There's renewed debate on social media over the safekeeping of ancient Benin Bronzes that have been returned to Nigeria. It was triggered by Canadian-American political commentator David Frum who talked on X about predictions he had made that Benin artifacts returned to Nigeria would disappear. Nigerians X are among those now lashing out over his comments. It comes 24 hours after the Netherlands returned over 100 Benin Bronzes to Nigeria, more than a century after the culturally significant sculptures were looted. The handover took place at the National Museum in Lagos. The bronzes are part of numerous artefacts looted by colonialists who and held by museums in Europe. In recent years, Germany, the US, Ireland and Scotland have returned Benin Bronzes. #DWAfrica #nigeria
