    Another great content Tayo. If you are in traditional education field, you possibly will be an associate professor or professor by now. This is just because of how good you are at what you do. You truly have mastered your craft. I seriously like the sound of your voice in your narration. We often only talk about traditional school system as education. What you are doing is pure education. I never knew a place like this existed. My only knowledge of traditional salt isn’t more than ancient Mali and Ghana empire (not present day Ghana) where bar of salts were used as medium of exchange. And ofcourse salt was very important for Roman Empire as preservatives because when they go to war they use it to preserve their food. Salt was so important and had this phrase ‘worth his salt’ when they say someone worth his salt, it means you worth your pay or you are valuable. Let me end by saying that Tayo is worth is salt and the accolade.I like this traditional method of salt production and I am proud to be African.

Thank you so much, Tayo for bringing us with you to Benin Rep. Seeing Africa through the eyes of African ppl born and raised in Africa (like me), nothing compares to it…not CNN, not BBC (Lol), etc. Your videos are excellently done. These videos don’t serve as just “entertainment”. They have educational value, they are show-casing history, and culture as well. They also play a large role in connecting Africans in the diaspora to invest heavily in Africa.👍👍👍🌍🌍🌍
