Madam Ladi Kwali, the woman on the back of N20 note

-

I didn’t know the story of the image at the back of our N20 note until I stumbled on this and I must say that I’m very impressed by Madam Ladi Kwali and her exploits. Nigeria is blessed with great minds!

She is Nigeria’s best known potter who was awarded a Doctorate and was made MBE in 1963 for the level of detail and skill she utilized while making her pots.

Ladi Dosei Kwali (1925-1983) popularly known as Dr Ladi Kwali was born in 1925 in Kwali town in the present Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria. I join other well meaning Nigerians to celebrate this great woman

  Spider monkeys weigh about 6 kg (13.2 pounds) and are 35–66 cm (14–26 inches) long, excluding the heavily furred tail, which is longer than the body. The coat, of variable length and fineness, ranges among the several species from gray to reddish, dark brown, or black. Most have a black face with white eye rings, but some have a flesh-coloured face.  Spider monkeys live in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America and occur as far north as Mexico.  The monkeys live in bands numbering up to 35 animals but  forage  in smaller groups, roaming the highest branches during the day. They feed most intensively early in the day, relishing  fruit  supplemented by  nuts , seeds, buds,  flowers , and  leaves  as well as  spiders  and bird  eggs . They do not normally descend from the trees. They will leap or drop spread-eagled from one tree to another. Spider monkeys are dextrous with their tail as well as their ha...

What Would You Do If You Came Home To Find 102 Snakes In Your Home?

Earlier this week, a family in Saskatchewan, Canada got the surprise of a lifetime when they came home to find their house invaded by snakes. Somehow, over 100 garter snakes found their way inside the family's home. The snakes were looking to escape the plunging temperatures outside and begin hibernating for the winter. I'm not sure I could think of a worse place for a snake to hibernate. I feel bad for the poor family. Even though these are harmless snakes, this would freak me  out. I don't want my house to be invaded by things that creep or crawl. No thank you very much .
