Yes, I do. And he did a good job training me that there's more to life than a loaf of bread and bottle of fanta.

Unfortunately you either didn't have a dad growing up, or you didn't listen to good training, or... Let's stop there.

By the way, how old are you? I hate to be exchanging words with a boy that hasn't been weaned from momma's breasts. That probably explains why you failed to see or understand the significance of cultural heritage.

Now, go suckle some more. Peace out.

BanevsJoker:

6th Century AD refers to the 1500s.

geosegun:


Your assertions was quite wrong. You should also go and re-read prehistoric histories again? During this Period (3,000 yrs ago)? Only the Egyptians have developed similar and related worthy civilisations and most are blacks and mixed races. Roman's were savages during this period.

Oh really o defender of son of devil, and why does it have to take that long, and my post for you to come upon that realisation?

Are you aware a lot of half baked nincompoops, in their attempt to appear knowledgeables on this forum spew trash which are considered insult to the intellects of those who actually know.

So once in a while it isn't an unjust thing to do getting back at one out of the many thousands of them miseducating others on this dying platform.

AbuTwins:


This are the uncouth and ill-bred youths we have in this country!
I am a responsible family man and i still do have parents so you know i'm not a boy!

So what is the use of graven images and statues?

Do you have comprehension disabilities?
It was sculptured in the 6th century but was about to be smuggled into Mexico recently but was intercepted by Mexico custom officers. Read properly before beating your ;Dchest like gorilla.

Chest-beating Olodo langido!

I've never read of anytime an artifact was returned or asked to be returned to the South East.
Our white exploiters through the ages couldn't find anything worth stealing there.

The sculpture, from the 6th century southwestern Yoruba city of Ife,


the date is talking about the city not the sculpture

Donaldoni:
I hope unnecessarily proud Bini/Edo people see this...

Bini/Edo can NEVER be as great as Yoruba!...

0m0nnakoda:

The date refers to the sculpture I.e its believed age.
That is not such an onerous comprehension task ,surely.....

YORUBA NATION WILL RISE AND SHINE!!!

GreenRose22:


Human history dates back only abut 6000 years. Now while the Egyptians, Libyans and Ethiopians can trace their history as far back as that with concrete proof, no other balck race can do half as good, except perhaps the ancient kingdom of Mononmatapa

Dating in West Africa is mostly done by the carbon dating system which is not accurate. So when Ooni stands up and says 'His ancestors where digging wells and lining them with steel in ife 5000 years ago na for moth ooo. Nobody kept records any point. The white man brought the dating system to Africa and until he came people counted their age by the number of planting seasons they witnessed, etc.

Apollux:

Thanks for clearing that up. And that is 6 century AD and not BC. And that is about right for the period Oduduwa fled the middle east to survive the persecution from the spread of Islam. There is a possibility that this was among the things he took with him when he fled middle east. Or could be something he taught the yoruba people to make when he settled in Ile Ife. The timing is right for such speculations . Besides to our missinformed man, that is just around 1400 years ago.

Stop ridiculing yourself


You cannot bluff your way out

The subject of the sentence is the sculpture not 6th century Ife.
The sentence is simply telling us when and where the sculpture was sculpted

Dasuks:


Dont get too excited the most prized artifacts from Naija are either medieval Benin bronze works or 2500 year old Nok works.

This is impressive nonetheless. Dont just get carried away.
