Guests served chilled garri and seafood at event

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that guests were served seafood and chilled garri at a function.

Social media influencer Tunde Ednut shared a video on Instagram from a garri-themed event as he marvelled at how fast things change in the country.

In the clip, the well-dressed guests each had a wooden tray of garri, seafood, ice cream and bottled water.

A closer look at the garri of one of the female guests, who seemed lost in the sumptuous meal, showed it had ice blocks in it. t was also observed that the guests ate it with no fuss, as if they knew beforehand that garri would be served as a refreshment or probably just loved it.
