a woman who is thinking
I was thinking about little age and wrote this article to disprove the rumour that says any person that eat mangoes after drinking garri will die.
why you wont die if you eat mangoes with coke or garri.
I remember the olden days when we were still illiterate little kids. Grown-ups for reasons best known to themselves loved to play mind games and joke with our small brains. We were told all types of cock and bull stories that scared the hell out of us.Major of these stories turned out to be untrue as we grew up in thinking. One of the conspiracy theories was that immediate death awaits any human being that was stupid enough to take a mango and garri or coke together. Ofcourse i like mangoes, !fanta And i knew that most people include garri into their meals everyday especially in Nigeria. It was a very difficult to understand for me how two edible food substances would combine together react magically transforming into a high definition poisonous substance that was capable of sending to the grave people instantly. When the puzzle refused to fall into place ,i concluded to taste the two combination to see if i instant dead will come (well that was when I was little) but i’m still on the earth today.
I wan to know how surprise you are when you hear this kind of rumour especially when you receive massages or calls from friends and relatives on whatsap, facebook e.t.c. Mango is a fruit that little children use to leave school before the closing our for. I could remember during my own time in secondry , my friends and I can move as far three to four kilometre because of mango. To my own knowledge, our fore father just use that to scare us away from their farm land because farm then is the source of their wealth, since they know that 75% of the student then will take garri when they get home unlike this where children will be looking for indomin Fuji milk e.t.c. Mango as a fruit contain some nutrients that can even protect us from diseases such as skin cleaner, weight loss, eye care, helps indigestion regulates diabetes while the garri can be converted to starch which can eventually serves as energy source.
