MexManuel: A thief returning items he stole isnt doing a "pleasant gesture". Or is it because the thief is a white-skinned fellow? It is the moral and right thing to do. Do you think if it is the other way around, the white man wouldnt have sent troops to recover their stolen items? 1 Like |

Nice gesture by the grandson but on another note... sometimes, the whole slavery thing gets me thinking, what we percieve as tribulation might actually be a blessing in disguise, only time can tell; the descendants of our people that were taken away as slaves would forever be grateful to the colonial masters, Obama, Beyonce, Jay Z and the likes wouldn't see slave trade the way we see it. To us, it was a CURSE but to them, it was a GIFT. Never undermine whatever you are going through today, it just might be for the benefit of your generations unborn. 1 Like 1 Share |

Obaiyski: Do you call the Obas of Bini con men because they similarly (or even worse) exploited those they colonised in their kingdom before the Brits whittled down their power? Reason am well o.

Take note of how many times the word ''restitution'' was used. If you check history, you'll inmediately realize that white people are the ones that must redeem themselves of their crimes/sin. But they turned it around and told us Africans that we need to be redeemed by Jesus. They even used stolen materials to emblem one of their ''Jesus'' university. Our ancestors were incredibly honest, modest and Godly people, contented with what they had. That's why we didn't invade others. The white man rules today because they committed so much crime to make it to the top. Even the word ''crime'' is an understatement but there's no other word to say it. Western Europe -except one or two countries- basically functioned as a terrorist organization between 1500- 1900. How would Britain ever be able to restitute their crime?I read Shashi Tharoor's book, Inglorious empire- what Britain did to India, and the scale of British crime there is as mindbuggling as all their former colonies. They tried to calculate the monetary loss to India and it ran into Trillions of Dollars. Britain don't have the money to restitute their worldwide crime empire. 4 Likes 1 Share |

see the way they have made good use of those items, they even took it to universities to teach history and making good money off it, but in Nigeria here they didn't even teach us our history, talk less of making good use of it. The poor guy is just paranoid thinking Nigerians are now woke about these things, if only he knew..smh 1 Like |
