You think oyinbo men no get sense,if that crocodile was to swallow na the blackman he go swallow first and the rest will run away.Trust a whiteman at your own períl.

The white British people are experts at waging psychological warfare on Africans.

The BBC constantly pushes out stories depicting Africa as a sorry continent with senseless people.

British churches and charities promote the white saviour paradigm that oyinbos are savings of Africa.

DO NOT TRUST THE BRITISH. THEIR TRICKERY IS SECOND TO NONE.

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
From your comment, it's obvious who the foolish one is.

Same with Islam.That is why Africans have inferiority complex,where we think every white person is pure and angelic.

The human race is one,just different colours.Like the dogs,cats,horses.The black man and women are the prototype of the human race.Adam and Eve were blacks if they really exist.

Humans all over the world are just a duplication of multiple characters,traits and facial looks.
You can find your lookalike (outside your family)in multiple places as well your traits and xter.

White men came here, stole our forefathers and used them as slaves, stole our antiquities used them as touristic attraction and unfortunately our leaders stole our money and use them to develop their country.

They must calculate the equivalent damage cost that such theft had led to since 1897 and equally pay it.

Black man has issues.

I agree.... also the British wrote the history books and wrote whatever they liked there.... what they sold to Nigerians is that they came to help and that's what they are continuing to sell today....

But the truth can't be hidden forever....

I'm only just learning they used even military to subjugate Benin Empire.

As for inferiority complex, I quite agree..... they ve pumped out so much junk Africans don't even believe in themselves anymore....

Not Intelligent? Goodness gracious. Africans used to rule the entire world. A historical fact the white man will never include in their history books.

Telling Africans they aren't intelligent is simply psychological warfare, a continuation of slavery and colonialism.

I agree!!! Luggard named Nigeria Nigeria; which is similar sounding to "Nigger". The British never meant well; they just pretend that they do.... they are just after their own selfish interests.

BBC pumps out constant stories that depict Africa as unintelligent. With time Africans started believing it.

They won't put the truth that Africa once ruled the world in their history books because it doesn't fit their white supremacist narrative.

Not just BBC. In fact BBC is even better.

American CNN and Fox news are very notorious for this.

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.

Lol are you Christian?

Stop pretending like Nigerians give a damn about those artifacts, they will call it jazz and destroy it
