so.

I dey my hostel last week, my roommate dey eat garri with ogbono soup and he dey tell me say e don eat. I ask am, "Bro, where protein dey?" He just laugh. The next day e dey complain say e dey weak for lecture. I swear, our bodies dey beg us but we no dey listen.

Na why I dey talk this one. We need to stop pretending say garri is enough. E fit keep you alive but e no go make you thrive. Add egg, add fish, add anything. Your body go thank you later. Who be the real MVP for your feeding budget right now?
