“The Lizard Lady”: To say she is “sharp tongued” would be a polite understatement. Whether she is right or wrong is beside the point, just go along with it… Lily is not the one you want to argue with. I’ve seen her tittle a guest’s fancy with that black tongue one moment, only to pluck their eye clean out of its socket the next. If you DO plan a visit; polite discourse and generous gratuities are advised and encouraged.

- Bulb of Africa 1Located in Ibadan, OyoBulb of Africa was not just a hairstyle; it was a celebration of African heritage and a testament to the resilience of its people. Passed down through generations, it represented strength, beauty, and the rich tapestry of African traditions. The Bulb showcased the natural texture and volume of African hair, transforming it into an intricate masterpiece of braids, twists, and coils. The Bulb of Africa became a symbol of empowerment, reminding people of their strength, resilience, and the beauty of their shared heritage. It served as a reminder that hair was more than a physical attribute; it was a connection to something greater—a connection to their ancestors, their community, and celebrating the beauty within themselves. Beyond their physical beauty, African women possess an immeasurable inner strength that resonates through "Bulb of Africa." Odunayo masterfully captures this strength, highlighting the resilience and determination that have defined African women throughout history. The women depicted in the artwork emanate confidence, wisdom, and a sense of purpose. Their gaze speaks volumes, embodying the stories of countless African women who have overcome adversity, shattered barriers, and carved out their own paths to success. In "Bulb of Africa," Iyiola Odunayo...Category
