The way the whites take dey covet African artifacts ehn,,, person go think say they're possessed



Don't be foolish!

He has not asked too much.
Did you see him in one of your African Studies classes?
Does he sound like DJ Cuppy to you?

It's a fact that his education failed him. Quote me anywhere. I'm not saying it's his fault. But our education is poo. simple. Know this and equip yourself. Education is not all about money. As we think here.
Meanwhile, I'm not even an art student, I've never attended any one African study class, but I know what culture, origin, history is to ones existence, place in the world, civilization and advancement.

They are priceless. And I'm curious about my culture, origin and history..so I read wide.
.
You people should educate yourself, Internet is everywhere, but all you all think about is money money money...and being stupid.

Jackie Chan's "Chinese Zodiac" comes to mind.

The countries who stole them know their benefits. These countries will generate huge revenue from tourists who will visit their museums and pay handsomely to see some works of arts from historical Africa. Unfortunately, after it's return to Nigeria, some officials may sneak out these stuffs and re-sell them back to Europe using black markets. There is nothing a black man cannot do.

Over here they will rot away in poorly managed museums. They wont be preserved and honestly no one cares. Black man no dey go museum. When I went to the British museum before this lockdown wahala the place was full to capacity. It was like a market but I was the only blackman in that building. Na chinese people full there. You will think you were in China

Stop it right there, the all-knowing!

As if the bolded would pay his bills,,,mtcheww

wetin be dis? abeg make dem carry there tin back, bring better tin jor

NiRfreak:

If you are a graduate and still asked this question, know that your education has failed you completely. It's benefit it's more than it's economic or monetary value...It's way way more than economic benefit.
...
...It's like asking what the economic value of Micheal Angelo's painting, Leonardo davinci art work or the sculpture of Bhuda in India.
.
They are priceless, ageless, culture, history, origin, identity, power, knowledge, pride, religion, civilization, proof of superior artistic IQ, humanity and many more.
.
You should ask why they were stolen in the first place.

Dont be quick to insult him. He spoke the minds of most Niggerians. The only thing they see of value is money or anything that can be sold to make money. Even the minister posing there doesnt give a rat's ass about that artifact. The only reason Niggerians are crying about these lost treasures is because
1. they see how valuable it is to oyinbos and
2. Some oyinbos actually questioned why it was stolen and advocated for the return

O yi ya werey....That's how people like you despise your root, insult your history and ancestor because u are all illiterate and Oyinbo won't come and educate you all.
Some of you idiots call it jazz or fetish...but Oyinbo stole everything and kept it in his museum for hundreds of years. A people without her history are nothing in the grand scheme of things. That's why Africa is nothing today...
.
The European kept it's history, teach it to her children, distort African history, stole every evidence of civilization, and you are here asking a foolish question about the economic benefit. You are lost Oga.

It's painful actually, it's like a slave not having a clue or historical knowledge that's he's still a slave cos his identity has long being eroded, yet taking pride in his shackles and cursing or denying his root.
Yet we have school that's suppose to address this. It's a fact our school is rubbish and has failed the majority of us. The reason we should all think more inwardly about starting afresh, correct our past idiocy and not fail the future generations

Okay.. let me make it easier for you to understand... Gold, Silver and Bronze

Oga na you sabi that one.

lilvicky68:

Is it useful to you?

You no jus get sense at all! I no blame you. Lack of exposure na im dey worry you. People wey know the importance and value of dat tin know wetin to do with am. So just keep quiet or google “the importance of ancient artifacts” before you come online dey disgrace yoursef.

The gods wanted to go to the white man's land and learn their knowledge.. Now he is back to his people after many generations as written in the book of prophecy, of the ancient Ifa.

Hope it is not the prototype one the Mexicans returned to Nigeria?

The schools sef ask when last they actively reviewed their curriculumn to reflect these issues. It is still tailored to the white people's spec. A man who doesnt know his identity is lost and sadly its becauee they dont even appreciate their culture that is why we have the kind of issues we have in that country.

They tell you that you are less intelligent than they.


Yet, all that they are were stolen from what you were.

lilvicky68:
This is looking more like problem than art work...una for leave am for Mexico..

Lol what a thing to say

I know we have to recover our stolen artifacts but this one doesn't worth it.

They shouldn't bother for this poor work of art, considering the resources governments expend on things like this.

This is the one they can collect, what is the value of this?

Why not get he gold plated ones?

Europeans Should Bring Back Stolen African Artefacts.

Be proud of your ancestors.

what a brilliant response by u.

Tourism and cultural value. Crowdpull from admirers. There's also the prestige of being the descendants/custodians of a glorious past/heritage that goes into perceptions of how ppl view a country and its people.

Lastly, it is someone's cultural heritage that was stolen. Morally, it should be back with its owners.
