These people built airplanes, cars, macro and mini computers, sundry electronic appliances, flew to the moon, etc but treat some bronze works from Africa as something mysterious.

Tell me why this is not just a ploy to hold us back to bronze age when they are far ahead in the hi-tech and digital worlds.

This is wrong,instead they the British people and their German counterpart should bring it to Oba Palace and apologize,but by him going there to see that object shows no respect and they won't bring all the stolen arts because of his presence either.

This Oba na tourist like no other Oba of Benin ooo.
