Now, it's been unanimous agreed that the artifact be repatriated to Nigeria, from where it was looted in the 19th century. Many international media including the U. K Guardian have been written about it this year, but it seems Nigeria is too bedeviled with the issue of Naira depreciation to care about one of its cultural heritages.
