His words:

"I sold my Ugu leaves in an open market last week directly to the consumers! And people in the market were just looking at me like someone that wore backside of cloths! I was able to finish the sales within 10 minutes. I tied it bigger than what is available in the market; it's fresh and the leaves are broad. I broke the chain of middlemen last. If I am chanced this week, I will still go again.
"I tied it N500 per bundle and in just ten minutes, I made N14800, someone's three days pay. It's supposed to be N15, 000 but I sold the last one, N300."
