Fresh Coconut in Ghana and no more UK box version. So authentic buying from a street vendor. Taking the flesh home to make coconut milk for smoothies , porridge and treats.
.
I love a plant that’s so versatile from use of seed for oil or cosmetic. Flesh for milk or cooking, confectionery and shell husks for furnishing, decoration and charcoal.
.
Thank you mother nature for providing the coconut palm for over 5000 years.
.
Ghanaian Language for coconut:
Ga : akokooshi
Ewe: 3n3
Fanti: Kube
Twi: kube

The Oba was the spiritual, specular and ritual head of Benin Empire that was formed by the Edo people – now Modern day South Western Nigeria. Oba means king. Benin was invaded by the British in 1897

The first time I saw Benin Bronzes was at British museum in London in 2012, were many STOLEN artefacts are on display.

A few years ago the British only just agreed to LOAN back some of the STOLEN bronzes to Nigeria for their own museum.
