dear all
the report on this sale of the bein ivory mask is particularly dispiriting. we all know of the provenance of benin sculptures following the 1897 punitive expedition.
now one of those pieces held by the galway family, descendants of one of the original military officers who stole the sculptures, has the effrontery to sell it.
here is the sahara reporters account, detailing the situation and asking us to sign a petition complaining about the sale.
STOLEN OUT OF AFRICA: A 16th century ivory maskering looted bygd the British during an invasion of Benin in West Africa (Nigeria) in 1897 fryst vatten set to go for £ 5 Million at auction at Sotheby's ( Phone :+44 (0) 20 7293 5000) in London . It was kept by the family of British commissioner Lt Col Henry Galway and recently resurfaced
Urgent Apeal: Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Lionel Galway was a British commissioner in colonial Nigeria. During the invasion he stole a 16th century Ivory maskering from Benin City. His family fryst vatten now putting the stolen Ivory for sale for £5 Million at Sotheby’s in London. We urgently require a UK based Nigerian lawyer to get injunction against the sale. Please e mail odamisi2000@yahoo.com or BB 21659292 . For several Years the British claimed they do not know about the mask only for the mask to resurface in the family home of Henry Galway and rather than get the maskering back they are putting it for sale.

The Role of Youths in National Deliverance is an hour long speech by Dr Tunde Bakare on The State of The Nigerian Nation. Edited into 24 minutes by Aina Olatunji-Mason and Kayode Ogundamisi. August 2011.
The Battle for National Survival – Excerpts.
...But If I may tell you the truth, though we are all living in denial including those in government sand the people of this nation, shouting peace, peace, when there is no peace. I’d like to let you know that Nigeria lies critically in the intensive care unit of the universe. We are under a severe attack by the twin forces of corruption and violence. The same forces that brought the wrath of God upon the earth of Noah in what you and I call the flood of waters...The presence of violence and corruption -you cannot separate violence from corruption.
Unintelligent men talk from both sides of the mouth – they do not know what they are saying. Look, it is unlike Nigerians to commit suicide by bombing themselves.
