You raise a very good reason, and I continue that I have two bottles of Uganda
Waragi that I have kept now for ten years, can I auction them?

Subject: [abujaNig] WINE DRINKING AND COLONIAL MENTALITY
Dear Friends,
I have worked with a few people from the Francophone countries who think and
feel that anything European or French like wine drinking, haute couture,
perfumes, etc etc are superior to African things. They therefore live like
Europeans in their heads and minds but sport a black skin. What other than
sheer packaging and brain-washing can be corked in a bottle and be made to be
worth $25,000.00 - Imagine the number of palm trees that $25,000.00 will grow
in Africa and the drums of palm wine that we can generate from that talk less
of the kain-kain, burukutu, and ogogoro that we can produce.
I have drunk wine(s) from Australia, France, Portugal, California, and my Inn
of Court serves only Port from Portugal. I swear none even the $30,000.00
ones ever compare to the humble palm wine that I drank at Ya' ko yo (Stop by
and be fed) a village near Ile Ife and another one I drank in Oke Igbo on my
way from Ile-Ife to Ondo town.
Why have we thrown away all that is great and good in us in Africa and we
embrace cheap and less useful products simply because they are foreign.
People who are enslaved in their minds think this way. If I bottle palm wine
for 30 years and place it for auction will a European send an e-mail to fellow
Europeans to come and buy it at $10.000.00 talk less of this insane and
obscene amount for less than a litre of alcohol? Palm wine has yeast that is
great for the eyes. Tell me what is healthy in that stupid bottle and the
stupider call to call Africans to come and waste hard earned money on a silly
acquired taste.
Everything is in the mind - when we treat the colonised minds of Africans, our
bondage will be over and our genuine liberation will start.
Cheers.
IBK

People
To those interested in wine, there are two bottles of Richebourg wine that
have been put up for auction in Toronto. Starting bidding price a bottle is
25,000 dollars. They are fifty years old. So if you are interested in wine
collection don't miss this opportunity for a nice wine.
