Obaseki just ugly and stubborn anyhow...


He should know the battles he should let-go

To be fair, I think the obaseki idea would have been the best.

He wanted to create a museum to display these beautiful arts to generate revenue for the state.

The oba wanted it in his palace where it would be probably be under restrictions, and all revenues will go to him alone.

Lai Muhammed will probably put it in his office, because I don't know if there is any federal museum in place.

Afam4eva:
I really don't understand why people are sentimental and bias about this issue.

It makes more sense for the Edo state Government to keep it since where the bronzes were taken are now under their jurisdiction.

The reason it should not be handed over to the Oba of Benin is because the traditional system has no recognized role under the constitution and there are no checks and balances to check the excesses of the traditional body. For instance, what stops the present Oba from keeping those bronzes as his personal property if handed over to him.

Gbam!

FG tactically supporting Oba of Benin

Oba of Benin should take federal government to court.

It is theft to be honest.

That property does not belong to the Federal govt.

Why ? Oba want FG to keep it

Juliusmalema:
Lai mohammed should return the facts or artefacts to obaseki

Obaseki kee u dere

I need to get my VISA before Nigeria government lay possession over my belongings

Are they trying to loot it again because I don't understand this kind of fight

The artifacts belong to the sovereign in the land, which is currently the Federal Government.

Yes, they were taken from Benin Kingdom, but that kingdom has long ceased to be sovereign, and so it falls to FG to own these artifacts.

If Benin wants to collect, it should become its own kingdom again, independent from Nigeria.

As for the state of Edo, it has no say in the matter.

Lai Muhammed really enjoys being a minister.

You can see the way he talks with arrogance because he is welding the powers of the FG Which has placed him far above his natural station.

This guy will miss being relevant when he leaves in 2023.

Does the Federal govt have the right to take your money in the bank at any time?

The Federal Government will take possession of it and put in Emir of Daura's palace , abo?

I don't want to read any news that comes from these useless man, lie Muhammed

The real and original owners are Igbo People.

The ancestors that made these bronze artifacts were the same people that made the ones in Egypt. And these ancestors were Igbo. Return it back to the original owners. The Igbo People[/quote]

Biko, which belongings are we talking about here?

The Oba of Bini village must not allow Obaseki touch those Yoruba artefacts.

What is all this talk about Obaseki or the Oba getting the artifacts? This issue has a straight forward solution

Firstly, the artifacts belongs to the bini's and not the Oba. However, since this are matters of traditional arts the Oba should be the custodian. Again, if we are talking about displaying over 1000 pieces of art work, then the governor should have an input on where best to display them

Finally, I think the proper sequence is for the FG to handover the works to its native state, Edo while the governor in turn hand it over to the Oba

seunmsg:
The artifacts should be returned to the Benin Royal palace. If not, FG should have them. On no condition should they be given to the state government.

That is right thing to do oo since it was stolen from that same palace. Government should just remove their hands from this.

That Obaseki is too troublesome for my liking.

was it not the ọba personal property before it was stolen. If the fg want to take control of it, then they should build a museum at the ọba Palace and set up joint management of the museum with the oba. Meseum are creation of law so it operations would be bounded by law.

Is the National Museums in Lagos and Abuja runned by private firms or the state govt?

You are taking delivery of replicas and you are still fighting yourselves over it.

NOC1:
lol, they played Obaseki Oba asked FG to do this. Obaseki should not allow this kinda things make mess of him. He should be careful.

The Anenih’s, Omorogbe’s and other royal houses are not friends to the Obaseki’s so he should watch his back

Please which Anenih's and omorogbe's are you talking about

Hmm
