erico2k2: Am benin and i would say benin is leaving on past glory in the world ....just go to igun were all this art were made the leave in penury... As for historical renovation is actually zero my friend the moat is almost closed up..the government has not done anything to bring it back or maintain it ...since the Benin walls were destroyed by the british it wasn't even built again ...the moat is been used as sewage and refuse dump in the entire city...a moat that was once recongnised in guiness book of record...if proper maintance was done on this moat if its well exibited to the world i bet everyone will want to come to the place that made the beautiful art to see its moat or walls ...it will create so much mobey for the state...nevertheless to do such work on this tourism it requires billions of money not the one ge is doing.... For the art to be returned i say no...keep it till will developed to have it back |

Mrchippychappy: The problem here is obvious. Though educated, a MAJORITY of Nigerian youths are SIMPLE MINDED ( not a compliment) and only attained education because their parents wanted them to, and because there career demands some form of educational qualification. I wouldn't say I am disappointed however, I have always known this. Most of them do not know that Africa was raped, ravaged and plundered, to the point of atrocious crimes against humanity, when in a bid to cover their acts, the West decided to not only rob us of our resources, but also our identity and history. After-all, there is a saying which goes thus. You don't know where you are going, if you don't know where you are coming They stole ALL documented records of our history, that should have been passed on to on coming generations, took it back to their lands, studied us in a bid to master world domination, then told lies that we couldn't write or document historic event upon first contact with them. Did the same for artificats, and branded us SAVAGES. This dumb generation, might not know the implications of what the West did, but it is what Africa is currently suffering. The Arabs and their kind call you descendants of slaves, The West call you savages, The Asians who tend to take a more relaxed less racist stance still stigmatize association with blacks. All thanks and due to the NARRATIVE of the WEST! An instance I will rather not divulge, but would mention to paint a visual picture is this. Growing up most of the guys who did menial jobs for my family were Ghanaian, which was due to their country experiencing some form of economic challenges at the time. From the Carpenter, to the Mechanic, the tailor, and even the puff-puff seller etc. These were not jobs to be ashamed of, but I am trying to stress a point here. At a point in my life, as a child, I thought of Ghanaians less than Nigerians, but as I grew up and became wiser I realized that we were all equal. It will however interest you to know that yesterday, I saw Sakordies post on instagram where he proclaimed a certain DJ Mensah the best dj in Africa. I smiled and said to myself best DJ for where? Ghana wey dey sell puff-puff best dj. I apologize to any Ghanaian reading this, I felt bad after I said that....... But this is just an example of why the world will ALWAYS and forever view Black people as inferior beings, possessing sub-humans intelligence. IT'S DUE TO WHAT THE LYING CAUCASIAN RACE TOLD THEM, after stealing EVERYTHING from us. 6 Likes |

Xisnin: Powerful Caucasian civilizations conquered and plundered lesser know Caucasian civilizations. Same was done in Asia, as in the Middle East, and everywhere else. However, you do not see the items they STOLE being displayed in their Museums now do you? Want to know why? They never took them. All they were after was the gold and riches those kingdom had to offer. Which is why the barbarian tribes who destroyed the Roman empire were called THE VANDALS. Because they destroyed and laid waste to everything the Romans had created, after taking all the gold and riches. Those Artifacts were/are the missing piece in our history. 2 Likes |

Mrchippychappy: Another victim spotted. It is clear that you didn't address the topic and your post was more about throwing insults at others. In which language were you educated? Benin? It is hypocritical to condemn the British just because they have a written history of the bad deeds they did. We don't even know what your ancestors did to their neighbours, but they are saint because we don't know. Even if a million artefacts were returned to Nigeria, it would change nothing. Nigerians won't stop being christian or muslim, they wouldn't even drop any of their adopted western culture and practices and we won't suddenly become another China. One problem with victim mentality is that it enslaves those who carry it while they think they are free. It is unfortunate that we are still struggling to get back our cultural artefacts in the 21st century when every other group's priority is technological advancement. SMH. 1 Like |

MrsNwaAmaikpe:The same necessary value that wasn't awarded before some of it was sold/stolen? Take it or leave it, it looks more attractive and valuable in the British Museum than it's previous residence. |

phreakabit: You know little about history, every major civilised power in the recent past has some form of artefact to show for it. A little digging will convince you. Guess what, the artefacts are not a missing piece of our history if they were we won't even be talking about it. And even the ones that were not "stolen", how many people do you think troop to check them out? You will be surprised at the indifference most people show to these things which you think are part of our missing history. After all who cares about idols of the past. |

Xisnin: An absolute dolt, possessing the intelligence of a drunken demented MONKEY spotted! You write as though their is a visible cord, running from your azs-hole to your brain. I hate arguing with dimwits. No one has said anything about turning to pagans or animists. He is simply stating that what was STOLEN be returned the same way fraud and drug money acquired by Africans are returned to Europe and America. An action they refuse to reciprocate when corrupt politicians wealth are confiscated by them. Xisnin: You think this is about Idols? You really do? Are we going to worship things we know nothing about? Did you read my lengthy initial post ? Have you been on pro-white supremacist forums to see what they say about us? They stole our written documents and said we NEVER had any form of writing, but yet they can't explain NSIBIDI which cuts across Igbo and Efik/Ibibio lands. 2 Likes |
