Very illiterate souls. Why destroy things that are a significant part of our history? Why adopt and promote a foreigner's culture whilst ignoring and degrading yours?

These days I feel uncomfortable speaking in English..and it is my hope that one day we will stop writing or teaching in English as well

Than you will speak in tongues.

I'm ashamed of that priest preserving idol instead converting people to the kingdom of God, can that priest place that idol in the house of or his home. All that belong to Satan not for Child of God, some persons prefer their idolatry tradition than God Almighty. Those persons supporting the priest, did any of you have the Jesus Christ movie, ur pastor sermon or Christian movies and biblical film. You can't serve Almighty God and idol at the same time. Be wise little thing can stain ur white garment.

we'll start speaking mandarin or Russian maybe, depending on who the global economic and military power is in those days. Reality is reality bro.

Modified: but I agree that those artifacts should be kept in a museum and not just burned like that.

Not necessarily... Otherwise the entire world will be speaking English by now. Some countries don't understand the English language and yet they still function optimally. Why's that?

Catholics are your problems. Some people like you just too bittered and senseless too because you have failed to recognize history. Go and tell countries to stop making coat of arms and flags. All these Pentecostals that lack sense of reasoning always coming to display ignorance publicly.

Nice one. We must preserve our culture/religion which has been demonized for hundreds of years by people who then imported and imposed their religion on Africans. I'm proud of the work the priest is doing and I hope well meaning lovers of Igbo culture can contribute to this work. A better museum needs to be built to showcase our Igbo heritage.

It is still some of you that would be shouting repatriation tomorrow if it had been white people taking these artifacts to Europe. Some people go to school but still lack sense. He doesn't need to hide from practicing any religion he so desire since it has not be criminalized in Nigeria. Freedom of religion and worship is still enshrined in the CONSTITUTION of the country. Very stupid and senseless people talking about Catholicism that they know nothing about.

Go and read your Bible very well.
Did Solomon burned the winged creatures he made when building the temple?
Did Moses burned the bronze serpent he made in the wilderness?
