In her video, which she posted on TikTok, @theruthaj said it was not worth the stress and the expenses.
According to her, the 29kg of palm oil costs only N64,000, but she ended up spending N285,000 for shipping.
She said:
"For some reason, I thought it was a good idea to ship palm oil from Nigeria. Tell me why I spent N285,000 to just ship this palm oil. Apparently, it was N9,000 per Kg and this was 29kg. Guys, I didn't even pay for the palm oil because my mum sent that to me for free. But nobody can convince me. This is a waste of money, it is not worth it at all. With the cost price of the palm oil, about 180 pounds for 25 litrers of palm oil."

Reactions as lady ships palm oil abroad

"My own 25litres shipping was 6800 per kg plus 1kg for pallets. Palm oil 25litres from Benue State 35k. Arrived at my door step 8days after shipping, although they said 10 days no additional charges."
@Amelia & Emily said:
"Honestly for me it’s worth it. Do the maths and see what it will cost you to buy that quantity here."
@11thgirl said:
"How long did it take by air? If you had shipped by sea it would have been way cheaper."
@jtobecomingamom5yrs said:
"It’s totally worth it and also the cargo is the one who is expensive all the same over worth. You use that palm oil for a long time. I am still advocate of shipping from 9ja."
@BRUNETTESGLAMMM|UK HAIR-VENDOR said:
"The only foodstuff I get back home is just Ogbonno, Egusi and Crayfish. The rest, I buy them here. It’s not worth it."
@Adaugo said:
"That’s a lot, you would have added foodstuffs. I did that with mine and it cost £207 for £43kg worth of goods, including 10litres of red oil. I won’t lie, it’s costly because everything I spent was 1million naira."
Lady ships foodstuff to her family in Nigeria

She showed how she packaged the things before sending them, but some people said she should have sent money to her family instead.
The items arrived in Nigeria and the lady said she did not buy most of the items she sent as she got them for free.
