The Oba of Benin, Ewuare II, today asked the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, to lend his voice to the call for the British empire to return all the ancient Benin artifacts that were taken by the British authorities in 1897.

Speaking at the parley the visiting British royal had with royal fathers this evening, the Benin monarch told Prince Charles that the repatriation of the artifacts would enable him establish Oba Palace Museum for the promotion of tourism in his kingdom.

“Suffice to say that Nigerians in general and Benin people in particular will be most delighted to have your royal highness throw his royal weight behind our efforts to have some of our ancient artifacts that were taken in 1897 from the Royal Court of Benin returned to Benin to establish Oba Palace Museum for the promotion of tourism in Benin City, Edo State.” he said

Other traditional rulers that attended the meeting were the Ooni of Ife, Enitan Ogunwusi; Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar; Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe; Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, and others.

No time to dey lick boot, like the lifeless one and his cohorts

Well Said Oba , May Your Kingdom Reign

That British empire should return your artifacts and the Religion of your ancestors, not the fake religion they used in colonizing and abducting your ancestors to serve as slaves in sugar & Banana plantations, in New world. "" when they came they told us to close ours eyes and pray, which we did, when we opened our eyes our lands where gone but they left us with their book called Bible "" keani materyu. 1823. This why I don't blame yahoo boys, if they defraud oyinbo slave masters, na return leg, naija dey play them.
