Myer: not really, it was their religious progenitor that was from Bini. Read the excerpt of Oba Of Bini when He visited the Ooni of Ife. the story is on Vanguard's website |

Those things are becoming worthless as the world attention is shifting to tech. They are returning those artefacts because they don't have need for them |

onumadu: Just because of okhokho you think Edo is igbo What if you compare the Igbo and Edo languages and see the very many similarities, what will you conclude? Every good student of history and culture understands its not out of the ordinary for tribes living close to share similar words even if they speak different languages. 3 Likes |

Mayflowa: With this mindset, we are near finished as a people. Overzealous youth killed European emissaries .. What was the business of European emissaries on African soil. Is it now a crime to turn down a nagging visitor in your own house? Where no emissary was killed by the natives, what prompted the Europeans to subvert the existing system for their selfish gains? It is obvious the Marauders and the civilized crooks were looking for opportunities to loot 5 Likes |

TripleOh7:Please do your overgrown self a favor and don’t mention me again without factoids of what they ‘stole’ from us, what race has not been stolen from? Everyone else has gotten over the bloody past and are competing to be the greatest race remembered. Black people are still talking of a time their parents didn’t see. Historic illiterates everywhere. |

Ọkụkọ is Igbo. So Benin also pronounce it as Ọkhọkhọ Interesting. |

tujays: So because Christianity came from the whites, that's why we Africans lost our purpose?? Did we have any purpose before? Christianity actually brought light to Africans and exposure too. We would have been worse than this if not for the white man and his religion. |

Qualer:do you know how many years they have kept that sculpture before oyibo stole it ? Sometimes you just have to think deep. This only shows that we would have been better off without their interference cos if we couldn't preserve our sculptures then they wouldn't have met anything to steal! |

TripleOh7:Whats amazing here is you claim to be old, yet you threw the first insult at my mom. Do you think being illiterate is an insult? How do you use words? Did you go to school? You cannot even tell that not being literate is not an insult, it just means a lack of education or ignorance about a particular subject but typical black man doesn’t understand words and feels he has been insulted so he has to respond by insulting my mom. Oga get down from your high horse, hide your dick, DO YOU KNOW ME or what I do for living? Did I call your family members in this? Old man with little sense, maturity is very far from you. Your new age obviously still dey shack you, you wan dey form mature online dey call everybody you see pikin. Go return your school fees because even a mentally challenged person is smarter than you. 2 Likes |

That is most likely a very good copy. The original is probably still somewhere in that cambridge school. They know Nigeria is a joke of a country that lacks the technology to carbon date the artifact. |
