Vultron101: So you mean we never had any means of education?.. We had a way of telling time and season, we had a way of counting, we had a diversed language system. etc Nigeria and Africa in general was never in a backward state, the progress was no doubt slow but never stagnant Financial aid? They replaced our means of exchange with theirs, took over our natural resources and imposed leaders( with the help of the bastards who betrayed us) on us to threat us like slaves 5 Likes |

Something is really going on The return of these things doesn't make sense The white man doesn't give up what is looted. But I know the bible said religious Babylon will arise There is more to this than meets the eyes |

tujays: This is stupid.. they stole ur gods? Then ur god doesn't deserve any service as a "god" When u should be happy u were liberated from darkness to light u dey here dey cap dust. They thought they were destroying us because they themselves hardly believe in the almighty God. So they saw it as power to enslave our minds not knowing they were actually doing otherwise. Just like Joseph's bro's thought they were sending him to die a slave but not knowing it's God's plan. |

Atiwaye: It's okhokho. Your tribe probably corrupted the name. The funny thing is some tthings are pronounced in Nigeria tribes and and foreign nations. Languages are related. Same grammar, structure, diction, phonetics, and appreciation. I have seen my Edo proverbs said in English by westerners! People just think alike. Well we have same blood, flesh and brain 4 Likes |

FvckAllMods: You need to understand why this loot happened. Some overzealous edo youths killed emissaries from England. It was a thoughtless and needless massacre because Oba would not receive any visitor during Igue celebrations! One of them managed to escape. At the time, edo people though jazz and juju will save and fight for them. They believed they were invincible until they saw gun fire and bombs. Wait! Wouldn't you have avenge your countrymen dead? 1 Like |

Cursesd people! I do'nt the civilization they gloated about. Civilization of looting and exploitation. God punish the forebears of the Europeans (and our forebears who colluded with them) who came to rape Africa and halt her formation 2 Likes |

Guide777: I like your crass analogy. However, Igbo people does not know anything about Bronze Casting. Only Clay and Wood carving. To this day, there's a street in Benin(Igun) that specializes in Bronze work. It's a known occupation of the Binis for Centuries. Just as the ijaws are fishermen, fulanis cattle rearers aka herdsmen. 4 Likes 1 Share |

onumadu:You guys sha like to misinform others, we pronounce differently while you know our language are different. The artefact is simply a sculpted rooster. The yoruba's call it Akuko, while the Edo's call it Okpa, Hausa's call it zakara, while the Igbo's call it Okpa too, Same with other languages etc. Simple The crux of the matter is that the name of the sculpture is Okhokho 4 Likes |
