Meet the woman on the back of N20 note.


We all spend this note and I am sure some of us don't even bother to know who's on our Naira, well even me too until I stumbled on this and I must say that I'm very impressed by Madam Ladi Kwali and her exploits. Nigeria is blessed with great minds!

She is Nigeria's best known potter who was awarded a Doctorate and was made MBE in 1963 for the level of detail and skill she utilized while making her pots. 

Ladi Dosei Kwali (1925-1983) popularly known as Dr Ladi Kwali was born in 1925 in Kwali town in the present Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria. I join other well meaning Nigerians to celebrate this great woman!
