Nigerian Palm Wine tapper identified as Utobo shocks many as he declares owning two houses and a Mercedes Benz from the business.

The 37-year-old tapper in an interview revealed that he spends 19 hours out of 24 daily climbing up to 53 palm trees, 3 times per day.

In his statement, he confirmed that he fills 24 gallons of palm wine which he sells at the market daily.

Delving into his life's journey, Utobo revealed that he started in 1997 when he was 12 years old and used the business to send himself to school.

Utobo relocated to Abia state where he had invested in a fast food business that failed.

He also stated how he sponsored his wife's education to the tertiary level with the same wine business.

As a palm wine tapper, Utobo is a proud family man who owns two houses and a luxury Mercedes Benz SUV in his name.

The Nigerian tapper's story, however, stirred mixed reactions from social media users who doubted his narration.

"He spend 19hrs daily tapping palm wine daily.
- What time did he use to distribute his palm wine?
- How many hrs does he sleep?
- He should tell us what he does actually. Palm wine story doesn't add up.
In this current inflation in Nigeria, Mr Utobo story doesn't add up one bit." a social media user wrote in reaction.

Former Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, is open to managing England if head coach Gareth Southgate steps aside following the Three Lions' 2022 FIFA World Cup exit.

According to The Sun, Tuchel, who is currently out of a job after he was sacked by Chelsea in September, would be interested in taking the England job if Southgate stands down.

England's World Cup hopes were dashed over the weekend as Southgate's side were beaten 2-1 by France in the quarter final.

Southgate, meanwhile, sparked speculation over his own future by insisting after his side's elimination from the World Cup that he is not sure if he wants to continue as England manager.

However, the report added that the Football Association (FA) would prefer to appoint a British coach as Southgate's successor, which puts the likes of Graham Potter, Eddie Howe, and Brendan Rodgers in the frame.

When asked by The Hindu Times if he had considered managing a national team, Tuchel said last month:

"Yeah, why not? I would, I would. I didn't give too much thought to it until now.

"But I would consider if it's the right team and if it has the potential to win trophies like the World Cup and the Euros."

Football star, Cristiano Ronaldo has reacted to Portugal's ouster from the 2022 FIFA world cup currently taking place in Qatar.


Underdogs, Morocco beat Portugal 1-0 on Saturday December 10, putting in a stellar performance that saw them become the first African team to reach a world cup Semifinal.


Despite the presence of Ronaldo and other stars like Joao Felix, Bruno Fernandes, Ruben Neves, Morocco's defence could not be broken and Ronaldo was seen crying as he left the stadium after the match.



Taking to his Instagram page on Sunday afternoon, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker who is 37 years old and has most likely played his last world cup, revealed that it was his biggest dream to win the world cup.


"Winning a World Cup for Portugal was the biggest and most ambitious dream of my career. Fortunately I won many titles of international dimension, including Portugal, but putting our country's name on the highest foot in the World was my biggest dream.

I fought for it . I fought hard for this dream. In the 5 appearances I scored in World Cups over 16 years, always by the side of great players and supported by millions of Portuguese, I gave my all. Leave it all out on the field. I never turned my face to the fight and I never gave up on that dream.

Sadly yesterday the dream ended It's not worth reacting to heat. I just want you all to know that much has been said, much has been written, much has been speculated, but my dedication to Portugal hasn't changed for a moment. I was always one fighting for the objective of all and I would never turn my back on my colleagues and my country.

Not much more to say for now. Thank you Portugal. Thank you Qatar The dream was nice while it lasted... Now, it's hoping that the weather will be good advisor and allow each one to draw their own conclusions.
