]Obviously Nigeria too immerced in more important and pressing issue now. Returning of this 'okuko igbo' is the least of our problems in this country right now. So, British Govt. Keep it for as much as you want. |

ritababe: Funny enough, I just told my dad same thing. Am even of the opinion that if there's a way Nigeria government can arrange with them to be sending part of the proceeds generated from tourist visits to the cockerel down to naija. I believe the cockerel will even attract more tourist in its present location than it will in Nigeria. 1 Like |

AlienStar: What does that tell you. Those who built it had a civilization that could maintain it. The British came in and destroyed it. Now it's a zoo. And the descendant of those who built it are so far mentally weak to appreciate a work of art... Now the thieves are now the ones that appreciate it's value.. 1 Like |

Okukor is the ibo name for Chicken. Is it same in Benin? Else how did it get that name, or did the Binis also loot the artifact when it colonised the region? Lets just be sure of the origin of the piece. 1 Like |
