festacman:
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.

Those airplanes and computers were developed from history.

The past is key to the future

Long live the king ..

Superstitious black man Better stop living in the past and get knowledge that shīt is just empty relics

The British stole the artifacts and it ended in a German musium.

Can't see the oba here, just chiefs.

If na some king now na them go attend that event themselves , but Oba of Nigeria send delegates. May your reign be long. I want Oba of Nigeria living in Benin city to open a school where other people who call themselves king can go for training on how to be a king

Human seems fixated on things that holds no eternal value nor add to their chances of accessing the holy celestial city. If only we are wise, we would all encourage ourselves to live a godly life that pleases God and qualifies for an eternity of bliss with him.


Deuteronomy 32:29 (KJV) O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Every nation cannot build planes guy. We have our comparative advantages. Did you read the book of economics? Grab one and read. There are many nations envying Nigeria on oil and agriculture. Na bad leadership we get, we should be competing with world economic powers today. Russia that everyone is talking about today is just a leap above Nigeria on gas enrichment list. Check it

Poster should kindly note that the Oba of Benin doesn't leave his Palace to visit anybody unless for 1 person whom is only friend. Oba of Benin is not like other Nigerian political Obas that leave their Palaces to participate in other activities outside their Palaces. This is welcomed development though

Oba of Benin, Others Participate At Berlin Humboldt Forum Arts Exhibition In

The Oba of Benin, Ewuare II and other prominent traditional leaders in Africa and across the globe have participated at the just concluded arts exhibition, second opening of Humboldt forum in Berlin, .

Humboldt Forum, a museum of art and culture also played host to arts collectors, enthusiasts, and researchers across the globe.

The museum houses non-European collections including thousands of artefacts looted from the palace of Benin Kingdom during the 1897 invasion.

They were on display at the celebration and commissioning of the last part of opening of Humboldt Forum.

The revered Benin monarch was at the exhibition which took place on 16th, September 2022, represented by his brother, His Royal Highness, Prince Aghatise Erediuwa who led other of the delegation.

The exhibition also hosted friends, partners and colleagues of Prof. Dr Hartmut as earlier announced in a statement made available to Ben TV London Senior Correspondent, Adeniyi Moses Ifetayo, tly endorsed by Prof. Dr Hartmut Dorgerloh, General Director Humboldt and Prof. Dr. Lars –Christian Koch, Director Ethnological Museum

Recall that a delegation of German ethnological museum led by Prof Christian Koch had in April 2022, interacted with the Benin Monarch on planned return and restitution of historic Benin artefacts.

Mr Solomon Okuduwa who provided technical had led the German ethnologists to the historic Igun streets where they also met with the association of Bronzes casters.

The Forum located in the heart of Berlin is a hub of exhibitions which attract researchers and arts lovers and aims to be the cultural destination compared with the London museum.

The museum had announced plans to pursue conversations with Nigerian officials especially Edo State Government lead by His Excellency, Godwin Obaseki regarding the repatriation of the Benin Bronzes in its collections and pledged to repatriate Benin Bronzes in its collections.

Ngwamankillyou:
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.

I've told you, remive bad leadership and see Nigeria progress at rocket speed

We still have some of these Bini sculptures even that of Oba Ozuola and Oba Akenzua and our own, my G.G grandpa's chariots and golden swords still in Lagos museum Badagry not in foreign lands. Oba is foolish for this act, highly disappointed in him. They stole from him and still invited him over for the display of the stolen items and he sent an Enogie to rep him. What a shame! Thank God my monarch isn't among those monarchs that went to bini for recognition in the old times and we're still the number 1 in my entire tribe and most senior ancestral stool. Ajuvwe me wo sun Tor!

Oba of Benin dey any of these pictures ?

the headline is misleading, His Royal Highness Oba of Benin does not leave his Kingdom, you would have better state it clear on the headline that he sent representatives instead of saying he participated, I am saying this in case of those who don’t understand the Benin tradition, that Baba nor Dey travel after ascending to the throne

That's some awesome array of art collection. I really ire that plague hung up on the wall detailing the Oba and his guards.

You should use words carefully sometimes. How dare you call HRM foolish? Well, it isn't your fault by the way as anything goes in a faceless forum. In case you don't know, not all of the artefacts were returned as some were monetised and kept by
the German museums on a loan basis to be renewed after some years.
