We are full of great history if we teach it more maybe we will now know that manufacturing is in our blood. We must now tun it to what consumers want abroad and send it to them. Not foreign factories set up to sell sending the money back to China, Korea and Japan. We can start with agriculture.

Igbo-Ukwu community is located in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State
The site dated 9th or 10th century A.D and it represents one of the earliest examples of bronze casting in sub-Saharan Africa.[i][/i] The site has several parts, including a main burial, associated caches and shrines. Igbo Ukwu was a burial place for elite personages, and the burials identified there were interred with a large quantity of costly grave goods. The principal burial is of a person buried sitting on a stool, in fine clothing and rich grave effects such as over 150,000 glass beads, and accompanied by the remains of at least five attendants. Elaborate cast bronze vases, bowls and ornaments were discovered at Igbo Ukwu, made with the lost wax technique. The detailed and delicate surface decoration of objects, featuring tiny figures of insects and small animals, and the addition of fine wires arranged to emphasize the shape of the piece. The vase illustrated is enveloped in a stylized woven net, possibly inspired by the type of net that would have been used for carrying containers. The site portray a lot of tourist attractions which gives any tourist that visit the area an insight of what the Igbo Ukwu people and Igbo in general where known for. One significant thing about Igbo-Ukwu bronze culture undoubtedly is that it is found in all the migration routes of the Igbos in all parts of Nigeria. This is coupled with the fact that Igbo-Ukwu has the largest deposits of bronze so far discovered in Africa.

vivaciousvivi: How creative cheesy Though I would never use bronze busts in my house. I would be too scared embarassed

Scared of what o jare? That you would be unable to maintain its polish??

I don't get Nigerians, if it was a sculpture of Mary, you will put it in your house happily. That's also an idol (and yes, I'm a catholic and proud to be one). Even a statue of Christ is an idol, read your bible well.

Dey carry wey pass u for una head

OP, you went past Ring rd or Igun street (I think that's the name) to find this. Most of these are Brass, not Bronze (Bronze is pretty expensive). They're quite nice and I would like to have one commemorating my family tree (which I can trace back at least 4 generations).

I wish to introduce you to a money making platform where all members pay just N2000`to make money.

You too can make a fortune here if you so wish. To begin, you are expected to have a minimum credit balance of N100 (one hundred Naira) on your phone; In order to hasten the process, It’s best for you to invite just 2 friends to join under you shortly after your registration. As soon as you do these, you are set to start making money almost immediately.

Even if you cannot find 2 people to join under you, don’t worry the system is designed to automatically place 2 people under you. We call it spillover. Note that you will not pay N2000 to me but to somebody on the platform as you will receive sms telling you whom to pay.

Now let’s go into the details:

1. To have a space on the platform you will buy your identification code that costs N50 (fifty Naira), we call it cash code. To buy the code, you will send SMS from your phone as this: BIZBUY#YOUR PHONE NUMBER to 33324. From 33324 you will receive a message confirming your purchase. At that stage, you are a member of the platform. Write your code in a safe place e.g your diary as you will always need your code for further transactions.

2. Now you will have to pair your code with P518735 to be part of the money making team. To pair your code, you will type as sms:

BIZPAIR#CLOSE#YOUR PHONE NUMBER#YOUR CODE#07039077430#P518735

You will send to 33324 making sure there is no space in-between what you have typed. You will receive a message stating:

“congrats your code has paired with (… a code) of (…gsm number)@2000.”

You will now call the gsm number collect his bank details and pay the person. As soon as he/she receives the cash, he will also receive a sms on how to approve your payment so you can move to the next level.

* * *

When 2 other codes pair up with yours they pay you N2000 each. You will have to generate a payment report for each by sending another sms command as follows:

BIZPAID#BIZPAIR#PHONE_NO_OF_GUEST-CODE#AMOUNT#YOUR_PHONE_NO#GUEST-CODE

TO 33324 e.g.

BIZPAID#BIZPAIR#08022222222#2000#07039077430#P518735
to 33324

From that moment you are set to be receiving money. People will start calling you to pay you starting from N2000, then N3000, and then N5000 progressively as more people are joining after you.

See what you will receive:

You will receive N2,000 from 2 people making N4,000 and you will pay up N3,000 and retain N1,000! Then after…..

You will receive N3,000 from 4 people making N12,000 and you will pay up N5,000 and retain N7,000! Then after…..

You will receive N5,000 from 8 people making N40,000 and you cycle out.

You can then pay N2,000 and start the process again.


If you are serious about this opportunity, you can be making more than N40,000 from the platform every two weeks. You have nothing to lose, as everybody makes money here because of the way the program is designed.

Please note that all sms to 33324 cost N50 only.

If you still need more details feel free to call me, text me or chat me on whatsapp on 07039077430 or 08188920430

fairari022: sometime ago when I sojourned the great Britain for a couple of weeks, upon my arrival at the Liverpool museum, I caught a sight of similar artifacts. I was intrigued a kinda, then scrutinize scrupulously, only to decover some were labeled to bini, Nigeria. I later fathomed they stole some of those artifacts from the then bini empire.


Britain is been stealing since the days of lord lugaurd.
Very correct sir• But thank God for his blessings...the ones we have now are even better and more than the onces dey stole....
