Well, I discovered that Ife Brass Head which is the national emblem of the Nigeria Television Authority NTA was stolen or deceitfully obtained (taken without permission or exchanged with gun powder like some people suggested) since 1938 and I made a tread about it here . I went further to mail the British Museum asking the British Museum if there was any signed document for the procurement of the piece of artifact but before I do, my siblings were like saying "Do you know the implication of what you wanted to do, the MI6 might be on your tail blah blah bla" so i was further enraged and sent a mail, not satisfied with the content of the mail, I went to chat online with their rep to further elucidate my mail. I was direct in the chat, the transcript of which she (the rep) added to my mail.

My question was
"what is the modalities behind the procurement of your artifact"
"was their any signed document with the government which i doubted because there was no constitutionally elected government as at then"
"why wasn't the artifact released when we get our independence in 1960"



Note:
The British government is known for stealing from around the world,
They stole many works of Socrates, Plato and many other ancient Greek and Rome philosophers proof here
They stole works of ancient Egyptians and Sudanis there was a conspiracy of a bombing ancient library proof here
Can you even imagine stealing mummies? Yes they stole Egyptians mummies too proof here .


British government is fantastically corrupt!!!
Up to 80% of the artifacts in their museum were stolen between 1200 - 1900AD

Interesting....

This is a precious statue of Queen Nerfartiti stolen from Egypt.

You can see the look on Angela Merkels's face.

Inside this coffin is the remains of Queen Nefertiti in British Museum.

Somebody cannot even die and sleep in peace!

Pardon me for asking this, but should they return the brass head, what are the guarantees that it won't be looted by someone who will keep it in their private collection, or that it won't be destroyed in one communual clash or the other?

Lalasticlala, what do you think?

Nine Priceless Artifacts British Museum Should return to their Home countries

From Syria, India, Greece, Egypt, everywhere they just steal.
Queen Nefertiti is a public icon who at her time of reign is like Queen of England of today.

Now imagine what will happen is a country, say Yemen steal the remains of the queen and display it in a museum.

Sir, the Ife Brass Head is a national emblem, we have functioning museum all around the country, I've seen the one in OAU and some other institutions, it can't be so hard to maintain this artifacts, its a slap seeing a national emblem of a country lying in another man's domain, not just that, it was acquired illegally and till now, I bet many Nigerians never knew this piece of artifact is not within the shores of Nigeria.

You are not talking about returning our money in various countries na this babalawo Idol you won make dem return.

Not saying we shouldn't try to get it back, but would it have been as popular as it is if stationed in Nigeria? Just asking, because we need to think deeply about this.

The Ife Brass Head is already popular, British Museum didn't make it popular, its is the logo of NTA and was recently used as a mascot when OAU hosted the NUGA games.
