What is so iconic about her that you had to do a statue of her. What ground-breaking or sacrificial thing has she done for the country?? Even Chimamanda has done more remarkable things. Make she rest abeg!

So, the big question is: What is the significance of this statue? What is the extra ordinary thing she did? Can somebody enlighten me please?
