Greetings to you all my hivers,it another wonderful day in my life, knowing every day problem is a gift but giving solution is the vision.
My neighborhood have been suffering from food Insufficiency for some years now due to lack of adequate supply of food produces like Garri which is their common intake in the place .
Let me give brief view about Food Insufficiency or food insecurity, to my own understanding,it refers to **as that situation whereby individuals lack regular or complete access to enough safe and nutritious food for aa healthy and active life , which also assured malnutrition at every given time.
In my neighborhood Garri has been so costly in the market even when individuals are farming and doing production from their farms for final consumption,the scarcity is what the people doesn't understand, they are buying in a costly price. I was a victim when I visited my Aunty in the village this week, after cooking a very delicious soup Afang soup,they give my nephew money to go and buy it for us to eat,i was so disappointed as he brings 6 cups of garri in #1000 naria,a local currency, which is the highest denomination of currency in the country Nigeria, but the 6 cups haven't been okay with us,so my question was,so you people can spend #10,000 naria to buy Garri in 3 days base on the number of people that consumed it.
After eating the garri, within me,I was thinking of how to give solution to my Aunty at least one month to assist her have enough garri,so the following day,I asked about where to buy raw cassava, they told me where I can see it and buy,I take my money and went there in the morning, behold there was plenty of it,so I buy it 2 bags of 50kg at #7,000 naria and take it home, processed it by taking it to cassava processing mill,the following day i went back and picked up the dry cassava to the house.
It was a moment that I tried to recall my childhood practice that I was taught by my late mother, how to fried garri. I set the separate the main Garri and set up the fire,put the big pot, Cary red oil and started doing it,it was a tasks that took me 3 hours,I was done with a big basin of garri which the total cost of expenses was not up to #10,000 Naria,so my Aunty was so happy and a cup was used to measure the Garri, and surprisingly, the total of that basin was 170 cups,so my aunty was so happy and she thank me for giving solution to her family problem.
So I come to understand that people don't quickly find solutions to problems, rather swimming in side the problem, just like that experience I had in my aunt's house.
