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. ๐ŸŽค โ€œThey 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: ๐Ÿ” Return what was stolen. ๐Ÿ“ข Respect our culture. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Restore our legacy. Let the world know: Benin is rising not just in glory, but with its soul restored. #beninbronzesreturn #culturaljustice #obaofbenin #stolenhistoryreturned #grownaija #africanheritage #legacyrestored #naijapride
