How can it attract tourists into Edo and Nigeria as a whole and serve as revenue generation for the federal republic?

So my ancestral heritage is supposed to generate money for you ?
What kind of thief are you ? please go and locate your own ancestral heritage and mind your own business, keep your lecturing for your own ancestral heritage (I know, you have none). Anyways mind your business.

Nigerians are a strange set of people, they like to mind other people's business. These guys laugh at us when we have problems, but when we have treasures, out of a sudden they want a share and we should see them as our brothers, Edo matters are suddenly everybody's matters... Guys, these artefacts are not going to be monetized. And start minding your business, you won't be getting rich out of our artefacts, just forget it. Our treasures are returning, you can join us to celebrate, or you can just shut up and let us be.

Okuko igbo for that matter..

Archworld:
It's a beautiful feeling but I think the whites would value it more than us. In fact they were the ones that even made us to know such thing exist because they took care of it over the years. Whites attach values to many things . The ones that were not stolen by the whites , where are they today? I guess dust has finished them . Africa lack maintenance culture . We only begin to value things when they are stolen

. good Points ! They should have collected the 2 Million Pounds and leave it for those that Value it and would keep it well ,Don't be surprised since they know the Value ,They might still strike a Deal

Coldie:

His point is, Britain took some, what about the ones Britain didn’t take why are they not in museum. Where are they right now? If not for them this present one somebody go don burn am say na witch or they would have thrown it away as trash a long time ago

But the people have been keeping and preserving the artefacts for hundreds and thousands of years before British arrived to plaunder and destroy the ancient kingdom. That was where the confusion started.

So without British interference the artefacts will be safe and intact.

Many of them suffer identity crisis without knowing. As I type this they are probably sitting somewhere listening to a charlatan teaching them about how to worship some Greco-Roman creation.

How will someone who have no idea how capitalism has made just about everything about profit making understand when we simply want to keep our treasures. I mean isn't that what you do with treasures - keep them?

you are very correct. I hope we can still see these in this shining form in 5-10 years

If anybody thinks that the pink people would return the original artifact then you must have been born yesterday

Trust them at your own peril

Like someone said earlier, you are petty , know this for sure that there are other heritage sites way better than yours, the Egyptian pyramids and it's infamous arts, paintings and sculptures attract alot of people into Egypt and it's one of the best places you can find ancient relics. They also have a plethora of documentaries to educate and enlighten people about this artwork and it's preservation. What if the Egyptians decided to hide their heritage and said no single soul should even get to know about it because it theirs forever. Do you think you will even hear of the Pyramids of Giza? Dey continue to hoard your own ehnn make sure you even secure them with armed Bini kingdom warriors so as to kill anyone who gets too close
There are also many sites of ancient civilization in Nigeria like Nok culture, Ife civilization, Igbo Ukwu, etc, so stop feeling too important. Thank you and au revoir

Bronze wey we don watch taya for UK ��

Archworld:


I thought I was talking to a learned person . I am not a man of stup*d argument. If you can't reason with facts , you don't worth my reply at all. Learn to be logical . Humans are higher than animals because they can reason . Use your sense in argument . Bye

I'm from edo. Dont mind that idiot, he's just like most benin people I know, they can argue blindly especially when it comes to their tradition. They fail to reason because of too much sentiments.

Aaaah, this is a calamity Ooh not a welcome development oooh because we have many millions demons here in Nigeria rite now, u guys decided to collect chicken demon bck kum join wahala wey dey ground, se no be finisay be dis now.

Blabla, my ancestral heritage will not fill your pockets, period. Now mind your business.

Fvck off, we Edos are not your father, go and locate your own ancestral heritage. Mind your business. Is this too hard to do ?

Just shut up, you guys should mind your business ok. Every Nigerian retard like you now feels entitled to speak about Benin treasures. You in particular, you belong in a mental asylum.

Actually the essence of cultural artifacts of any kingdom is not for it to be displayed in order to generate money. That was the idea of the whites.

Benoxvals:


Okuko igbo for that matter..

Ah, so my Benin ancestral heritage is actually Igbo ?
Or maybe, some Igbo person in Britain told the curators that the name was "okuko" and the curator believed him ...
It is as if you guys believe "okuko" was written on the bronze ! You do realize we didn't have a written language, right ?

Also, this exposes you people stupid belief that language similarity implies common ancestry.
This exposes you people's everlasting claims of lands and ethnicities outside the south-east. You guys are thieves.

Keep acting like a child. You can’t even verify the authenticity of what was returned to you. Old fool.

You are definitely not an Edo, you don't even know that Edo is the name of our people, not the name of a land, what you mean to say is that you live in Edo-state.
But since you hate us so much, why don't you relocate and go to a place outside of the south-south. You are not one of us, you hate us, yet you live on our land, get the fvck out !

What is your business in all of this ?
Mind your goddamn business!
Locate your own ancestral heritage. And do with your ancestral heritage, what you want.
Our Benin heritage is not your concern !
Your jealousy is just too much !

Make ogun strike you dead if you contribute to topics that are not Edo related on this platform or any platform for that matter

The amount of jealousy and outpour of hatred and ill wishes and patronising from many non-Edo people only stands to illustrate that the black race has a problem. These guys are unable to rejoice for something good happening to other black people, they are always eager to laugh and rejoice when they see other black people suffer, but when they see other black people smile and celebrate and happy, they just can't stand it. They believe they must share our good fortunes but when we are down, they are the first to laugh at us and insult us. Guys, mind your business. Too many black psychopath wishing other blacks mayhem (for being black) and worshipping white people.

Demainman1:

Shut up, jealousy is already striking you dead. I am not interested in things which do not concern my Edo people of Benin empire.

Don't mind them, these jealous non-Edo are just thieves hoping to get rich on Edo ancestral heritage.

Kwashiman:

Tell that to your useless mother who was screaming my name as I strafed her fat arse in one of my rendezvous spots.

And it's "I'm not the cause of" not "am" you daft Yeribanza illiterate pig

A bastard has no respect for women or other people's mothers, you can't value what you don't have. Not everyone's mother was a sperm dumpster like the organism that birthed you.

One day, you will betray yourself in front of my Edo brothers, and you will be forced out of the south-south. That day will come.
You don't like us, so just pack your things and go.
