NigerIan culture:fumilayo bidemi who invented the drinking of garri didn't die of kwashiokor

  
On the 26th  of december 1982,funny but true a young student of the university of ibadan invented the well known Nigerian desert "ijebu-garri"  as result of the high rate of hunger and starvation he experienced then.
Despite the awkward nature of the meal his fellow students found it not only affordable but interesting.However the vice chancellor of the university didn't approve of the idea but due to rate at which the idea went viral he had to join the moving train by endorsing the awkward initiative.

  The garri + sugar +water formula became an issue for serious concern when a group of medical practitioners  after a painstaking lab research found out that the local desert has high carbohydrates and a frequent intake of it could cause kwashiokor (it occurs as result of high carbohydrate intake into the human body).

Our area of concern is the inventor of this local desert that is common amongst most nigerian students didn't die of kwashiokor or any carbohydrates related disease.So many medical historians have conducted researches on the reason why he didn't die of kwashiokor and come up with reason for such a wierd case.


Fumilayo bidemi was only an inventor of the local desert but didn't take it for one because he was a medical student and had conducted a research on the formula and found out it health consequences.
