International Blue Shield Reacts To Looted Nigerian Artefacts Sold By Christies by Ohizman73(m): 10:14pm On Oct 16, 2020 |
This issue earlier came up in an earlier tread on Nairaland ( https://www.nairaland.com/5959807/christie-sells-nigerian-statues-igbo) concerning the illegal sale by Christies Auction House UK of Nigerian artifacts of Igbo origin looted during the Nigerian Civil War .In this regard on behalf of concerned professionals in the field of Cultural Emergency Response in Nigeria. I had brought up the issue to the International Blue Shield. Moreover as i am presently processing the country's application to join the International organization.They promised to respond and take up the issue officially and behold i just received a their response "Good afternoon Mr Ohimai Evborokhai The Illicit trafficking working group have considered the issue you raised and written the following statement, which has been reviewed by our legal team. I will need to raise the issue with the Board for their approval also, but I wanted to send it to you first". Best wishes Emma Dr Emma Cunliffe Research Associate, Cultural Property Protection and Peace Secretary, UK Blue Shield Secretariat, Blue Shield International

Hmm.... White men gave us christianity and looted our artifacts.... I recently came across some photos on internet about the looted treasure that belong to Nigeria and how the benin empire tried to get the real Odia's mask back but we're refused by Christies.... The white claims the black never contributed to civilization yet they are holding on to our civilization before theirs came. |
