Indian Garri Being Sold In Nigerian Supermarkets (Photos)

Lol...Here what a Nairaland user said about this below: 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
