smile11s: You must be joking right? So they should return the pyramids and mummies in Egypt to the Igbos too? |

royal231: Yes, just the way the pyramids were brought to Egypt by other tribes. You are the perfect example of the many disadvantages of taking out history lessons from the curriculum of Nigerian schools 2 Likes 1 Share |

slivertongue: Do you know why politicians run to traditional rulers when its election time. Let Obaseki try any rubbish with the Oba of Benin and see what Benin people would do to him. He is a Bini man sef, so he already knows his boundaries. |

How can these uncultured bastards want to take charge of highly revered artefacts of the benin kingdom? They will sell to the highest bidders like Dangote or give it to their isis wing to destroy. |

Afam4eva:And you think Obaseki cannot keep it as its personal property. This is very simple, state government should concentrate on his role in fulfilling his mandate. Keeping artefacts isn't one of them, let the traditional leaders handle their forefathers 1 Like |

Charmingrascal: Those artefacts are better off in European museums. At least, we get royalties annually for them. But in Nigeria, we need well maintained museums to keep these artefacts intact. Neither the FG, Obaseki nor the Oba of Benin appear prepared for this job. They just want the artefacts back. No one is talking about the cost of maintaining them or the availability of art lovers who would be willing to see these artefacts. |

what royalties ?? these na protocol. benin museum go keep them. edo too need income BluntTheApostle: |

frog12: Do you know how much it costs to preserve a single artefact? About 750 dollars per 3-dimensional object every 6 hours. And there are hundreds of those artefacts. We don't even have preservation materials, which means we would be importing them. It also costs money to store them. Although not much money; around 30 dollars a year. Where will the Oba get all that money? From the state government which struggles to make something out of limited allocations, or the FG which is battling inflation and post-recession challenges? Bring those artefacts to Nigeria, and watch them disintegrate or lose their gloss in a year. |

We all know the owner of the artifacts and where it was stolen from. It should be returned to the rightful owner, which is the palace of Oba of Benin. Irresponsible govt trying to play a fast one. Which jurisdiction? The Oba of Benin should head to court. The items doesn't belong to Nigeria that does not value history. It belong to the Benin people, and this is represented by the Oba of Benin. 2 Likes 1 Share |

BluntTheApostle: See this one! Maintain what artifacts? Like they dropped from Mars. Where they not held at the same Oba of Benin palace for hundreds of years before they were stolen. It's bronze, not some wooden item that will be eaten by termites. If the Benin people did not take care of them before they were stolen, how would they have been stolen in the first place. Are people reasoning at all? 2 Likes 1 Share |

tell us more. what's needed to preserve them. good air ventilation or air-conditioned room. dusting them. we can employ specialists in these area. stop being a colonist and think of doing work yourself ! the oba no get the money. him and him family are all living on government allowance and then they can travel everywhere in the world. the rightful place is a museum constructed and maintained by the state. the oba should be proud to be a trustee.

Afam4eva: God help my people to reason. Where were the artifacts stolen from by the British? Largely from the palace of the Oba of Benin. So, the items are simply returning home to the rightful owner. And what constitution are you referring to? That fraudulent document that only the northerners want. 1 Like |

frog12: Sad, they did not teach you history in high school in Nigeria. History has it that in the ancient Benin, the royal palace had multiple bronze arts makers that create those objects as way to keep records of events and incidents that involve the king or palace. They were made for the pleasure of the kings then. So, they belong to the palace, and largely to Benin people. Not Nigeria. 1 Like |

CSTRR:Those artefacts were never meant for generation of revenue from the public by those who made them in the first instance. They were carved for use in traditional rites in certain cultural practices which the people still do till today and that is why Obaseki, as a Bini man aware of the culture, initially, and as far back as June 2019, agreed with the Oba without any argument that the artefacts would go straight to Benin Royal Museum. So why is he now changing tune? 2 Likes |
