Lol.... Nigeria don't have much of what you are looking for,until a relative of mine who is schooling in China chatting me and told me how she has tasted a lot of sweet vegetables. That's also why we don't eat right in this country.

Yeah... sure... we see how the Chinese "eat right" a lot.

That's why the Wuhan "seafood" market became world-famous.

Good morning,

I have ugu leaves for sale directly from the farm. order for any quantity. though at least a sizeable quantity. can supply anywhere within lagos. My farm location is at ikorodu. I will also embark on large scale dry season ugu farming by November, so potential buyers should also keep this number.
