What do Fulanis know about artifacts?

They should hand it over to the Ooni of Ife ASAP.

If you ask me, I will say "Leave them in Germany".

The State Government can sign bilateral agreement with the museum in Germany and get a certain percentage (70%) from the proceeds of exhibition. Why? Because Nigerians do not place values on anything. The looted Bronze will be placed where it will be left unkept and yield no income for the people/government of Edo State. Our maintenance culture is inexistent. In all, lose:lose for every party involved. One day Oba's palace go burn and the artifacts will go with the inferno.

This is why I like Ganduje, sharp sharp he would break that kingdom and form different Emirates under it, then send you on exile.

Imagine where the state wants sth, where u a traditional institution was interfering the FG takes over it.

I really don't understand why people are sentimental and bias about this issue.

It makes more sense for the Edo state Government to keep it since where the bronzes were taken are now under their jurisdiction.

The reason it should not be handed over to the Oba of Benin is because the traditional system has no recognized role under the constitution and there are no checks and balances to check the excesses of the traditional body. For instance, what stops the present Oba from keeping those bronzes as his personal property if handed over to him.

Those bronze are the personal property of the Omo n' oba. They were never for the Edo people. The bronze were stolen from the palace and it should be returned there. Whatever the oba decides to do with it is his business. Obaseki actually intends to convert it to his personal property. Please get the full details before commenting next time.

This is why I said that most southern Nigerian people are illiterate. You have a governor and a traditional ruler surrendering their rights to the fulanis. Now the bronze statue is now a property of the fulani caliphate in Abuja. Southern Nigerians believe they are clever but they are bloody illiterate. First we surrendered are oil to them we surrendered land to them now we are taking our artefacts from the white people and giving the fulanis.

As I told a friend of mine, a bini son, what Edos should have done was the following :

1) sign an Mou with the German government to pay a fraction of all the monies that accrued to the particular musuems during the period those artifacts were in their possession

2) Keep the artifacts in Germany and continue to pay a fraction of revenues to Edo

It is obvious the artefacts are more lucrative in european nations

To be fair, I think the obaseki idea would have been the best.

He wanted to create a museum to display these beautiful arts to generate revenue for the state.

The oba wanted it in his palace where it would be probably be under restrictions, and all revenues will go to him alone.

Lai Muhammed will probably put it in his office, because I don't know if there is any federal museum in place.

Or Islamic fundamentalists in government will destroy them.

I dont even understand the whole rubbish going on.
The artefacts were stolen from the palace of oba of benin, then repartriate it to where u stole it from naa, that's oba of benin's palace.
There was no nigeria when the artefacts were stolen, so why is FG now saying that they are going to take custody of it.
Obaseki saying edo govt will keep it is talking nonsense.
When the artefacts were stolen from obaof benin's palace, some parts of present delta state (itshekiri and agbor) were parts of the kingdom. Akure in present day ondo state was part of the kingdom too.
Why is blackman like this?
