Garri is one of the most popular food in Nigeria, I'll place it beside rice as the most common food among every tribe in Nigeria, and it's even more popular among the students, tills the point where they tag it as a life saver, that as been the business of saving life since 1960(just a joke among Nigerian boarding school students and university undergraduate stating that Garri as been saving lifes since the day Nigeria was instituted).

It's one of the most affordable and cheap food that almost everyone can purchase, Though the inflation as hike it price as well, but it's still cheap compare to others, and it as the ability to fill ones stomach even if you take a small quantity of it.
