But after the applause, the real question began to simmer: what happens to the pot?
In true Nigerian fashion, the first instinct was commerce. Auction it, some said. Sell it to the highest bidder, others suggested. After all, it’s no ordinary pot; it’s a Guinness-certified vessel of history, fame, and global headlines. Why not squeeze money out of it?
“So many people have asked about that pot… but I think that that one is a symbol of a lot of beautiful things. It’s a symbol of history. It’s a symbol of faith. It’s a symbol of innovation… Right now, I can tell you we’re definitely not going to auction it. We’re not going to sell it. We’re going to make sure that as many people as possible get to see it in its glory,” she said.
