Kokoro the blind drummer

I return to Tinubu Square in today's post with this statue of Lagos' popular blind minstrel Kokoro the Drummer. This statue was raised in honour of the minstrel who died in January. He was 83 years old. Here's a link to read more about the life of the minstrel who became blind early in life and turned to music to earn a living.

Wings of Liberty

Inside the refurbished Tinubu Square in the heart of Lagos Island is this fountain called Wings of Liberty. I was about to take a shot when these kids asked me if they could pose. Never say never, so I told them to go ahead.

Tinubu Square

Madam Efunroye Tinubu, ancestor of the immediate past governor of the state was a leader of women. The square had been in disrepair for a number of years before it was rebuilt two years ago. It adds a lot of beauty to down town Lagos Island now. Many tourists now visit it on a daily basis. Entry is free.
