It's not a ripoff of the Statue of Liberty. " Before she had been in the country very long, she had learnt all the secrets of her enemies. She found that they were not gods but ordinary men. On going into battle they wore strange mantles of grass and bamboo fibre, and this accounted for their unnatural appearance. She also learned that because of these mantles of dry grass, they were much afraid of fire, and that if the Ifes were to rush among them with lighted torches, they would quickly be defeated. As soon as it was possible, she escaped from the palace and from the territory of the Igbos and returned to her own people. Her tidings were joyfully received at Ile-Ife, and shortly afterwards the Igbos were utterly defeated by the trick Moremi had suggested." http://omoyorubadfw.org/Story-of-Moremi.html . 3 Likes 1 Share |

buffalowings: Not interested in all your to and fro. What is the relationship between a new Moremi statue and Ife-Ibadan express? And where is your proof that road contract what awarded to the Oba? Do you think a road that lasts 10 years in a place like Sokoto will last 3 in a place like Ibadan-Ife... Use your sense here. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AreaFada2:Yoruba women were and are still today raised to be strong and the definition of feminism. That is why they are hated. Weak men don't understand it. But they are as much warriors as their men. Many many strong females Yoruba figures in history. The thing is Nigerian government tries to distort history. Efunsetan and madam Tinubu alone were like 10 men in one woman. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Moremi (my great ancestor) I salute you. Yoruba women have always been strong and feminist - long before the white people understood the meaning of the word. Good one Kabiyesi - ade a pe lori bata a pe lese. To the children of hate from Ugandan - you are very predictable and I want you to keep on hating because your jealousy gives me a lot of pleasure. 9 Likes |

thesicilian: Don't wanna step on any toe, but I don't think anyone is going to 'troop' into the state just to see this statue. I don't think many people understand Nigeria's main selling points or in general African and other countries points and attractions they use in selling tourism. Nigeria's should be original culture and nature and wildlife, this isn't it. Still it's better than that nonsense white Jesus statue they built in the east somewhere. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Funnicator: It's called religious or cultural tourism. They've got awesome theme parks like Disney, sea world, magic world, why would they spend more by going to Calabar? Lots of these whites that I've met personally are fascinated by the stories of heroines like Moremi, Queen Amina, Madam Tinubu. Also, some of them are crazy about the pantheons and legends of the Yoruba culture and would come to Nigeria for some kind of religious tourism. You see, you cannot create, for example, a Sango or Yemoja theme park in Orlando Florida, it'll be a hard sell. It has to be where the legend said they actually lived. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Aigbofa: Yes. Read about her. A lot of these overgrown idiots on this forum are uneducated louts. Most of them don't even read and they expose themselves every time they post. I'm sure none of them know what Lady Liberty represents and its origin. Yet they keep spamming the thread with it. Imagine the other clown asking if he's still in the era of statues when former NBA players who're legends are getting statues erected for them...Shaq just got one this year at the staples centre and Kobe should get one as well in the next few years. The Queen would get a big statue when she dies as well. They don't even know the symbolism of statues, yet they always feel the need to post their illiterate opinions everywhere. These folks are the most backward and dumbest people on the planet. The ignorance is just appalling most times. 10 Likes 2 Shares |
