See as haters are hating, but who cares.

Haters will hate and potatoes will potate, so wail on

Hope bini come back to their sources oduduwa is our progenitor.

Did I read okuko?

Obaseki plan na to finish Edo before him tenure finish..

Akuko is what they turn to okhokoh.this bini people are too stubborn why they can't go back to their kinsmen in southwest.

Punch news wrongly spelt it, we call it ọkhọkhọ

Cambridge university has it as Okukor.
It was Okukor before the civil war, now it's okhokho. Thank God it's not Rokukor!

Now to Bini people, do you prefer your Oba hoards these artifacts in his Palace, or your Governor builds a museum for it so all Bini people can have access to see them?

Well all I know is in Edo state, the Oba is the law, so if Obaseki does not want to start flying at night without broom, ....

Just wondering ... what is the meaning of "Akuko" in Yoruba? In Igbo it means "story".

For the topic, if this chicken sculpture tagged "Ọkhọkhọ"does not show that Edo is Igbo, I wonder what else is left.

Akukọ =cock

tamdun:
Akukọ =cock

It is still neither here nor there because the punctuation under the "O" is purely Igbo.
And in Igbo it means "Chicken".

BTW can anyone please tell me how to produce the under letter punctuation here?
Somehow I haven't learnt that!

and the punctuation is purely Yoruba too and it means, exactly in Yoruba ROOSTER not hen or chicken but rooster (a male chicken), just as the returned sculpture shows

Okay o
Touche!

Okhokho

Akuko

Okuku

Nigeria we hail thee






Una no de sleep?

Instead of saying "stolen" they will say "looted".

Amazing as they got the 'intonation' in the spelling too... ;

Wetin concern 'yoruba' punctuation for Benin sculpture ni;

In Benin "Okhokho" generally means "Fowl/Chicken"... Okporu - means Cockerel; "Iyo-okho" means hen (asin mama fowl); and "ovibo-okho" naim be small chicks.

Hope Edo people won't see this as god? Stolen god return

You tell him what? Two olodos. Stolen art is the reason black people are dead last place.

told us lies that our god is evil and theirs is good. stole our spiritual gods and gave us the Bible which is their god. ever since then we've lost our purpose as humans, been confused and at war with each other till date. The mental slavery/Inferiority complex in which an average black person is suffering from is story for another day.

Early Africans especially Bini people were blessed with great craftsmanship
