Obaseki should put the Oba in his place and even dethrone him of need be. How dare he challenge the decision of a popular elected state governor? No monarch can be bigger than an elected government. He needs to be shown who is in charge. 134 Likes 14 Shares |

The oba is perfectly right on this one Obaseki is probably creating his own private museum to earn him revenue when he leaves office And should indeed he leaves what then becomes of the artifacts left in the hands of private individuals who the next government may not be in terms with We know how private firms in deals with government later turn out to be the governor private property after leaving office It is right they go back to the only unmovable place that all binis can relate to The oba has put in place the palace trust obaseki should use that To think that's where they where even stolen from in the first place is not rocket science 126 Likes 5 Shares |

The state government needs to handle the issue with care. The Benin monarchy is an institution that predates any Edo state government. Obaseki (or any governor for that matter) will come and go, but the monarchy will outlive any governor. 92 Likes 6 Shares |

temitope27:you are just displaying gross ignorance In the binin tradition the place is distinct from the government the exact reason why governor can't select a new oba nor sack him The government can only co-ordinate tradition on the advice of the palace Artifacts stolen from the palace are more or less cultural attributes of the palace which holds trust of the culture of the bini people You are Yoruba where your kings are picked and sustained through government dice so i don't expect you to get it Government can only be doing private museum with it if the palace doesn't consider them to be too much of importance to them 54 Likes 7 Shares |

Re: Don’t Allow Obaseki Take Custody Of 1,130 Stolen Artefacts - Oba Of Benin To FG by DeFuturePresido: 8:32am On Jul 10, 2021 |
The crux of the disagreement is this: Who should rightfully take custody of these artefacts? To answer the question, let us take two approaches: 1. Who was the original owner of these artefacts, and who, today, physically embodies that person? 2. Who has the greatest capacity to preserve these artefacts for the greater good of the largest number of people and for posterity? Is it A. The Benin Royal Palace, B. A privately managed Museum Trust, C. The Edo State Government or D. The Federal Government of Nigeria? ANSWERS 1. The rightful original "owner" or custodian was Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi, who was deposed during the British "punitive expedition" of 9 - 17 Feb 1897, which was led by Rear-Admiral Harry Rawson, and which led to sacking of the Benin empire. The person that, today, physically embodies Oba Ovonramwen is (unequivocally) the current ruler of Benin Kingdom, Oba Eheneden Erediauwa Ewuare II. 2. The answer to who can best manage the artifacts, unfortunately, is not straight forward. Technically, it should be the Federal or State government. However, you only need to pay a visit to Federal and State museums, libraries, or monuments across the country to understand that good management and maintenance is not a strong point of government in these parts. That leaves us with The Royal Palace or The Private Trust. My inclination is to suggest a merger of the two options: A. The museum/cultural district should be built in the location chosen by the Oba of Benin. B. The museum/cultural district should be managed by the Private Trust. C. Oba Ewuare II should be made the Chairman of the Trust. D. The CEO of the Trust should be a thoroughly seasoned professional and should be chosen via a merit-based selection process. E. Members of the Trust Board should be drawn equally from nominees provided by the Benin Palace, the State Government, the Trust's Directors and the Federal Government. F. All decisions should be made via simple majority votes. I believe that this option will resolve the issue and provide the best solution. 187 Likes 15 Shares |

While the palace wants the artefacts kept in the Benin Royal Museum, which will be built within the palace, Public property I well think obaseki is right There should be no ownership to it by any means why build the museum inside the Palace what about public free acces. 16 Likes 5 Shares |

Hehehe. The oba's body language and utterances has always shown biased towards the Governor. This matter should be solved internally, not calling on federal government to interfere. Both oba and Mr Governor should find a way to address the issue without wahala.We need peace in Nigeria. 13 Likes 1 Share |

See casting of the little emperor called Obaseki, it will be for the state interest, if the artefacts are kept in the royal palace museum, for they will protect with their lifes, under like the governor that will sell it to the highest bidder. 6 Likes 1 Share |
