thesicilian:Funnicator: :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 of the aspect of exposure to other peoples cultures and ideas, which is a fast track to economic and infrastructural development. ....Not to talk of endorsements from photos, Souvenirs and items(crafts) that will be made and sold by the youths and skilled workers. Documentaries and clips.........more extension to tourism..........Gawd!!!!!!! help out brains out of "recession" 3 Likes 1 Share |

It is a shame to our land given comments of some people here on this wonderful step by the king. indeed people deserve the kind of leader they have. so pathetic that our youths have lost it all, no regards for our traditions and culture. I just hope some of our universities with toe the line of great ife (for learning and culture). Good one our king, more power to your elbow. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Those of us calling it a ripoff of the Statue of Liberty need to pause for a while and think about the iconography of the torch-bearing raised hands of both Statues. I believe an art expert will know what it means. Let's not sprain our ankles by jumping into conclusion too soon. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I don't know why people are spamming Statue of Liberty all over the thread when the idea of the statue was inspired by ancient Nubia monuments and the original statue was a Nubian/black peasant and the statue was originally built for the Suez Canal in Egypt before it found its way to America. Art always imitate art and the fact that this statue represents a black woman shows it's more original than the current Statue of Liberty cos the original one was a Nubian woman. Some of fvckers need fresh air - no one wants to read about some fraudulent Statue of Liberty here. This is about Ife. 8 Likes 1 Share |
