Very funny headline 😁😁😁😁
ReplyDeleteI dey tell you...na real stolen fowl.
DeleteThe British have and still are stealing far more from Africa, thanks to the insatiable greed of the black man.
ReplyDeleteThieves.
ReplyDeleteObokhian okhokho🤗🤗🤗
ReplyDeleteThe best news I’ve heard coming from abroad in a very long time, a welcome development, imagine the dexterity and the quality of the work of art then.
ReplyDeleteReal quality
DeleteThis British people ehn! This is good news...Art is history and history is art...We must preserve our culture and history cause that is just who we are...
ReplyDeleteWe're willingly throwing away our heritage, culture, ethics and morals we once had as Africans, and embracing the lifestyle of the western world like it's going out of fashion, the least of our problems are these returned artifacts and antiques, we need to bring back our dignity and raise our moral standards back to where it was, that will impact our younger generations, way more than a carved okuko.
DeleteSamurai, its obvious you are not from Benin,so you won't know the value of these things. Please hide your ignorance and stop littering the comment section with it
DeleteAfter how many years? Anyways, is better late than never. Welcome home okhokho.
ReplyDeleteTonia
At least that fowl will now boost our economy and give value to our naira, useless thieving Europeans
DeleteIs that the real one or they've kept the real one and sent a dummy.
ReplyDeleteThey need to confirm ooo because those people are wonderful o
DeleteIf they give you the real one would you take? What would you use it for?
Delete10.42 speak for YOURSELF if you will accept the fake one, instead of asking ridiculous questions.
DeleteThey still have plenty with them in various museums across Europe. Thank God they returned this one
ReplyDeleteWetin they wan use this one do???The stollen funds nko
ReplyDeleteReturned to be stolen again, this time by Africans...
ReplyDeleteSold this time around.
Deletefunny headline
ReplyDeleteWhen will they return the Queen’s crown they stole from China??? Awon amu robber!
ReplyDeleteNawa for this British people o. What have they not stolen from us eh?
ReplyDeleteWhat right do they have to steal all these artefacts?!!! Na wa o
ReplyDeleteYou didnt know the value.
DeleteWhen last did you go to a museum to look at the antiques and artifacts there?
10.41 so how does that give them the right to STEAL it? Nothing justifies looting of a country's cultural heritage.
DeleteSo because they know the value gives them the right to steal it abi no wonder your politicians keep robbing you blind cos you don’t know what to do with your money
DeleteAbuse is inevitable when the value of a thing is not known.
DeleteShalom, that a quote sounds nice does not make it true.
DeleteEven the ridiculous comments some are asking here shows you the kind of mindset that led to these artifacts being plundered in the first place .
ReplyDeleteFowl that'll be sold soon
ReplyDeleteWhy so negative?
DeleteSold by who?The Oba of Benin and Edo state governor re preparing a place for such treasures already.you can't steal such historic artifacts and sell them so easily like that. The British took them as spoils of war, that's why they had them in the first place.
DeleteBe like the spirit inside the fowl dey disturb them. Lol. Give me back to my owner!
ReplyDeleteThank GOD they even decided to return it. If they were still holding it back,wh wh would any of us had done
ReplyDeleteLol. Good thing they return it to the rightful owners.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is not just a copy. It should be certified original o.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy they are returning our treasures, can't wait for them to return the bronze head of Queen Idia(Oba Esigie's mum), to even think they borrowed us the Bronze head to be used as Festac 77' logo and took it back😭😭😭 our own thing again o
ReplyDeleteAncestral Benin Fowl returned, I hope say no be local fowls dem go take celebrate am.
ReplyDeleteGood
