The antique dealer has refused to hand the bronze head back to Nigerian officials insisting on being paid for a certain amount of money but Nigeria insists that it will not pay for what is originally hers.

Despite the countless jujus in all the traditional palaces in Nigeria, the white men just came and ransacked the palaces and in some cases burnt down the palaces without the jujus doing anything embarassed. But if Nigerians should do the same thing, then you will see the real powers of these jujus cheesy cheesy grin. Just imagine a situation where somebody who is in possession of a stolen property that the jujus were supposed to be protecting is requesting for the worshippers of such jujus to come and pay some money before he releases such property to them shocked, It seems the powers of these jujus work only locally. undecided
Basically, Africans have these gods, but don't know right channels to communicate with them, the western world is more inclined on better ways to communicate with them.

your comment showed how stupid and ignorant you are, you just opened that trap you call mouth even without understanding the issue of discuss. I never called art juju in my statement. I called it "STOLEN PROPERTY" that the jujus were supposed to protect". Your level of ignorance
and stupidity is unprecedented.
See this fool.
Mouth? I didn't know I type with my mouth grin cheesy

When you have stupidity in your useless dna I don't expect anything more.
Art is juju cheesy cheesy what a slowpoke

That's history according to the white man.... ur a lost cause....
Dont be quick to judge harshly. During my undergrad days I did some research for some scholars on the relatio ship between traditional leaders and the colonialists. There were letters that aligns with what he is saying. If you go to Arewa house in Kaduna there is a letter from one traditional leader to the white man saying if the colonialists wanted him to stop calturing and selling slaves they will have to pay him as well as provide him weapons.... something like 2 cannons among other stuff. No be today we begin sell our own.
My own is I can forgive our ancestors becaue rhey didnt understand the white man and his ways. Now nko. With all the exposure it's still sad to see Niggerians selli g out their own for a handshake or a selfie. At least in those days they exchanged artifacts for weapons and goods.

The picture of an Ifẹ masterpiece of bronze sculpture (The Head of Ifẹ) shown on page 1 is not the stolen Ifẹ piece in question.
