In a Facebook post, Jerry showed his students engrossed in their garri drawing task and what some of them painted.
He compared the task to how foreigners colonised his ancestors and funnily remarked that it was pay back time. He wrote:
“Last week I gave my students Beans to draw. I said I will give them Garri next, una think say na play. Oya see am now, I don Hustle Garri from my ancestors give them. (For the Culture).
“No be every time them go Dey colonize us, Make we self Colonize them small… DAN UBANSU!!! ❤️.
“Next one I’ll Hustle Groundnut and give them.”
He added that he did it for the culture.
“Them go see shegeh for my hand..
“For the culture. “
In a related development, a white lady who consumed garri on a daily basis had gone viral.

Student returns to school with big garri
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported a video of a student who returned to school with a bag of garri.
@matilda_life1 shared the clip on TikTok as she laughed at her colleague as he entered the hostel.
The clip, which was made from the hostel, showed a young man walking into the building premises with a bag of garri on his head. It is not clear if the garri belonged to the man who carried it in as another fellow trailed behind him with a school bag and two nylons in both hands.
