The nut of Ogbogo, a Benin tree, is as yet unvalued, though it 
appears to be an oil-yielding fruit. 
There is, too, the long almond- 
shaped nut of Oktobun. Although it has a somewhat hard shell, 
the nut is very large in proportion, and the kernel seems to be rich 
in oil. So far no use has been made of it.
