This reminds me of my days growing up with my parents. I participated in the process of turning palm fruit to red oil. A long but interesting process. We had banana those days too.
Transporting these stuffs for 2000 naira got me thinking. Transportation cost is killing the economy. If you could pay that amount for such distance, imagine what it would cost to move those bananas to the North.
You expressed every of your activities so clearly. Cheers!!!
