- A highly upsetting photo of a Nigerian lady processing palm oil locally recently surfaced online

- In the picture, the woman was knee-deep in the palm oil she claimed to be refining

- This picture has triggered angry reactions from Nigerians who consider her method of processing to be unhygienic

A man identified as Ikechukwu Ani on Facebook shared a photo which has been considered by many to be irritable. In the picture he posted, a lady was spotted processing palm oil locally.

The unidentified lady was knee-deep in the palm oil which was enclosed within a hole dug from earth. Her clothes were filthy and wet from the stain smeared on her by the oil, and in her hands, was some crude waste that was unpleasant to the eyes.

Even the environment in which the woman and others were doing the processing did not look appealing. It was dirty and surrounded by green leaves. Many Nigerians did not quite like what they saw in the photo and they considered the woman's method of processing palm oil to be unhealthy.

This highly disturbing photo is surfacing in the wake of a related story which has gone viral. In this story, an Abuja-based woman shared photos of the fake palm oil she bought from the market.

According to the lady identified as Miracle Emmanuel on Facebook, she had bought the oil from Mararaba market and had used it to cook beans.

It was only then that she discovered that the oil was nothing like the palm oil she knew as it was made not out of palm kernel but out of a poisonous substance.
