The statue is a 42 feet tall statue with 30 risers and was constructed right on the spot Moremi lived several centuries ago.
It was 100 percent locally constructed by Nigerian engineers -The youths who constructed this sourced for 100 percent local Nigerian material to erect this beautiful statue.
At 161 feet, African Renaissance Monument in Dakar, Senegal, is the tallest statue in Africa after Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt which stands at 66 feet.

DeleteStella jst reminded me of owerri. That Akachi(hand of God)there.. Instead of government to develop that place and make it a relaxation park or even a tourist site.. them jst leave am there for bush to turn to forest.. sigh.
Lmaooo.. @Baby Oku, Rochas just wasted money erecting a superficial hand that can't do nada... Even the massive shopping mall around the area is yet to be leased out. Mctheeew... Poor excuse of a Governor who has chosen to frustrate his people.
DeleteWalahi... Rochas is nt serious in that state. Another Christmas is coming for him to go and decorate one part of owerri for celebration.. lol.

ReplyDeleteWhat da heck is Moremi Statue of Liberty???
Olodo,thats how she normally dress. Thats the complete Moremi,she doesn't step out without what you see in her hand. Do research,no they will not.
DeleteU guys are documenting rubbish. 3 tallest where?? Dont teach d children rubbish. Wat of Nelson mandela statue in Sandon square? Nonsense
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to come and exhibit your ignorance here. If you are sure it's not the3rd tallest then educate us with facts. How tall it is. Don't just give vague information. Na you dey talk rubbish now.
DeleteMisplacement of priorities.
ReplyDeleteThats why the whites keep treating you like arse wipes. Go to British museum and see all Nigerian artifacts there. You dont value what you have. The day I saw people paying £ to sight the original Oduduwa crafted head in London,I shook my head.
DeleteSome call it institutionalization of idol worship, I call it respect for history and advancement of cultural values.
ReplyDeleteMisguided MOGs oya, over to you.
