And so? Whether na the original or fake, it will not add any value to edolites Edolites need good governance. That's what will bring development and advancement, not bronze head & cockerel. illicit: |

Jaz dey work, Jaz dey work Yet these white men destroyed the wall of Benin and stole their artefacts and other resources. They are returning it more than 100 years later due to their own will power and the 'kindness' of their heart not because of any spiritual punishment or tribulation. Yet people dey kill their fellow countrymen for the promise of riches Una no wan wise for this country at all ![]() 2 Likes |

DemMannaScam:First of all, we are not called "edolites", unlike you, we don't worship Israel. We are part of the Edo people of Benin empire, and to refer to those of us within Edo state, you actually have to say "people of Edo-state". Also your logic seem flawed: since we need development, we should abandon our cultural heritage ? How does that make sense ? How does getting back our cultural heritage stop us from getting development ? If anything the return of Benin artefacts will boost tourism in Edo-state and therefore add to Edo-state economy and help the development of Edo-state. So try and make sense instead of being a hater. 8 Likes |

Well, I am glad the thieving Brits returned the artifacts. The artifacts were never meant to be in the possession of the thieving Brits to begin with. 3 Likes |

Don't think the oyibo willingly returned these deities they regarded as artifacts. The ancestral spirits are beginning to disturb them, thereby compelling them to do the needful. 1 Like |

tarantino1:Why must imbeciles always deviate topics and relate every woe in Nigeria to us Edo ? Look tell your brothers to stop doing ritual killings, you don't need to mention our name while doing so or to do it in a topic about our returned artefacts. Make your own topic and discuss with your wayward psychopath brothers who like to do ritual killings. 1 Like |

Bahamas95:No that might be a replica because they know Nigeria doesn’t have radio carbon dating technology to determine whether they are fake or original.A “well respected “ school kept a stolen artifact for more than 100 years should have let you know something.White people don’t have emotions or sentiments like black peoples. Their mind is blank on those |

Ghostwon6511: As long as they are Nigerians like yourself, they are your brothers. No matter how you try to separate yourself from them based on tribe and state and other nonsense, you are all one. This is not 1880 where you identity by your tribe before anything else. In 2022, you are a Nigerian first before anything. And even if I were to follow your logic, it was only two months ago when an Edo man named Osas killed his girlfriend for money rituals. The same powerless god that couldn't fight for his people when the white descerated the land is the same one he sacrificed his girlfriend to for riches. Enjoy your evening newspaper artifacts, dolt. 4 Likes |
