Britain, Britain, Britain! How many times did I call you? You said our ancestors were uncivllized, primitive savages. We agree. Oya, return our uncivilized, primitive, and savage historical artefacts, UNA NO GREE. You have THOUSANDS of Benin Bronzes in your possession. Only a few are displayed in your museums, the rest are hidden in underground vaults. Are you sure it's not you, Britain, that are the real uncivilized, barbaric savages? I mean, even shamelessly holding on to something everyone knows you stole, and proudly displaying them in your museums... is that not the very height of savagery? Putting the 'spoils of war' on public display is a very ancient, barbaric practice that Africans had long abandoned even before you invaded. Why? Because Africa is the Cradle of Civilization. The HOME of civilization. Where men live by proverbs, the palm oil with which words are eaten. SO we understand why you can't let go of our treasures. According to your people... “These works from Benin are equal to the very finest examples of European casting technique,” wrote Professor Felix von Luschan, formerly of the Berlin Ethnological Museum. “Benvenuto Celini could not have cast them better, nor could anyone else before or after him. Technically, these bronzes represent the very highest possible achievement.” Source, UK Guardian Newspaper. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace Benin Bronzes, 12th Century 121 Likes 10 Shares |

Damnnn niggar The ancient city of Benin where the King is truely king The most feared and respected oba and kingdom in the whole of West Africa The most advanced and organised kingdom The Portuguese explorers marveled by the development of the Benin Empire! The thing shock them say as at the time they thought Africans were far away from civilization but how come the Binis were able to come up with the idea of linking and connecting the entire town to that ring road Benin city for a reason....the only city well spelled on Nigeria map Proud to be a Bini son 151 Likes 19 Shares |

I would have preferred them remitting some amount of money from the proceeds gotten from sighting them at the museums. Returning them to Nigeria won't yield any economic value for now. Artifacts like this are not appreciated here 33 Likes 2 Shares |

Would some of the stolen artifacts be on display? Would it ve finely display and promoted? If not, they should be returned asap to a land where its worth would be appreciated. It's like keeping a torch under a bucket. 5 Likes |
