I consider myself to be very intelligent.


But I will not lie.. I hardly understood the message(s) behind most of the illustrations


Or maybe I've not pondered on them long enough.

That said... Very lovely illustrations.



*modified*


Ehen...I wan dey fear say my brain no sharp again... After looking at them a second time, I understood all of them... I must say THEY ARE JUST SOOOO BRILLLIANT...look at the one with the guy speaking on a podium, his words mean nothing because they are shiiit.

Then the guy in some sort of a cave with a ladder sticking out to the open (freedom), instead of him climbing the ladder out to his freedom, he rather used the rungs of the ladder as a source of fire/light in his captivity - This has a number of meanings, but since nobody send me message, make I just stop to dey talk

Bookmarked.

I'd like to believe that most of this satirical illustrations are contextual in meanings, and by that I mean, they could have various interpretations.

For the gold chained illustration, this is what I think it means - Many people choose to see their difficulties and hardships as absolutely negative, they see it in such a way that absolutely nothing good can come out of it, or there's no lesson to learn, but the truth is, no matter how bad your situation is, if you look deeper within, there's always a way to turn that situation into something as valuable as gold, you can learn a valuable lesson, or use your situation to teach someone a valuable lesson or in many cases that negative situation may just be the needed ingredient for your next major break through, take the instances of Yinka Ayefele, Stevie Wonder and Cobhams, they each have one handicap or the other but yet they chose to use those handicaps as golden opportunities to give their lives meanings. They are world famous celebrities in their respective fields

So that's one of such interpretations that I have personally drawn from that illustration. I hope it helped.



Cheers

THe black man is seen painting his old slavery chains into gold fashion chains rather than taking them off.. This can be related to the fashion craze among black people especially celebrities, who spend so much on buying gold chains.. it seems blacks are used to chains, aren't we?

Yes, you are on to something! (Although, pigs are said to eat most things it's presented). All of these animal, except the cat, can be somewhat cultivated for profit. It's the cat that is largely useless, economically speaking.



Or, the wheel could symbolise a revolution. The people are pulling down the statues to bring on a the new leader who will envitably fall from favour and thus the cycle repeats. New chapters, but the same old er3ction.
