A Nigerian lady has sparked reactions online after revealing that she fell ill the first time she drank garri, a staple food commonly enjoyed across the country.

The story was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @nayybby_, who explained that her father never introduced her to garri while growing up, which left her unfamiliar with it.

She wrote: “Because of my dad, I don’t know how to drink garri. First time I tasted garri at age 17, I fell sick.”

She added that after falling ill, she called her dad to inform him, and in response, he doubled her monthly allowance.

“The smell gives me catarrh sef 😂😂😂,” she added humorously.

The post quickly went viral, drawing attention from social media users who filled the comment section with jokes, debates, and shared experiences.
