Hope they return the original ones

Returning the Artifacts are not the issue here, how will the Binis maintain them, is their any state of the art museum in Edo State?
Why can't the Government of Nigeria and the state collaborate together to use this as an opportunity to promote and protect the rich national heritage of the tribe for posterity.

Because I don't see how the Palace can store the Artifacts from more looting and destruction.

I have a strong feelings that these artifacts have been cloned and allowed to age in order to deceive us, they are still holding on to the original objects

After dey done finish am...what they are bringing back is chaff

This is good news to the people of Benin and indeed Nigeria in general. Obaghatokpere, Ise!

Reminds me of Gold statue

What about all our gold's and mineral resources they stole during the Victorian era ?

Big thanks to Chimamanda Adiche for the superior arguments she used to concel their policy of "Retain and explain" during his Frankfort conference on stolen antifacts. It's on YouTube while she was presenting her points Brits, french and Germans couldn't hide their shame while he countered their argument with a superior flawless one. AFTER THAT LECTURE, THEY STARTED HAVING A RETHINK.

You will never find African stolen properties in the Russian Federation, that's why we love Russia and despise the western global bandits.

E go come back Nigeria become useless for Nigeria

Please let's support honourable Peter obi for the president's of federal Republic of Nigeria, we are tired of those thief's now,

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian know it's only someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from total collapsing, but seriously some ethnic bigot people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian's current problems, #ObiDatti2023 is certain

Every sane Nigeria knows Obi is not the candidate to rescue Nigeria.
If Akinwumi Adesina is consenting or Soludo is contesting, we can give these people much credit.
Not someone who has eaten and dine with thieves.

May God save Nigeria from those that wants to loot and plunder the Land of Federal Republic of Nigeria.


God will surely punish those stupid foreigners working against the National Economy Of Nigeria. Those stupid foreigners that left their countries and comes to Nigeria in disguise as investors but they are spy on a mission to destabilize National Economy Of Nigeria and sow the seeds of disunity among ethnic groups in Nigeria.

All the international spy coming to Nigeria to recruit Nigerians to spy for them will surely be defeated and disgrace.

Nemesis will surely catch up with all the criminal foreigners causing sufferings for Nigerians. What goes around comes around; all the foreigners waging gorilla warfare against Nigeria and Nigerians will soon fall into their own traps and pit.

All the foreigners and international spy attacking the National Economy Of Nigeria will soon be caught by aggressive Nigerians and handed over to Nigeria authorities for persecution.

Nigerians will surely go after all the secret foreigners waging economy war on the National Economy Of Nigeria.
No matter where these violence foreigners and international spy are operating from in Nigeria; Nigerians will look for them and uncover their hidding places and will make them know to Nigeria authorities.

All this foreigners working against naira currency will surely be defeated and disgrace by Nigerians very soon.

May Nigeria authorities punish those stupid foreigners for all the sufferings they cause Nigerians.

Awon ole.

Returning them after more than 100 years, how about the revenues generated from the said artifacts since then? . very wicked people, invaded a less superior African country and casting away her resource. wonder why they are all barking over Russian invasion of ukraine now, isnt what they have been doing all over the world since?

Returning the art work is not enough. What about the money made from displaying it all these years? These people really think we are stupid.

Na so you dey follow am, na was oo

They are all returning Africa's stolen treasures not because of the goodness of their heart, but because they know what is coming. The ancient one's are back and woe to any nation who still have their treasures in it's possession, you will see a floodgate of everything stolen from Africa returned from now on. You can beg them to keep it based on your ignorance and lack of knowledge because you think it is safer with them but unfortunately they know what time it is so will not listen to you

God almighty should direct our heart no single politician is a saint in this country

Buhari was more saint more than Peter Òbí during 2014 look at where we are now

If u are telling us to vote for PETER OBI due to Igbó being marginalized i can reason with u but saying this is our messier i don't agree with u

Those dieties are no longer Africans

All that stuff is just going to get stolen all over again and sold back to foreign art collectors, unless they hand it all over to the Oba of Benin directly.

And for the rentage for years.

This is the aftermath of Chimamanda Adichie's speech at a recent museum opening ceremony in Germany (link below). Powerful lady

Your crediting the success to Chimamanda Adichie is not completely true.

The Edo state government in colloboration with stakeholder at the federal level had been at the forefront of demanding this artworks right from the 1980s.

Pressure from many stakeholders holders in Nigeria cave in and it resulted in the european government holding this artfact to conclude that it was best for their national image and reputation to return the artworks or artifacts.

Chimamanda Adichie only came in lately to add her voice following her growing personality and the recognition of her works in the literature. by the european countries.

However, she should be thanked for her effort without much exaggeration that she is the principal persons behind the return of the artifacts.

Good thing but how would tourist visit with all these insecurities around? They may even end up stealing them and selling abroad

Once these super spiritual artifacts are returned to its original base,
something will happen in Nigeria.

I am so happy about this development

But its useless in Nigeria na. No one is travelling to benin palace to go look at them

Nigeria government and Benin indigenous must sue UK for burglary acquisition
