A self-proclaimed spiritual expert, Ivan Eagle, has claimed that garri is a source of spiritual limitation and affliction.
Ivan Eagle, speaking via his Facebook handle, said that he had not eaten garri for almost 16 years and that his spiritual life and perceptive abilities had attained unimaginable heights.
He explained that garri not only taints the soul with the smell of surreptitious death, but it is also the vehicle of witchcraft and dead spirits.
He wrote, “If you want to break spiritual limitation and affliction, avoid garri. Especially large quantities of it.
“Garri not only taints the soul with the smell of surreptitious death, it is also the vehicle of witchcraft and dead spirits.
“I was on a podcast today where I shared that I hadn’t touched garri in almost 16 years and my spiritual life and perceptive abilities had attained unimaginable heights.
“The podcast anchors were shocked. But what could I do? The truth had to be told. But don’t panic. Take a deep breath and keep reading as I explain.
“There are many food substances and basic consumables we expose ourselves to daily that weaken the integrity of our spirits and make us porous to foul spirits that stifle progress in our lives.
“Garri is one of such food substances. Especially yellow garri. 99% of the garri Nigerians consume are stored in market stalls overnight.
“This is where the spiritual contamination begins as the dead spirits that rule the market after midnight hours bathe with the garri stored in the bags, and by virtue of the colour yellow symbolizing occultic vibrance, these entities prefer to bathe in yellow garri over white garri.
“If you scrutinize the yellow garri you buy from the market closely, you will notice a few prominent clumps of garri which you assume are from the frying. Not in all cases.
“Those prominent clots you see are the bits of the garri that were chewed up by dead spirits, caked in their saliva and spat back into the heap.
“In most cases, the yellow fecal matter of these diabolical nocturnal entities are re-deposited back into the garri giving it a chalky smell.
“This is why all the yellow garri bought from the market generally have a sickening smell that makes you feel snail slime on your throat for days after consumption.
“The cyanide we soak and wash off in the grated cassava fried into garri actually is the occultic identity of a gruesome West African deity called Orará.
“What we fail to understand is that this occultic identity Orará leaves off in the cassava lingers on the cassava even till the point it becomes garri.
“This is the occultic identity that the dead spirits activate in the garri that is left overnight in the market stalls!
“Adding bay leaf and heat to your garri temporarily may weaken the demonic chemical compounds of the garri, but consistently consuming it overtime as a staple food incurs same spiritual and bodily damage.
“People who habitually sip garri with water are at risk of losing 50% of their taste bud function and 35% of their eye sight.
“They are also the most susceptible to witchcraft attack and low blood count. African Witchcraft relies 95% on garri to facilitate their activities.
“Just like the marine kingdom relies on water as a medium of communication, transport and covenant exchange, witchcraft has garri as her medium.
“This is why witches struggle to afflict potential victims when they don’t taste garri in your soul.
“If you are reading this post and have been consuming garri on a steady, chances are that you may have already been spiritually crippled and soul poisoned.
“Even storing yellow garri in your kitchen without fortifying the bag containing the garri with bay leaves is enough to drain the essence of your soul and leave you spiritually vulnerable and laid back in life.
He also challenged people to take a bowl of yellow garri out by past 12 midnight, lie on their back, place the garri bowl in the middle of their both eyes and whisper ‘balambalamba’ repeatedly. He said that they will feel their soul leave their body and a strange shadow of a woman will appear next to them and kick the bowl of garri from their face.
“If you doubt me, take a bowl of yellow garri out by past 12 midnight, lie on your back, place the garri bowl in the middle of your both eyes and whisper ‘balambalamba’ repeatedly.
“You will feel your soul leave your body and a strange shadow of a woman will appear next to you and kick the bowl of garri from your face.
“I can’t explain the existential symbolism of all this for now, but will do so soon. For now, avoid consuming garri. Especially yellow garri.”
