A monumental chapter in Nigeriaโs cultural revival was written this week as Oba Ewuare II received 119 Benin artefacts looted during colonial invasions, now returned by the Netherlands.
These priceless treasures, stolen over a century ago, are not just art, they are symbols of identity, dignity, and resistance for the Benin Kingdom and all of Africa.
๐ค โThey may have taken our bronzes, but not our pride. Today, they return not just artefacts, but stolen history,โ echoes the spirit of the moment.
This is more than restitution, it is justice, it is healing, and it is a loud call to other nations still holding our heritage:
๐ Return what was stolen.
๐ข Respect our culture.
๐ก๏ธ Restore our legacy.
Let the world know: Benin is rising not just in glory, but with its soul restored.
