Heard this is tomato,
where is it found and have you used it to cook?

My mom once used it while i was very young. She had to garnish it with other spicy so we can consume it cos it has a different taste.

It has gotten to the level we now look for alternatives for almost every food item in this country and they say we are moving forward and we shouldn't complain

Abeg who sabi alternatives to garri and beans

And the gullible ones still believe this country will get better where;

- There's no consequences for decision or indecision taken by the leaders.

- The leaders loot to high heaven and nothing happens.

Sweet from village.

Those are NOT tomatoes.
It is a type of melon (Edit: it is rather in the same family as melons).

Tomatoes are berries.

Nigerians are naively gullible.
