I can afford to visit London or any museum in the world that the artworks are located.

But I can't afford to check them out when they are locked up in the private residences of European millionaires and billionaires.

Kushites:


And they proudly display them in their museums to say ''Yes, we stole them!'' With no shame. Sick people.

SuperOnyi:









Oh my God, I didn't know they looted this much; these ancient guys are 100% wiser than us. They did all these despite being almost cut off from the rest of the world or so we are told?

These are the same people some ignorant Nigerians say we're jumping from tree to tree and didn't do anything significant — dumdums! If this ancient guys had the same opportunity we've got today, they would be undefeatable. We should be ashamed of ourselves!

Even the sculptures tells a story and they want me to believe we had no history?!

Kushites:


What we have seen is a small number. They stole a lot that are not being displayed in the British museum, but are hidden in underground vaults in the museum, which is a huge edifice containing looted treasures from all over the world.

SuperOnyi:







They rather those masterpieces rot underground then bring it out so we can all study it and understand who we are? Damn!

The day I saw an ancient sword made by Igbos was the day I confirmed we know nothing about our own ancestors except what they want us to know.

Look at the swords on those sculptures and their dressing patterns, wow!

StaffofOrayan:
Check out the intricate designs and master workmanship of those works! Big kudos to the ancestors!

If u want to see senseless art, just visit a typical modern European museum,

Lady with a Fan
Gustav Klimt's final portrait, "Lady with a Fan," sold for a record-breaking $108.4 million.

Kushites:


Stop pretending that you care about the 'artworks'.

You're just I am here to play happy slave to whitey.

I am a Bodyguard.

Have you ever been in a museum, not to mention a Nigerian museum?

mandarin:
I see Benin/Owo, Ife, and one other in those arts.
These are sophisticated works.

opamoses1:

Yo Bandit. I fixed it for you.

Small pikin..

Kingray10:

They are proud about it.
Back home here it will be less valued.

Kushites:


Just because YOU are not ''proud about'' your history, identity, and culture, does not mean the majority of Nigerians are like you.

Stop projecting your character unto other Nigerians.

As we speak, there are numerous international campaigns by Nigerian groups, NGOs, private citizens, and the federal government to return the Benin Bronzes.

Nigerians visit museums here in Nigeria daily.

Not everyone is like you, who doesn't care.

A brand new museum is being built to house returned Nigerian treasures.

They belong here.

A brand new multimillion dollar museum is being built in Benin city to house returned Nigerian and West African treasures.

They belong here, not in London.

Kingray10:

In s much as I am trying to ingnor you, the more you are trying to finger my brain.
I am not in support of the loot of those items.
But truth be told they will generate more money over there, than when, they are here.

Kushites:


Generate more money for WHO?

For you?

Kai...who do una this thing?

I often wonder the jazz oyibo people used to make you people mumu wherever it concerns their matter.

Kingray10:

Thank God say the oyibo jazz no work.
U when wise go beat them take am.

Kushites:


The jazz clearly worked on you.

That's why you think your ancestors' treasures were built a thousand years ago in order to ''GENERATE MONEY'' for the British.

Mumu.
