First i would like to apologies for my bad English, it is a result of my mixing up with a lot of poorly learned crowd in Benin city for this few years, all those who used to know me would understand this downward development. I have recently taken a new kind of interest into the outlook of the cultural values of bini beginning from the new upgrade of the Monarch's palace at ring road and found the answers i was looking for... There is evidence that the monarchy is yearning for an upgrade so there is a need to mix-up and lump up the core values of the culture. The current upgrade of the old bini palace for instance calls for extreme criticism... The photo attached below show the old and current look... And then compared with the 3rd photo (Palace of Aruba a Tropical Central American Country) and the 4th photo (Ancient Summer Palace of China)

I thought for a culture well known for it's pride and egalitarian slogan "the ancient city" a citi known for it's bronze and wooden art works it would be a shame upgrade the palace and it doesn't represent it's cultural trademark... Palaces are museum and a monarch is it's chief keeper. Right?

What do you guys think?
