U go to other countries... Celebrate their culture... Celebrate their relics but e reach Edo people turn... U Wan turn white man wen u no be.... Odeh.... If e reach your turn, throw way your past and you'd identity on the altar of technology and innovation... Sense wen u no get now be say both of them can happen side by side..... China dey do am... They are rich in culture and have works of arts to show for it..... And they are also a developed nation.... Artifacts does not stop developments... U fool

olyrayy:
Are you joking? The benin bronzes are worth a fortune on the art market. Some even sell for millions of dollars.

geoworldedu:
You don't know nada. With those bronze safely housed in Benin, it can be a tourist attraction to bring more development to the nation.

TheStoriesOfMan:
You dey celebrate culture but hunger dey wire citizens. Na culture you go chop?

Culture is celebrated when there is employment, security, peace of mind, progress, identity and brotherhood.

You mentioned china but you forgot china did the right thing for their citizens and now they are enjoying the dividends of good governance.

Culture goes hand to hand with good governance,good morals, brotherhood and respect.

.. U can forget about your own culture and sacrifice it for rice and bread... Teach your children to do the same but please don't drag others down the pit of poverty and hunger with you...... Allow them celebrate and preserve their culture in peace

0Brien:
They only returned them because they no longer have commercial value.

TheStoriesOfMan:
That's their business, but don't minor in the major and major in the minor to cause undevelopment and underdevelopment to other people who wants a working society. Nigerians need to catch up as other countries have left them behind.

I have a culture, an ancestry and an identity, but I don't carry it on my head like gala seller.

There is time for everything: a time to identify, celebrate and relate with culture and there is a time to forge ahead and use our skills to further the cause of humanity.

Of what use are these bronze?
It's useless
People are upgrading in technology while Edo people's are still stuck backwards in stone age with culture, glorifying itself in a useless bronze that plays no economical impact in the society

Dennisochampa:
You're not an Edo person... Your culture is not from Edo... Edo developement or under development does not affect you... So why are you crying more than the bereaved? Any Edo person Don cry come meet you before say the culture dey heavy them to carry before Please leave them alone with their culture... Ur own wen deh perfect... Face am!!!

RealityKings1:

TheStoriesOfMan:
How do you know am not an Edo person?

Have I ever disclosed where I came from?

You know whether my wife or in-law is from Edo State?

What's my business if them want carry culture for head?

Culture should be respected, Edo person or not.

Christian Islam or not, give honor to whom honor is due.

Edo State has no light, no good roads, no infrastructure but una dey carry culture for head.

If say Chinese man dey carry culture for head but him never see 3 hours light daily, I go still criticize am the same way I dey critizise you.

If you want to carry culture, good for you. But remember that culture cannot give you roads, hospitals, schools, infrastructure and electricity.

Culture is lovely, but do the right thing.

Say the truth and shame the dvvil!

Dennisochampa:
Oga leave Edo alone..... Ur own state wen no value culture... Hope light dey steady?? Is it the artifacts that will generate electricity for you or the federal government Don tell u before say na Benin artifacts male them never fit give you steady electricity If not.... Why body dey pepper you. Leave them alone.... If your wife wen be Edo no let you marry again because her tribe dey carry their artifacts for head....... Divorce her or make she renounce the tribe..... Just focus on bringing development to your own tribe and people... Put your mouth for the one wen concern you..... Leave those wen no invite you... Life no hard.. Na people like u dey make am hard

TheStoriesOfMan:
Baba, life no hard. Life suppose dey simple. Na we dey set unnecessary rules for unnecessary situations.

Forget this matter. You don dey derail this discussion.

Just give Caesar wetin belong to Caesar. That's all.

There's time for everything.

Dennisochampa:
Leave Edo people and their caesar alone.... Face your own caesar...... I no understand why una go leave una tribe problems and challenges... Dey weep over another person own.....
