The Mexican government delivered to Nigeria on Tuesday an ancient bronze sculpture seized by customs agents at Mexico City airport as its buyer tried to bring it into this country. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2020/02/mexico-returns-ancient-sculpture-to-nigeria/amp/ 19 Likes 6 Shares

Clearly looks Yoruba. But there is something fishy about this.. I am not aware of any 6th century collection of Ife art works. It is much more likely to be a 16th century stuff that a sixth century work. Also bronze work came much later. Around the 6th century, it would have been brass sculpture 69 Likes 5 Shares |

I've never read of anytime an artifact was returned or asked to be returned to the South East. Our white exploiters through the ages couldn't find anything worth stealing there. 124 Likes 6 Shares |

I'm sure this is not Ori olokun, the bronze head on Obafemi Awolowo University. The real ori-olokun is somewhere in the UK museum and only a few lover of sculptures have set their eyes on it. One of those few is the Nobel Laurette, Prof. Wole Soyinka. 16 Likes 2 Shares |
