The Moremi statue of liberty which is a 42 feet tall statue with 30 risers, was constructed right on the spot where Moremi lived several centuries ago.

FSBoperator:Why not be scientific by mentioning the heights of those two statues instead of resorting to name calling? The height of a picture could to a large extent be determined by the position of the photographer. I have every reason to believe that the Moremi statue is higher than the Jos & Calabar ones, considering the fact that you have to climb 30 steps before reaching the statue. I appeal to our Eastern brothers not to be so blinded with hate and bigotry that we become so resentful and unappreciative of other people's cultures. IT'S FALLACIOUS TO ASSOCIATE THE ENTIRE YORUBA RACE TO APC & THEIR WOES, JUST AS I WON'T DO THE SAME TO EASTERN NIGERIA BECAUSE OF AMAECHI, OKOROCHA, ONU, NGIGE, SLYVA, OSHIOMOLE, OBASEKI, PETERSIDE etc. I respect you guys & your culture a lot, and I expect you to respect what we also represent. |
