Ulog1 A day out with the three wise men.

The three wise men also known as Agba Meta or Aro Meta is an Art Deco statue of three Lagos white-cap chiefs located in Lagos., beautifully designed and crafted by the famous Bodun Shodeinde, who has the highest honour accorded to anyone in eko greeting tradition. It was built in 1991 and standing over 12 ft high.

Legend has it that it was erected and placed upon a high pedestal to welcome people into the city of Lagos, Welcome to Lagos portrays the image of three white cap chiefs in slightly different positions, wearing white wrappers tied across their shoulders with their right fists clenched, thus symbolizing the strong belief of the supremacy of the right hand over the left.

The figure on the right-hand side stretches his fist forward to the air; with an inclined fist a bit down, the figure in the middle holds his right fist forward while the figure on the left brings his two fists together, slightly touching each other in the air.

Fascinating isn't it, some cultures and traditions are just beautiful.

Typical day in lagos with these wise men. It is said that Inorder to be old and wise, one has to be young and stupid...getting there
