If you dey put sugar for your garri, we no fit be friends

My hostel roommate just carried the garri bowl, poured water, and then reached for the sugar tin. In my presence. In this 2026 economy. I had to sit down small.

Look, garri is either you drink am plain with groundnut, or you soak am with cold water and small salt if you are feeling rich. Sugar inside garri na crime against our ancestors. The only people allowed to do that are people who grew up drinking Milo straight from the tin with a spoon. And even dem, we still dey watch una.

He said and what? That his own mother used to give him garri with sugar and milk when he was small. So because of childhood memory, we should now finish one whole tin of sugar wey cost pass ₦2,000 for one bowl of cassava? My guy, that is not enjoyment, that is financial sabotage.

So I need to know. Be honest, who else dey put sugar for garri? Because if una plenty, I go keep quiet and mind my business.
