NIGERIA-AGRICULTURE-TRADITION

TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY BEN SIMON Palm wine tapper Anthony Ozioko pours palm wine into a glass at Eha-Alumona town, Nsukka district of southeastern Nigeria on August 8, 2013. Nigerians have been drinking the sap from Raffia trees, a species of palm, since long before the country existed. Palm wine was once the region's main social drink, an almost mandatory offer at events like weddings and concerts.The proliferation of beer and foreign liquor have in part curbed the demand for the more traditional drink.
