๐ THE DAY I DEFENDED GARRI IN SCHOOL DEBATE ๐
Back in secondary school, our English teacher made the mistake of choosing me, femi, to represent my house in an inter-school debate ๐ค๐
The topic was:
โWhich Is Better: Garri or Rice?โ
Immediately I heard it, I stood up and shouted:
โMadam, my mama dey sell garri I'm gonna win this debate....๐
The whole class burst into laughter.
My opponent was one fine girl from another school, Amara, representing Rice ๐โจ
She adjusted her tie like she was defending PhD thesis and said:
โRice is food of celebration ๐
No wedding is complete without rice.
No birthday is successful without rice.
No Christmas is valid without rice.
Nobody says:
โCome celebrate with us, we are serving soaked garri and groundnut.โโ
Crowd laughed ๐๐
She continued:
โRice has class ๐
Rice has packaging ๐
Rice has varieties:
Jollof, Fried, Coconut, Ofada, White Rice & Stew ๐
Rice enters party with confidence.
Rice wears suit and tie ๐
Garri enters in rubber bowl.โ
Audience screamed ๐ญ๐คฃ
Then she dropped final bomb ๐ฃ:
โRice is for champions ๐
Athletes eat rice.
Presidents eat rice.
Garri is what people eat when things are not moving well.โ
Thunderous applause ๐๐ฅ
Even my own classmates were clapping.
Traitors. ๐๐
**************
Then it was my turn ๐
I adjusted my oversized school trousers and stepped forward like a warrior ๐บ
โGood day honorable judges, respected audience, and my opponent speaking under the influence of jollof propagandaโฆโ ๐คฃ
โToday I stand to defend not just a foodโฆ
I stand to defend a LEGEND ๐ชA SURVIVOR ๐ซก
A SAVIOR OF HUMANITY ๐I stand to defendโฆ
GARRI!!!โ......
Half the students shouted:
โYEEEEEE!!!โ ๐๐ฅ
I asked the judges:
โDo you have garri in your house?โ ๐
They laughed........
One judge nodded ๐.....
I shouted: โExactly! Because Garri is the LAST HOPE OF MANKIND!โ
When rice finishes โ Garri is there ๐ซก
When salary never enter โ Garri is there ๐ธ
When mummy says โmanage till month endโ โ Garri appears like super
