We have a coconut tree in our compound and whenever my dad trims the fronds he uses it to make baskets. He is retired bdw. 11 Likes

Nice. There's just no waste with nature. Does he sell the baskets? 3 Likes |

Impressive. As a retiree, the weaving is mentally stimulating and good for brain health. 1 Like |

nahr:What do you mean "your mom has chickens"? No be the two of them dey eat the chicken?  |
| Re: Apparently My Dad Makes Baskets Now by nahr(op): 7:52pm On Nov 04, 2025 |
Kobojunkie:I actually meant that she is the one that actively rears them, like she feeds them. We all eat the chicken actually. |
| Re: Apparently My Dad Makes Baskets Now by Kobojunkie: 8:12pm On Nov 04, 2025 |
nahr:Since he is retired and already weaving backets, supposedly for the chickens, can't they both actively rear those chickens together — like grow it into a side hustle to both benefit them and their pockets —in retirement? |

Kobojunkie:He actually has side hustles, he just does this as a hobby and my mum has her business too. |
