It makes me squeeze my handsome face.

then as a child we used to hunt for it and we would climb the tree cut some branches with matchet.most times we went home with abt two full sack bag, but for long now i've been avoiding it because of its sour taste expecially the road side one because the sellers do force ripe it with hot water.

it's Udara in Efik/ibibio dialect.
they used to sell it around 5 for 10 naira but Kingbuhari the dullard now Rose the price to 1 piece for hundred naira, Piperson could attest to it.
buhari is such a wicked man.
