A new museum has been set up to celebrate the Benin Bronzes but the monarch opposed the idea. As I’ve said before, this all stems from the root problem—seeing these items just as art, when they mean a lot more to their owners. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n... #Nigeria

The truth is there has been violence against Christian communities in the north and middle belt for as long as I can remember. Yes, other communities face violence too, but Christian lobby groups have been tallying these events for many many years, and campaigning for them. #Nigeria
