India garri being sold in Nigeria supermarket.

This is sincerely an absurdity of monumental proportion and a shame. Our government and regulatory agencies (if they still exist ) should cover their faces in shame. I would like to ask : how much were you paid in bribe ? Is this how far we are mentally bankrup ? we are indeed in a big mess in this nation. Can you imagine imported garri from India now selling in shops in Nigeria and NAFDAC approve this ?
Habaaaaaa Gari again ? So we finally have consigned our dear country to a dumping ground for all forms of Asian mindless madness . Nigeria is the worlds largest producer of cassava for crying out loud but here we are shamelessly displaying Indian made garri not corn flakes on our shelves. Do we still have the Customs service , do we still have NAFDAC and other such regulatory agencies. This is indeed a shame, that must be condemned by all well meaning , patriotic and passionate Nigerians . We do hope that if need be these government agencies who look the other way when this poorly produced products are hauled into our nation should get set to meet Nigerians on the street in hot protest . We think that it should now be enough of this broad day light rape of our economy and our collective wealth as a nation.
In the same token , we call out on Nigerian to not just condemned this shameful act but to match such condemnation with a clear statement in action refusing to purchase such foreign made goods that Nigeria has better potential to produce. This call has become important because a great deal of Nigerians have a funny penchant for goods produced outside the shores of Nigeria even if these goods are substandard , and pose obvious threats to our health and well being . It is instructive to note that today the WHO ranks Nigeria so low on some key health indices , that our dear Nation lags behind almost all much smaller African nations .

Dear country men and women , here is a frantic and heartfelt call to redeem what is left of our national pride . Please may we all rise to condemn the importation of garri of all thing . Please let’ s rebroadcast this on all meddium of mass reach – ELECTRONIC and PRINT, until it arrives the corridors of decision making in this country.

This year's celebration of President Robert Mugabe's 93rd birthday takes place in Matobos southwest of Harare on Saturday. Some Zimbabweans are calling Mugabe to use the money to address the myriad of problems besetting the country while others are planning to celebrate their leader's birthday. "We regard President Mugabe's birth so highly that we take him as second only to Jesus Christ. So his birthday is something we cannot miss as Zimbabweans. We are advocating for that day to be a national holiday," said one supporter in Harare. Mugabe has been ruling Zimbabwe since 1980 when the country got its independence from Great Britain.
