The multiple deaths associated with the
various outbreaks of the Lassa fever virus across the country have aggravated
hunger in the country. With the high negative effects of the Lassa fever virus
resulting into multiple deaths, many Nigerians are now afraid of drinking
garri! Before the outbreak of the Lassa
fever virus, drinking of garri was perceived as a stopgap as it was used to
conquer hunger. But since the latest outbreaks of the virus across the country
and the fear of contracting deadly has compelled many Nigerians to avoid
drinking garri like a plague! Drinking garri was part and parcel of the food
component of Nigerians nay many Africans in the West African sub-region.
Drinking garri was like eating other stable foods like rice, yam, beans and
eba. Drinking garri was more common and rampant during the dry season as many
Nigerians liked to take this food during this period of the year as a result of
the terrible heat that is experienced at this time of the year.
