Context:
Veranda posts embellish the courtyards of kings, chiefs, titled elders, and shrines for the gods. In Yoruba poetry, the post (opo) is a metaphor for strength, endurance, and stability. Such posts depict the 'pillars' of society---individuals who sustain the community -- warriors on horseback, mothers with their children, priestesses, and healers.
