The British Virgin Islands High Court judgment cited the bilateral investment treaty between China and Nigeria, which states that both parties commit to enforcing the award. This, according to the court, constitutes written consent from the Nigerian state, allowing Zhongshan to enforce the judgment debt against Nigeria from the UK.

The Nigerian Presidency has announced plans to appeal a recent British Virgin Islands High Court judgment granting Chinese firm Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Ltd. the right to seize $25 million worth of Nigerian foreign assets.

As a member of RCCG (Redeemed Christian Church of God) on Banana Island, Lekki, I shared Jesus' love with African construction workers (18-40) from DR Congo, Liberia, Benin Rep, Togo, Ghana, and Niger, living adjacent to the British quarters on the island. Their supervisor, an elderly RCCG pastor from Ebute Meta, ironically forbade them from attending church with me.

Despite this, I consistently invited them to RCCG, preached, and prayed with them often. However, it seemed like my efforts yielded no fruit.

After relocating to the mainland to care for my grandma, I attended LFC (Living Faith Church) Ota. On my third or fourth Sunday, I witnessed a miraculous breakthrough. The toughest skeptic among the construction workers stood up, accepting Jesus publicly! Unbeknownst to him, I was in the congregation, and my heart swelled with joy and tears.

My labour wasn't wasted. I think God wanted me to know that my dedication and love had made a lasting impact. Sometimes, we may not see immediate results, but God's seeds of love always bear fruit.

Don't give up on people.
Pray persistently, even after rejection.

Don't give up yet.

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.
