Nigerians on social media are skeptical of a trending story claiming that a 37-year-old Nigerian Palm Wine Tapper named Utobo has constructed a two-story building and purchased a Mercedes Benz.
Utobo claims to spend 19 hours of every 24 hours climbing 53 palm trees three times per day.
He fills 24 gallons of palm wine, which he sells at the market every day, according to the story.
This news has elicited a variety of reactions on Twitter, with some users questioning his claims.
Son Of David said “Palmwine tapper built a detached duplex and bought a Mercedes by climbing 53 palm trees and selling 24 gallons of palm wine daily. If na so, the beer parlour owners for Oluwole tarmac for don buy jet. Perspire to perspire, until the day we’d hear he keeps hostage for kidnappers.”
