I have seen this gory view before, but I was just about 10yrs old in Kwara then
I was amazed and irritated as to how palm oil which I ate in almost every food was prepared.
I can remember that during my remaining stay there I was terribly disgusted and disliked eating. I went to the city and after a while the memory erased most likely after eating much afang and edikikong.
I saw this pics again and the memories came back. is this the only way palm oil can be processed? must those with dirty boxers, sweaty bodies, skin ratches, smelling wrappers be swimming inside a well all in the name of processing palm oil?

Very irritating sight.

That was during the days of our fore fathers,now there are machineries for oil milling and they're fabricated locally.

this is Yoruba method of milling palm oil that is why their oil don't look attractive to eye except they put coloring and the oil ways test bad in food
