Kai-kai or ogogoro (Nigeria)/ Akpeteshie (Ghana)
Kai-kai or ogogoro is illegally produced gin available in Eastern Nigeria.
In the 1930s and 1940s, the production of kai-kai was halted by British colonialist as documented by Rowan University student Chima J. Korieh.
This prohibition was instituted as a way to generate more revenue for the British while further disenfranchising Nigerians.
The alcoholic brew is made from fermented Raphia palm tree juice.
Kai-kai is also referred to as sapele water, ufofob and robirobi amongst other names.
In Ghana, it is known as akpeteshie and it was brewed by the Anlo. It was outlawed in the early 1930s by the British colonial government. It is distilled from palm wine or sugarcane juice.
