    Westerners are destructive monetizing this as usual. Frustrating.

    Without Africa Eruopee would be starving to death now. Europe has everything from Africa from food, oil to other minerals.

    Seeing this video makes me so sad as we had a tree like this growing in Tobago. We called it guinea tambran.The tree was unceremoniously cut down by a land developer who didn’t know its worth. When questioned we were told that they were going to plant back trees. Over 200 years to see another one produce fruit.

    Leave that for the locals, stop selling and buying the basic survival kit of the poor. Shame on if you buy this. I can't believe this is happening.
