A dual citizen of Nigeria and the United Kingdom has been jailed in the United States of America (USA).

The US Department of Justice explained how the British-Nigerian committed the fraud.

Nigeria's most recognized artifacts are the Benin Bronzes.

The Benin Bronzes are a collection of over 1,000 intricate bronze plaques and other artifacts that were looted by British colonial forces during the Benin Expedition of 1897. They originated from the Benin Empire (present-day Edo State, Nigeria) and date back to the 13th-16th centuries.

The Benin Bronzes are renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, historical significance, and cultural importance. They depict various aspects of Benin royal life, mythology, and daily activities, providing valuable insights into Nigeria's rich cultural heritage.

Some notable examples of the Benin Bronzes include:

1. The Oba's head
2. Queen Mother Idia's ivory mask
3. Bronze plaques depicting royal ceremonies
4. Portable altars

Efforts are ongoing to repatriate the Benin Bronzes from museums worldwide, particularly in the UK, back to Nigeria, acknowledging their cultural ownership and significance.

The problem with being British... I don't know if it's me being British or being raised a strict Catholic, but you never really enjoy success.

The test of leadership for David Cameron was actually to bring the British Conservative Party back in to the mainstream.

This is a clay pot at the British Museum... And this clay pot was molded by the good people of Ikwerre in 1916.

You can see how it's boldly written there, Ikwerre Southern Nigeria Igboland.

Note: People of Nkwerre in Present day Imo state and People of Ikwerre in the present day of River state are the same people.
