Statue Of "Palm Zombie" In Brazil, Odu-duwa In Nigeria by SUNNEW: 11:11pm On Aug 14, 2019
Odu-duwa's Statue sited in Brazil with a label written in Portuguese (Zumbi dos Palmares) which literal meaning in English is (Palm Zombie).


Oduduwa was a Yoruba divine king as the Ooni of Ile-Ife, the Yoruba holy city. He was not only the first ruler of a unified Ife,[1][2] but also the progenitor of various independent royal dynasties in Yorubaland,[3] and is today venerated as "the hero, the warrior, the leader and father of the Yoruba people".[4] For a long time as propagated by early writers of Yoruba history, like the Bayajidda legend of the Hausa people, he was said to be an Eastern prince whose people were driven out of their kingdom in Mecca in Arabia [5] and were forced to migrate in a long march to present day south western Nigeria.

If only you knew who Zumbi dos Palmares was and what he stood for in Palmares, Brazil.

The government of Brazil would quake in fear whenever the name of the warrior-king os mentioned because of its portent for black emancipation and the history of revolution which it connotes.

Google his name and be blown away by his achievements.
