According to @Titilolaoluwa, 16 bags of cocoa are now worth N10 million in Akure, the capital of Ondo state.
@Titilolaoluwa urged people to go into cocoa farming as it is a profitable venture. He wrote:
“We just sold Cocoa beans at N10m pmt. 16 bags of cocoa is now N10m in Akure.
“Time to organise a family meeting if your grandparents had cocoa farms in the village and your parents were afraid to get involved.”
He laughed at millennials scared of village people.
“I know millennials are afraid of village people. Never knew GenZs too could be afraid with all the wokeness.
“So, online is different from reality when it comes to village people .”
TheTalk.NG had reported how chocolate gotten from cocoa could counter climate change.

People react to the massive cocoa sales
@AKakanfo said:
“My grandfather has a cocoa plantation. It’s some of my extended family members that are managing. We haven’t collected one kobo from it in 20 years.”
@SurprisingLagos said:
“This is one crop we have abandoned in the SW, no thanks to crude oil. We can reinvent those cocoa stacks again, process them and begin exporting them as paste or chocolate.”
@olaniyi79 said:
“We still have cocoa farms and they are drying up becos our parents were afraid for our safety so they didn’t involve me for my safety when I was young, unfortunately those cocoa trees are drying off and those family members handling them just sell them for peanuts.”
