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.

How will that develop ile-ife?
That place is just so dry, the last ooni didn't try o, he spent 30years on the throne and ile-ife didn't develop much, and we heard he has companies of great value

People never go toursim for Calabar wey get better tourist sites na to enter flight come see this one statue inside a village?


Ogbeni, oyibo no dey dat mumu. Abi u think they dnt have beta statues for oyiboland?

Wish they had put a giant light bulb in that her torch powered by solar energy, so that when it is night that can serve as a source of light to the streets around

Woow!... Its beautiful.
Yorubas are synonymous with true African culture.
A real African people who are both inward looking and world embracing.

All of you saying this statue is a copy of the liberty statue in New York, are all Wrong, because Yorubas don't copy anybody when it comes to cultural stuff. This is the original and much older statue, located within the Ooni of ife palatial complex.



Some EP.s are so silly. The only similarity between the moremi statue and that silly caucasian woman in NYC is that they are both raising their hands. Nothing more. Always wanting to link everything in Africa to external influences.

A mumu will always remain a muuuuumu.
So all those Oyibos who go to thailand and cambodia to see buddha statues and hindu temples don't have statues in their countries abi?
In case you don't know, the Yorubas have the largest African diaspora community in the Atlantic world, (North America, The Caribbean and South America + Coastal West Africa)

LOL.... Osun in general, and ile-Ife in particular is the Jerusalem and Mecca of the Yorubas and the Yoruba diaspora.
It is our cultural focal point okay... If you want to see industries in Yorubaland, Go to Oluyole, Shagamu, Agbara, Otta, Ikeja, Yaba, Ikorodu, Papalanto, Ibeshe, Obajana, Ibafo, Igbesa, Ajao/Ishaga.... And numerous others too many to mention here.. You go see enough industries.. Your eyes go drop.

..... Even so, Ilesha, and Ife-Ibadan expressway axis alone still has more cottage and mid size industrial ventures than the cave you call home.
