Britain, Britain, Britain!

How many times did I call you?

You said our ancestors were uncivllized, primitive savages.

We agree. Oya, return our uncivilized, savage and primitive historical artefacts, UNA NO GREE.

Are you sure it is not you, Britain, that is the real uncivilized, barbaric savage?

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 barbarism?

Actually it was the British who argued that our Fathers were Noble Savages who should be treated as equals
which the Germans and french were not willing to accept because they saw blacks as less than Humans

That was why it was the English Anglican church that ordained the first Black African Bishop Ajayi Crowther

Queen Victoria even had an adopted Black daughter from Ilaro in Ogun State her name was Bonetta Aina Forbes

She was one of the Matriarchs of the Randle family of Lagos

Been a long time coming

Britain still sees itself as above dark skinned people. That is the average mindset over there. Let’s hope they’ll soften their hearts eventually.

Things that Nigerians would've thrown into fires and roasted snakes on centuries ago, because colonials made them valuable, they've been acting like they were stolen from them.

The Germans have returned artifacts. We’re still waiting on the others.

Benin kingdom that was known as the most prosperous kingdom in the 18th century have now turn to headquarters of prostitution where Edo girls are traffic to European countries for prostitution

Stupid post, your headline says 1000 bronze, den main article says 21....wack blogger

I would prefer they take back thier nonsense religion and allow us practise our in peace.

Mumu country .
People that we supposed to bill them and charge the exact money they have made on the bronze for the number of years it stayed with them.

We are celebrating they returning it.

The world had moved to technology while Nigeria should be given back thier artifacts that was a treasure about 125 years ago

Hope oba of benin will not fight obaseki over the actfact again because he needs it in his Palace

I don't just trust these pple, hope it is not the counterfeits that they returned and withheld the prototypes I don't just trust these pple, hope it is not the counterfeits that they returned and withheld the prototypes

Nigeria is great indeed, God bless Nigeria and Benin kingdom, iseeeee.

You dont have to display your stupidity for all to see.
Sometimes just pretend like you have sense.

We had the land and they had the bible...but by the time they were done they had the land and then we had the bible....

they said They brought redemption and light...but then they left with our light and left us all in to ta darkness and backwardness.

VeryWickedGoat:
Those are the artworks that led Hitler to start WWII. Expect serious war in Benin when they hypnotize Oshiomhole to slap Obaseki.

You can't appreciate the importance of culture. You that your people have no history and no future.

You have THOUSANDS of Benin Bonzes 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?


But we understand why you can't let go of the artefacts.

According to your own 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.”

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

Well spelled how

Benin kingdom was really great. Compared to what we have now.

As Dem don spoil everything in disguise of colonization

And some people were abusing that Prof Uju that called out the evil queen that just died earlier this year. My people were busy wishing a figure who is partly responsible for what Nigeria is today eternal rest. We as a people are truly damaged because if only we knew what this British people did and are still doing to this country we will spit on them for all time to come.
They have never apologized nor taken responsibility for the pillaging of Nigeria and those countries they colonized yet they are still displaying the artifacts they stole from you in their museum and vaults and they turn around to call you fantastically corrupt and your President gleefully agreed with them. Nkan se wa ni ilu yi ooo.

British government must pay every youths in Nigeria 10 million naira each

Wickedfacts:


You can't appreciate the importance of culture. You that your people have no history and no future.

Afonja culture is betrayal.

You see, why we suffer is the fact that the truth has not come before our eyes.....
These artifacts would have been a basis of our history...a leaning to the future embedded by callous Local politics perpetuated by dum religious innuendoes which , if you look closely, world over, is tumbling.....
First, Lai, hold back ....Benin, wat can you now offer beyond keeping these art works behind glasses.....
You see the Ibos fight for Biafra, it shows they feel a sense of sacrifice and history that this confused contraption must not steal from them....
Life is sacred... We don't need Christ to come before we unearth this beautiful reality...
Imagine a descendant of these working for minimum wage in Britain..... because of JAPA..
Irony

Benin kingdom was really great. Compared to what we have now.

Benin had one of the greatest civilizations on earth

After how many years....?

Imagine what it would have done to our mindset as a people, if we knew we had civilization and industrialization as far back as the 15th century.

Knowing that the NOK culture of Northern Nigeria, was part of the earliest appearance industrialization in AFRICA.
Imagine over 5000 bespoke bronze sculpture....where we see elements, who teach us bout foundry, or art?
See the connectivity of ring road and Benin city as a whole.
We truly used to be the Giant of Africa- in every sense of it.

And our educational system decided to ban History...mk you just see how devil take dey blind people.
We don't know our past...we don't know what we've accomplished...so we fear our potential, and live within limits.

Crawling with the defeatist identity the British created for us...imagine if they had told us that we were the Kings of agriculture, engineering, medicine...etc.

See the Igbos for example, there's the story that they started life after the war with 20 pounds....look where they are as a people today?

Every igbo person unborn, already has a motivational story waiting for him- "..with 20pounds, you can make something out of life."

If only we knew we were born for greatness....and if we take that leap of faith, and believe in our ourselves, we will rule the world.

They next generation should know the truth of who they are, and the potential that lies within them.

Africa will be great again.
Aye Africa!

the great Bini civilization has a connection to the ancient Egyptian civilization.
Egyptian names such as Amenhotep, Tutankhamen are synonymous with Edo names such as overami,egiepho etc.those in Egypt today are impostors

VeryWickedGoat:

Afonja culture is betrayal.

Nyamuri culture is cowardice, poverty and losses.
Cowards lost the war, you are still the poorest with No Forbes Billionaire in Nigeria from your side.
You are so poor, if you don't leave your place, you won't eat.

COdeGenesis:
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

those artifacts are a testament to the achievements of our forefathers, their true worth cannot be quantified in financial terms.
