Word of the Day: “A child’s fingers are not scalded by a piece of hot yam which its mother puts into its palm.” – Nigerian Proverb

Today in history, we commemorate the completion of the formidable Kano city wall in West Africa, marking the end of its 40-year construction which began in 1095. Commissioned by King Kijimazuto to repel invaders, this architectural marvel stood 3.5 meters high and 1.4 meters thick, adorned with intricate decorations and featuring regularly spaced gates equipped with guard towers. By 1903, the wall was acclaimed as ‘the most impressive landmark in West Africa’. Despite this recognition, the relentless expansion of Kano’s population over the centuries led to the wall’s gradual degradation, leaving only fragments by the 21st century.
