LieutGen: When Britain stole the items, they sold some to individuals and kept some as official collection. It's the individuals that are returning theirs. The British government itself aren't interested in returning any. In fact, their queen was saying few years ago that there was nothing wrong stealing the items because according to her "everybody was doing it". So that's how she justified theft till today. They probably still have more than 500,000 stolen stolen artefacts in Britain now. Still, as some people have pointed out, there's a good chance those artefacts are fake copies. Because 3D technology has advanced to the point you can make a copy of anything and nobody would differenciate between the original copy and the fake. If you have data just go to YouTube and search "3D printing" and you'll how anything can be printed. Someone even printed an exact copy of another house!! 2 Likes 1 Share |

DeepSight:They just can't comprehend, they just feel entitled to have their say on what doesn't concern them. All I can tell this outsiders is to mind their own business. But they want to argue that Benin business is their business and somehow they love us more than we live ourselves...419 is a culture in Nigeria. Schools need to start teaching Nigerians how to mind their respective businesses. |

thomasjoe: War they started by themselves. When did theives start to return what was stolen and sold They didn't only steal from Benin but from allover Africa. They used to associate the artifacts with idol worshipping. What makes it different now? |
Re: Oba Of Benin Receives Bronze Head & Cockerel Returned From The UK by Nobody: 8:29pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
chaloskyx:I don't know, perhaps because we are not conspiracy theorists who wish evil upon the Edo people and we recognise world bodies like those which handled the artefacts. |

brain54:You guys come here and mind our business and say offensive things which you don't understand, yet you expect civility ? I was even being extremely civil ! You need to stop your provocations instead of expecting a "good and nice response" to your provocations, that is how you get punched in the face. |

sotall: In their context they said it was bad and taught us that concept. But they still kept it with them when it meant "bad", that says alot. We didn't see it as idol worshipping. History, culture, knowledge, etc is embedded in those artifacts. They were aware of it's symbolisms and importance and so they were deliberate in stealing them at that time. |

obanioluorun: 1)You still don't know how to quote properly, this shows your lack of intelligence 2) I repeat, Ife was a small village untill 1912 when the British started urbanising it. I am not saying this as an insult, this is on record. It is a proven fact. 3) every story of people migrating from Ife is a myth created to elevate the status of the Oni of Ife. 4) no head of any Oba of Benin was buried in Ife and no bronze was sent to Benin from Ife. Benin royal court had its own guild which the British interrupted and which was later revived by Oba Eweka II. 5)Benin emperors were buried in the palace except for Oba Ovonramwen who was buried in Calabar. 6) The thing with you guys yoruba is that you believe you know us better than we know ourselves, your entire self-worth revolves around claims about us. Quite basically you are historical parasites. Look how you guys are flocking here out of jealousy and trying to claim Benin heritage and also promote Ife myths on this topic which has nothing to do with you. 1 Like |
