I won’t get into the details of why eggs are synonymous with Easter celebrations, but they somehow symbolise the re-emergence of Christ. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s focus on some lesser-celebrated iconic eggs.

This egg was highly slept on until Nollywood showed us the light in 2003. We can’t say we know how you can lay your hands on this magical egg that has the power to raise the dead but start by going to Google with the search query: “Where’s the nearest evil forest?”
