If they get returned back to Nigeria, they would be restolen and then find their way back to the homes of millionaires and billionaires in Europe instead of public museum.

It happened I think in the 1980s.

MasterJayJay:
How is God punishing them?

Your people are rushing to japa to where you want God to curse.

ElSudani:
The reason why the white people stole them.

Sannisege:
Obasanj’s real name is Matthew Onyejekwe

ElSudani:
Beautiful stuff.

OVB123:
It shall never be well with white men, they destroyed our city and left us with useless 'democracy' that breeded corruption in africa's society. God will punish them.

saddler:
The artworks are really mesmerizing to behold.

Just see how detailed they are.


Edo will be great again

Anytime killings occur in Benue,plateau or southern Kaduna , it's women that are always in the fore front,dealing with the issues,either through protest or media outreach.

The men are always quiet behind their women.

Are we seeing a practical case scenario of an emasculated group of men?

All the men do is gather to bury the victims.

What's the deal with men of these tribes?

Ife neighbouring to Benin? Smh. Dey play.

Instead of you to go and read very credible scholarly work like G.Akin Akinola’s ‘The Origin of the Eweka Dynasty of Benin: A Study in the Use and Abuse of Oral Traditions (1976).
https://www.jstor.org/stable/41971248 you are sharing BBCbitsize and another general link full of cut and paste that has not been peer-reviewed or published by professional historians who combine standard methodology and carbon dating to investigate claims and oral distortions of history like it was in case of Benin.

FreeStuffsNG:
Please stop arguing needlessly first. Go and read very credible sources , not one freely edited history on wikipedia page.

It's on wikipedia you will see people type funny claims just funny claims like how the Bini packed sand from Bini and dumped it in Lagos when there are several homogeniously Yoruba communities in between and account that there are 100% Yoruba people they met in Lagos.

But for the advent of internet, by now they would have continued with the inaccurate history that the Bini monarch never leaves Benin and with no sacred resting place for him in Ile Ife

FreeStuffsNG:
That @ bolded is incorrect and therefore false. Benin has no history that dates back to the 10th century. You may consult all the credible historical records to confirm, not 'tales by moonlight stories' by those who had tried in vain to review true historical facts o.

FG must sustain the effort to recover these precious works of arts o. Thank you for sharing OP.

Abuja residents are seeing the impact of this government. Some roads that were causing holdups needed about half kilometer road constructed to solve the problems.

The former minister left many of such roads half done with construction equipment littered everywhere but this government has been getting them done.

Street lights, traffic lights are working again.

Let them keep it up.

aspabay:
Useless mofos always ready to say bad about your country. Nigeria's navy control is so far highly commendable.

The action and surveillance has reduced theft and piracy on the gulf of Guinea.

No be me go lecture you with facts, Google is your friend.

Nigeria's Navy is doing very well

Nigeria is really not "under policed" with the proliferation of " security agencies" in multifarious forms in the landscape.

It is the absence of shared intelligence and outright working at cross purpose that creates the illusion of an understanding policed state.

There are several agencies with powers to arrest. Infact, the citizens also have a constitutional power to arrest criminals and handover to the police.

I want to believe that crimes and criminality seems to be on the ascendance because justice is not being swiftly dispensed with or seemed to be done in some cases.

Even if you increase the sheer number of personnel without an effective judicial system, we will only be recycling criminals back into the society more hardened.

For those tinkering with the idea of state police, remember it was so in the beginning. Then there was even the native police. All had to be scrapped for this unitary system because of their high handedness and were willing tools for politicians.

What do you think would have happened if some state governors had a police under their call in the last election? You guess is as good as mine.

The police as presently constituted needs to leverage on technology to act as a force multiplier.
CCTV cameras, drones, and automated alarm systems can effectively and efficiently do the work of a thousand police men.
