The level of your illiteracy is that you would have enquired how much a gallon of good palm wine from Enugu ezzike is sold, a gallon(4litres) on a normal market day is sold 8k and in festive period sold from 20k-30k due to demand and the smallest wine seller comes to market with not less than 3 gallons in a day. so a normal wine tapper in Igbo land that has enough palm trees that are his own is not ya mate on a normal day , he might be selling more than 50gallons a day with his contact

This is a lie. Any mathematically sound person can easily run the numbers.

It's a lie. He should tell you people where he got 25 million to raise that duplex to that level and 15 million to buy that Benz there.

40 million my ass. Only in Nigeria

If he taps 57 palm trees 3 times a day, the numbers add up.

ahiboilandgas:
.he is giving break down. 7000 x 26 gallon daily x25.he gross around 4.5m per month x 7 months =over 30m yearly .

Curiouscity:


The man mentioned the minimum and maximum number of gallons he produce a day.
Let's go with the minimum = 10 gallons during dry season. (20 - 25 during rainy season)
Each gallon sells at 7K.

A day during dry season = 70k.
A week during dry season = 490K.

Even if someone can earn 50K per day consistently for 5 years, what is 25m?

That is the mathematics you wanted to see.

I am not from South East, but South South. I grew up in a typical village where we had many palm wine tappers. In my community/state, palm wine is not as expensive as in Igboland, because we tap raffia palm tree not palm oil tree. Yet more than 60% of the palm wine tappers in my community built nice/big block houses, sent their kids to good secondary schools in the 80s/90s. 2 of them, their kids were among the 1st set of university graduates from my own village.

In Nigeria today, it is possible to hide under any trade to commit crime, that is why we see red flags everywhere whenever someone who is in a "lowly" trade is seen with things we think are the exclusive rights of the high and mighty.

Hardwork and consistency still pays!

I buy 25litres of palm wine in Lagos for N10k, outside Lagos shouldn't be more than N6k to 7k. How many he sells daily? And gor how many years did he saves for the project. He should give us the figures not cock bull stories. Ibo man!

Unfortunately you buy completely diluted palmwine in Lagos at very cheap prices. Between the Niger bridge and Enugu, are found some of the best palmwine in the whole world. Palmwine is very expensive and you get palmwine undiluted. If you purchase undiluted palmwine in the SE, it is not at the same level with the ones you find in Lagos, with due respect.

We're both educated people. Something inside you should be telling you that you can't even consistently get a total of 10 gallons of palm tree sap from 56 palm tree every day.

Palm trees are not rivers. Each of those gallons look like 5 litres to me. 50 liters everyday day from 57 trees is a lie. Talk more of 130 liters everyday.

Each tree usually produce less than 20 litres a month.
