The vulture rests peacefully on top of the church calmly and unbothered, In many Nigerian communities, such a sight would immediately be called a bad sign a symbol of death, darkness, or evil, and in most cases some will even curse the church. But the painting challenges that belief, the bird is not hunting, attacking, or causing harm. It simply resting in a place where people fear its presence.
