Culture / Re: Oba Of Benin, Others Participate At Berlin Humboldt Forum Arts Exhibition In Ger by martineverest(m): 1:55pm On Sep 27, 2022

How did they steal it?
Whitemen said "I like it" they said "take"? Or was it at gun point, they raided the palace?

Even recently, one Oba wanted to become an Emir (even though Dan Fodio didn't conquer his land), he brought out old artifacts and burn them all as idol (it only took one religious nutjob).
Go and read punitive expendition of 1896.......u will know better.

Great Britain knew it would be difficult to rule most southern part of Nigeria without conquering Benin empire...they sent 3000 soldiers with heavy artillery to destroy Benin and depose Oba of Benin....they looted all the treasury In Oba palace and Benin city and burnt the city ..
They stole over 3k artefacts and sold them to germans, Brits and Americans

This is wrong,instead they the British people and their German counterpart should bring it to Oba Palace and apologize,but by him going there to see that object shows no respect and they won't bring all the stolen arts because of his presence either.

This Oba na tourist like no other Oba of Benin ooo.
ozuor...did u see Oba there?

Leave those items in Europe. If they where in Nigeria, a pastor or Imam would have burnt them long ago as idol.
but they were in Oba palace for more than 300 years b4 British soldiers stole them

Frankie De Jong is being owed. One of the reasons he can't leave is that he might likely forfeit his owed amount if he signs elsewhere. That is why he is determined to see out his contract and have a legal backing to get his money. Unfortunately, Barca no longer wants him but signs players instead of have him paid off.
legal backing?...lol

There is legal backing the shows fraud and flaws in his contract

There's nothing to hate about an ailing club. Take some time off and find out where Barca stands with FFP violation and players' debts.
who and who is Barca owing?.....only pique and Busquets are on suspended salaries

So many things wrong with this season. It's difficult to watch. Zero originality, too much pretence.



I think the organizers need to take a year's break and rejig the show.

Maybe a celebrity version or an all stars.
that's what big brother Africa used to do....I guess big brother Naija organisers are making too much money that they don't want to take break

The truth is that if the yorubas has brought osibanjo and stood firmly behind him, Peter Obi wouldn't have emerged. All we wanted was a different decent human being besides the old looters we used to have. But when the yorubas decided to front Tinubu because of money they stand to recieve from him, then alternative becomes Obi.

Skyfornia:
I don't understand all these distractions people are insinuating.. election is next year and the show is only for 90 days. Besides, I don't see how it's going to distract the attention even if the show will last till next year..

For example, does the show distract people from going to work or doing their business? The answer is No, same way it won't distract people from being Obidient.
70 days, not 90

Revenue is different from Asset Value

These are their revenue for the financial year ended... journalists should always approach professionals in this case Accountants before publishing rubbish
I don't even know the criteria the website used.


Forbes rated Barcelona and Madrid as the most valuable with over 4billion pounds...while Manchester United is distant 3rd

This goes to show how very competitive the premier league has become.

Premier League remains the best League in the world.
