U see how foolish you are
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

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.

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

You want to compare bronze to anti matter?

Do you know how much a gram of anti matter is in the black market?

Use Google check.

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.

When was the last time you visited a museum in Nigeria?

.. 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

White men returning artifacts for you just like that ?

I am 100% sure they are returning fake artifacts and keeping the original on private property.

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.

This is actually what I think, the world is progressing to science and technology, these items are rarely needed in this modern world.

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

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

I read in the Bible where the Philistines were troubled on all sides trying to return the Ark of God that they captured during the war. The Bible says that God allowed his presence to be captured but it was only the Philistines that knew what they passed through all the years. Switzerland did not fight against the Binis but they are returning what they did not steal. The big thief is still packaging all they stole from the Benin Kingdom on their own volition. According to their ex PM, Britain is now a banana Republic. I think we should wait for them to turn to akara Republic before they can bring back our heritage.

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!
