The name “ZOBO” needs no introduction as it is a family name to both the rich and poor. To some it is just Zobo juice but to some it is more than just a drink. Israel a friend of mine calls it the Nigerian Coca Cola, Lawrence called it a life saver, only few can relate to that name “Life saver” Zobo is always there when ever your pocket is dry and that 9ja sun is beating you with no common sense, with just 50 Naira the live saver comes to your rescue just as the Rochas Okorocha’s rescue mission government. I call it the Nigerian Coca Cola I don’t know for you, because virtually every Nigerian have had a taste of this drink directly or indirectly, if you have not then you have Mama Nkechi to blame.
One remarkable thing about this drink is that even without packaging just like other drinks such as bobo, viju milk, coca cola, without any publicity stunt or advert or even a company name this drink sells like Fufu. The taste stands out, so natural and ever refreshing after long hours of work I have no other option than to reach for a bottle of the life saver to calm my nerves. I am just like every other Nigerian who takes this drink for its taste and how affordable it is nothing more. I know that behind every successful man there is a woman so there is much more than just the taste of this drink which is that special property natures gives.
