One word: Tourism. People troop in to see the statue from all over the word, and these people spend millions of dollars yearly in the process of buying food, staying in hotels, transport, etc. Not to talk if the aspect of exposure to other peoples cultures and ideas, which is a fast track to economic and infrastructural development.

"Moremi Ajasoro " - unveiled.


Ooni of Ife yesterday unveiled the tallest statue in Nigeria Moremi Ajasoro.It is 42 feet tall with 30 risers.It is the tallest statue in Nigeria and the 3rd tallest in Africa.

It is constructed right on the spot Moremi lived several centuries of years ago. It is 100 percent locally constructed by Nigerian engineers and  youths sourced with sole  Nigerian materials.

At 161 feet, African Renaissance Monument in Dakar, Senegal, is the tallest statue in Africa, then the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt which is 66 feet.
Moremi Ajasoro statue of Liberty in Ile- Ife , Nigeria at 42 feet is now the third tallest in Africa.

Ramesses II in Egypt at 30 feet, is the fourth tallest. Nelson Mandela Union Building in South Africa has a 28 feet statue and is the fifth tallest in the continent and Jesus Satue in Owerri Nigeria the fifth as well.

Haba, calm down na..million of dollars just for this or for the whole tourism sector in Nigeria, do you actually know the income that was generated from tourism in Nigeria last year?

A well established tourism sector in any country generates billions of dollars a year. Nigeria has a lot of tourists attractions, all we need is proper management.

Why do you dirt poor stark illiterates with poverty mentality always feel the need to give an opinion on issues above ya mental capacity?

Is the king responsible for improving the standard of living and education? If the state governor and Booharry can't do both for you scroungers, that is ya prerogative.

The king is the custodian of Yoruba culture/tradition and he's doing what he's meant to do. If you don't like it, you can blow ya fvcking brain off and take eternal L in hell. FOH.
