It's surprising how everything that comes out of palm fruit becomes useful for other things

Lol! It's not firewood bro. I has a slim palm frond stick in beween to help hold the palm fruit chaff erect for easy use.

Please mod, send this to the appropriate column.

I went to the village some days back and saw one of the women making this.I don't think many people know what it is.
In my own part of the country, Abia state precisely,this is a local torch which the people in the village use. It is produced from the chaffs of palm fruit,i.e after extracting palm oil from the fruit. It is very flammable,burns brightly and lasts for a long time.
Just saw it and decided to share it here.
