I'm not blaming the British for current problem , they were the foundation of our problem if I recall angry forcing unity over a hundred tribes that are not suppose to be together , if you read about sex slave and black history you will surely hate the whites more .... Mind you I'm not blaming them for our current problem we bought this on ourselves

All that stuff is just going to get stolen all over again and sold back to foreign art collectors, unless they hand it all over to the Oba of Benin directly.
its clear you have not been following this events.
May God bless my president.
For those of you that accused Buhari of travelling, this is the benefit of his travelling and signing of memorandum of understanding.

This is the museum in question.

Word of advice - if you want to see these artifacts together then book a flight to London and visit this museum. They'll be 'lost', under 'repair', or 'loaned' within as they get to Nigeria. I wonder how many of the original 36 will be on display? Single figures?

Rubbish. They would all root here in Nigeria. They are better valued in those UK museum where people would pay and traffic to see as well as proper maintenance.
Re: London Museum To Return 72 Artifacts To Nigeria. by Nobody: 7:58pm On Aug 08, 2022
I see that once again, Benin matter has become "every Nigerian matter". Will you guys just shut up ?
Let us breath for god's sake ! As an Edo, I am happy that my ancestral heritage is returning to the imperial palace.
People whom are not of Edo ethnicity should mind their business ! Don't you guys have your own ancestral heritage ? Only the people of Benin empire are concerned here !
Re: London Museum To Return 72 Artifacts To Nigeria. by Nobody: 8:00pm On Aug 08, 2022
Those whom are not of Edo ethnicity, just say "congrats to Benin empire" and then walk away and mind your goddamn business.

p.s I am only teaching you guys how to act like decent human beings.

If Nigera has smart technocrat as a president, London should be sued to ICJ for stealing our local arts. Returning them when they no onger yield money.

By "our local arts" do you mean Benin bronzes ?
Because all of you just keep talking as if there are other artefacts than those of Benin.
Also, you guys are so focused on "earning money", you can't get it at all, these are the ancestral heritage of the Edo people of Benin empire, we want them back to the palace on that basis, not for "money generation".
Imagine the craft of your great great grand father which was stolen being returned to you after generations tried to get them back.
By the way, they are not being returned "for no longer yielding money", they are being returned by individual museums who want to do the right thing, the British museum is yet to return its collection of Benin bronzes which is the largest in the world.

But its useless in Nigeria na. No one is travelling to benin palace to go look at them
1) that is just your uneducated opinion
2) the purpose of these artefacts is not "for people to travel to look at them".
3) you guys with no ancestral heritage, you will never understand, so just mind your own business.

Artifacts?

Are they really artifacts in the real sense?

No!

wink2015:


Your crediting the success to Chimamanda Adichie is not completely true.

The Edo state government in colloboration with stakeholder at the federal level had been at the forefront of demanding this artworks right from the 1980s.

Pressure from many stakeholders holders in Nigeria cave in and it resulted in the european government holding this artfact to conclude that it was best for their national image and reputation to return the artworks or artifacts.

Chimamanda Adichie only came in lately to add her voice following her growing personality and the recognition of her works in the literature. by the european countries.

However, she should be thanked for her effort without much exaggeration that she is the principal persons behind the return of the artifacts.
I agree with you 100%. I was just marvelled that few days after that speech, plans are already being put in place to return those artifacts.
