With the way ladies now expose their breast,

Please, is the breast still a private part in a lady's body?

Nope.....is commercial commodity use for attracting clients

"Lady Kwali" choi i like the name smh.

A woman that can never be forgotten till eternity...her handwork and talent took her places

No be out sister dem wey be say na Olosho be dia work...dem go even dey proud ontop am

... Great woman,great talent.

Nice. Very well known by now.

My only worry is why does it always take a white man appreciating our work before we begin to do same?

Look at Benin arts, Nok culture, Ife arts, Nri arts, etc.

Until oyinbo valued them, we Africans (except immediate owners/tribe) barely did. Quite sad.

Good woman with so many plan for people

Great woman. RIP

@OP
You could have added a photo of the N20 note. This adds quality to your reporting and presentation skills especially since your write-up can be assessed by global audience.
Thanks.

Who cares?! She's no Michelangelo. She's no Leonardo da Vinci . Europe had beautiful sculptures in the 16th century! AfriCAN'Ts are too busy celebrating a woman that could only make pots in the 1980s. Damn you, losers.

You are a disgrace to your teachers.

The guy has a very low self esteem. Obviously. He needs a shrink no doubt.

R u high on osogbo weed?

So Nigerian pot-makers were recognized back in the days, how come none of today's Economists, Accountants, Engineers, Programmers, Doctors, Lawyers, Sociologists, Geologists, Journalists and so on are wasting away, unrecognized.

Something ain't right. Things have indeed changed 360 degrees.

Ladi Kwali is the first woman on the Nigerian naira note, the N20 note to be precise.

1. Lady Kwali was born in the village of Kwali in 1925, the Gwari region of Northern Nigeria, where pottery was an indigenous female tradition.

2. Her pots were noted for their beauty of form and decoration, and she was recognized regionally as a gifted and eminent potter.

3. Several were acquired by the Emir of Abuja, Alhaji Suleiman Barau, in whose home they were seen by Michael Cardew in 1950.

4. She learned to make pottery as a child by her aunt using the traditional method of coiling.

5. She is the only Nigerian woman to be featured on a currency note - 20 naira.

6. She left an indelible legacy of her numerous works and a school of ‘students’ who inadvertently, picked up from where she stopped at the prestigious Abuja Pottery Training School center.

7. She died on August 12, 1984.8. A sculpture of her is being made by Ambrose Diala.

9. A road in Abuja has been named after her, named Ladi Kwali road.

10. Kwali was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in 1962.

11. In 1980, the Nigerian Government (from the Cabinet Office of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) invested on her with the insignia of the Nigerian National Order of Merit Award (NNOM), the highest national honour for academic achievement.

12. The Sheraton Hotel houses the Ladi Kwali Convention Center, one of the largest conference facilities in Abuja with 10 meeting rooms and four ballrooms.

13. In 1977, she was awarded an honorary doctoral degree from Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria.

14. Ladi Kwali's pots were featured in international exhibitions of Abuja pottery in 1958, 1959, and 1962, organized by Cardew.

15. In 1961, Kwali gave demonstrations at the Royal College, Farnham, and Wenford Bridge in Great Britain. She also gave demonstrations in France and Germany over this period.

lalasticlala, Mynd44, Seun, ijebabe,

The moral of the story is...whatever the legitimate thing you found yourself in, be unique and passionate about it. This woman made beautiful kettle and jug with clay. See those pots as if they were machine-made...so precise. It's high time our youths began to note this... the saying that, one can become rich or recognisable only by education is an illusion. Education will only cause you to do things in an outstanding, unique and professional way...it's not the road to riches....rather, passion is. My friend opened a fashion outfit after her first degree in the UK a few years ago. She operates from home,with only on a small desk and a piece of laptop with Internet connectivity. She collates orders from ladies who live in the diaspora via her fashion website she opened with just 300 pounds. She sends clothe designs and measurement to her tailors in lagos, who would sew and despatch the clothes to the part of the world where such clothes/dresses were requested. What she makes monthly, only a senior manager at a leading oil company can make that and her client base keeps growing cos she has good tailors back home who make the dresses after orders are collected. Clients must pay in advance before orders can be processed. She has various designs on her websites where customers choose from. So amazing and that's what education can do. Her passion for fashion made her...and not her BSC degree obtained from a British university . Learn to do something now. You've got all it takes to be great and successful . White collar jobs are now scarce to find the world over.

I had to look for a 20 naira note to make sure she's actually there.


What an educating piece

In Jennifer's voice... doubting thomasing person

If it were today nobody would have noticed her. Today's Nigeria doesn't care about such things.
