Product Overview
These Kolanuts holds a significant place in the Ekiti culture and lore. It must, therefore, be studied like zoology, philology, biology, cosmology, psychology, and kabuki; hence my title, a Kolanutology.a For this writer, the symbolism of the kolanut assumed an added importance, when Chief Bob Ogbuagu told a story last fall at a Nigerian gathering in New Jersey. He recalled how in pre-independence Nigeria, the founding fathers were looking for a common symbol acceptable to all Nigerians that would serve as a icon on the coat of arms and as a unifying national symbol. The consensus was the kolanut; but, regrettably for reasons still unknown, it was never used. Nevertheless the national affinity to the Kolanuts remains strong.
