Visiting the Moremi Statue of Liberty…
The next morning, I made my way to the city centre to see the Statue of Moremi Ajasoro. If you’re familiar with Yoruba folklore, then you must have heard the story about the brave Queen of Ile-Ife who single-handedly secured the victory of her people. It’s quite an interesting read, I’ll write about it in a separate post.
When I arrived at the complex that housed the statue, I met the gate locked. A quick search on google told me that the place was closed on Saturdays. I was a bit disappointed, to say the least, but I decided to make lemonades out of lemons. I had a fun mini photo session outside the gate.
Once that was over, I packed my stuff to leave but just as I was about doing so, a woman came riding on a bike. She stopped and opened the gate, so I could go in. I was ecstatic!
