Forget what you buy from Lagos
A real palm wine drinker won't touch those enhanced drinks in lagos.
You need to travel to this community for a taste.
A glass is sold for 900 - 1200, a fad cry from your 25litres.
Open your mindset and read

As a rule,I don't drink palmwine except I'm in the village.
Any thing wey U de drink for all these big cities na "to whom it may concern"

This is the exact number that doesn't add up. Palm trees do not produce sap everyday, all year round. They usually run dry after being tapped for few days.

Palm trees produce sap all year round. The number of months where the quantity produced by the palm trees drop to a few cups per day is about 3 to 4 months around Ogbadibo in Benue and Udenu in Enugu states respectively. However, the spike in price of palm wine around these months would compensate for the reduced production quantity.

Make una give igbo guy opportunity make hm run this quantry as our local business una no gree na people wey no fit remember the no of their cows n now baba blue to loot. Okay oo

This story nor clear

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!

My cousins who grew up in the village but live in Abuja now,once they come home, they do not touch beer again or spirits again.
They'll tell U those things are chemicals.
In a day,2 of them and their friends could drink up to 5 gallons of palm wine,each was sold b/w 6k to 8k this Christmas.
A typical Igbo man values palm wine more than any drink and our soil type gives the best palm wines.

Ritualist

After sometime now we will hear:
"Millionaire palm wine rapper arrested for involvement in kidnapping and armed robber!".
Until then, he's making other honest and hardworking palm wine tappers look stupid!

Srredkita:
Which kind lie be this..

Over possible my guy.

Wetin dey kill so many youths this days is that, they lack spirit of saving.

There are people that earns 30k per month, yet they are building a house.

An okada can save N5m in a year if he has strong spirit of saving.

The youth of this days are waiting until they hit it big at once before they will know they have made it.

Lionmachala:
. Unbelievable

Na wetin igbos take pass other tribes when it comes to business.

U dey here dey shout na lie, when he has told you he sell 8k for a gallon by 50, that is 400k in a day.

flejnr2:

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

while I had to stop and go back to my calculator. You try well well. He must have a palm plantation that never dries.

Nemesis0147:
yes
We are saying the same thing oh…they make a lot of money from this palm wine business….a cup of palm wine was sold for 700 during the festive period.

A cup was sold N1,000 in Nsukka in last Christmas season.

Madridstar:
Dey play

Ogwu Ego main hustle

Palm winning taping ...side hustle

Whoever believes that story that tapping palm wine, built him that house and bought him GLE is slow.

If this is your mindset, am sorry to tell you that you can't make it in business.

Even an okada man that has strong culture of savings and dedicated to it can save N5m-N10m a year.

The problem of the current youths is that, they are lazy, lack the spirit of savings and want quick money.

A gallon is 8k by 50 is 400k my guy, so why can't he buy the car and build the house in a business he has been doing for over 15yrs, haba.

Very true
Just like desiring oha soup prepared by a northern lady or a Spanish chef

It's highly possible

No. As you tap a particular tree, the sap drops. There is a limited quantity of sap that any tree can produce in a month. Anyone who knows trees will tell you.

So you have to rotate from tree to tree. Just like shifting cultivation. 56 trees are not enough to pull those numbers he is insinuating

Does he climb all the trees by himself alone? Or does he buy from other palmwine tappers and sell for profit? In the years past my village is known for palm wine tapping, but I have never seen any with suitable money. There must be a method of aggregating the work done for it to become a profitable business.

SILVERLINES:


On a very serious note I knew a palm wine tapper who did bought lands everywhere in our community, build better houses and trained his seven children through the university. Sometimes it's not about what we do, it's the blessings we carry

My this has nothing to do with blessings, truth is that the current generation lacks the spirit of savings, we spend it all as the money comes.

Before you know it, they will say the business is useless and not profitable or one uncle was the cause as to why they couldn't make anything out of it.

[quor ote author=FalseProphet1 post=120191209]I would have said I should add Palm wine tapping to my prophetic ministry to boost my income. But that tree scares me. I don't want to be climbing with my Bell then fall and break my precious waist.

Let me continue with my prophetic ministry biko.

don't mind him, this is one of the reason, I don't feel for broke people. Their sense of reasoning is so annoying.

Wow! I love this.

For those that didn't watch it, the man gets 13-27 gallons a day from over 50 trees he taps from. One gallon sells for 7k. If we work with 13 gallons a day, that's 91,000 Naira a day...and 2.7 million a month

Some people will start planning on how to start the business after watching this video.

Srredkita:
Which kind lie be this..

Please take time and watch the full video.

He is the only palmwine tapper in that geographical location.

Senseless content creators.

ModCaller:
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 you watch the video, he said he gets 13 gallons on a regular day...one gallon sells for 7k...that's 91k a day, and 2.7 million Naira a month, if he is able to sell every gallon he taps. Even 2 million a month is quite impressive.

No mind dem. Dis one fit be low key kidnapper

temiflex01:
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!

Did you watch the full video? He gave figures...he said he gets 13 gallons on a regular day...one gallon sells for 7k...that's 91k a day, and 2.7 million Naira a month, if he is able to sell every gallon he taps. Even 2 million a month is quite impressive.
