This is why we should NEVER return museum pieces to 2nd and 3rd world countries.....

Chloe “Chicongo” Tzang’s racist inner MAGAt is showing again…





Also:

The collection of Benin Bronzes returned from the U.K. and Germany to Nigeria was apparently given to the Oba (king) of Benin by the outgoing President of Benin, and a private museum is allegedly being built to display them.

Also( per wiki):

“The Oba of Benin is the traditional ruler and the custodian of the culture of the Edo people and all Edoid people.”



Here is a full explanation of the situation:

Also:

There WAS an earlier attempt by a far right group in Germany to stop the transfer of Germany’s collection (stolen) Benin Bronzes to their rightful home - claiming that Nigeria was corrupt and couldn’t be trusted to keep the artifacts safe - which could explain this latest bit of questionable reporting.





Chloe “Chicongo” Tzang MAY want to apologize to the PB.

So Reuters reported yesterday that the bronzes have been returned and a day later David Frum says they are missing?

Who da fuck is David Frum and how does he know?

Did you ask this question "Chloe"?

The report is about the UK and German Benin Bronzes that were returned to Nigeria a couple years ago.

This thread is STILL racist, and still reeks of misinformation / disinformation.

The part ineedhelp1 misses, is the FACT that I’m smart enough and savvy enough to question the OP’s racist, poorly supported nonsense, and then effectively / emphatically debunk it.

Injecting racism in all your rants makes you look like a fool. It proves you don’t have a clue as to what racism is all about. You use the term every time you open your mouth and it no longer means anything. Slinging adhominem doesn’t make you savvy it makes you petty.

If David Frum says there’s something fishy going on, it’s worth a read.

As to the OP, I have mixed feelings about returning loot. Finders keepers!

OP has not yet noticed the USA and Europe dropping into 3rd world status. Homeless people who can't afford museum admission have probably noticed.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has given the Benin Bronzes restituted by Germany to Oba Ewuare II, the head of Benin's former royal family.

On 23 March 2023, departing president Muhammadu Buhari declared by decree that all repatriated objects from the Benin Expedition, including those repatriated in the future, belong to the Royal Family in Benin City, thereby converting the bronzes into private property. Oba Ewuare II subsequently announced plans to put the bronzes in a future museum on or near his palace grounds.

European journalists noted that conditions under which the German government had returned Benin Bronzes were ignored by Buhari. The Museum of West African Art, the construction of which Germany had pledged €4 million, will most likely remain empty of bronzes. Swiss ethnologist Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin concluded that Germany's 2022 restitution policy was a fiasco.

They'll be on the private market and sold soon enough.....
