WRITTEN BY ALLEN EFFEH.
The footprints of Nigeria's history will forever remain in textbooks, documentaries and stories passed down by our fathers. And then while some may appear in museums in the western world (as a result of stolen artifacts when the British invaded wealthy empires like the Benin Kingdom), others have remained as a pleasant memory on the faces of currency notes.
At this point I'm not referring to Nigerian currency but Scotland currency.
In Scotland, currency denominations have different designs and one of the design they dedicated to some towns In Nigeria called where Mary Slessor stopped the Killing of Twins.
Not only did this £10 note feature a picture of Mary Slessor with Nigerian children she helped rescue but also names of some towns in Calabar and Akwa Ibom probably at that period.
some names of towns captured here are
Ikot Obong.
Use
Itu
Ikpe
Arochuckwu
Etc
Check out the Currency for yourself
Its nice to see that we are part of another nation's history.
