And you think Nigerians care about museums? Most Nigerians aren't interested in anything that has to do with acquiring knowledge; in fact I can say that the reason why most people go to higher institutions here is to earn a living. The only way it'll fetch money here is to put in a club house. PS: my opinion.

They are all scrambling to return African stolen treasures not out of the goodness of their heart but because they know what is coming. Expect the floodgates to open and all of them scrambling to return everything they stole, interesting times we are living in. I pity the stubborn one's that will refuse to return Africa's spritual centers of powers in this perilous times.

They value it more than you because they know they are spiritual centers of powers not just for decorations.

You must be very foolish.... It's obvious you aren't Edo.... Better keep your mouth shut if you have nothing sensible to say.


Just so you know, those bronzeworks were highly valued artifacts looted from the palace, after the invasion by the British, and subsequent fall of the great Benin empire

The white man is a "civilized thief".... they are very good at stealing and experts at covering up their thefts through the history books...
