They are about to return something that we own, but they value it more than we do. Why not keep those art works and give us 50% of the money you make from them and keep 50%?

Are the artefacts yours? who's WE?

Exactly 124 years ago they dealt with my forefathers, now they want to return artifacts... Can they return or pay for the devastating effect of their actions in the Benin kingdom? Its just pathetic that no formal apology has even come from any of these countries till date and they still exploit africans. Africans sef don't mind being exploited because poverty has been used to make them pliable to whatever they want, and this poverty is still caused by the same blacks because you want to wield power. Shameful. I'm a proud black, proud benin, proud nigerian and proud african but I'm ashamed of the bad that goes on here I swear.

Also, return all the revenue you guys have gotten from it since you took it.

Even if they return all the money do u have a share in it.

So they increased what they wanted to return from 1300 to 7000, they should have hold on to it now. The flooding they experienced would have been child's play to what is coming. Dumb inferiority complex clowns are already saying they should keep it, some of you are damaged beyond repair, they know what time it is and why they are returning it. The British, French and the rest will also start massively returning.

Aduda also said the reparation of the artefacts would go with building an ultramodern museum in Edo State and the training of some curators to man the artefacts.

That shows a country that has somewhat a "Conscience" unlike the British that are very ruthless with no conscience. Britain has more stolen artifacts from Africa than any other country on earth and yet they have no plans to return them to their rightful owners.
The return has nothing to do with conscience, this is the age of Aquarius and you either return what you stole or get obliterated.

Now I believe that our African ancestors are not dull. For Germany to have stolen more than 7000 Artifacts from the ancient Benin kingdom shows that we already have our civilization and technology to create such novel artifacts.

Yes, our ancestors weren't dull at all, rather it's we Africans of today that are dull because we have been deceived by white people.

If you remove stolen artefacts from European museums, their museums would be empty because they built nothing themselves. And we're not talking about the major thieves Britain!!. If Germany stole 7,000 it means Britain would've stolen millions. But you'll never hear a word about it. They've trained people who should talk to be docile instead.

Europeans weren't better than us when they arrived Africa, except that they already mastered the art of war and had better guns. But we were better than them in other ways. If our energies were invested in warfare, we would've fought them off and continue to rule the world.

Nothing on this earth was invented by white people before the 14th century, except killing machines. Indeed, they do have the museum of killing machines in Prague, Czech republic.

Go to www.africason.com and read the article that says; why Europeans were able to conquer Africa and the rest of the world.

Germany is the only major Western Country that has made a conscious decision to disengage from her colonial past/history and genuinely chart a new course. They have gone as far as building the biggest economy in Europe without turning the looting of African economies into a national sport like the British and the French. Who knew we had over 7000 artifacts there? They will even build a new museum to help... The British are arrogantly holding on to their loot.. likewise the French.. Those two are directly responsible for the mess that's Africa today..

where are the ones they didn’t take.. Nigeria should pay them for preserving these artifacts for this long else our over zealous pastors would have burnt them after pouring olive oil…

So some Nigerians now worship money so much, they’re willing to sell their heritage for money? shocked
