The book is about repatriating Nigerian artefacts abroad. Some of the world’s most cherished cultural objects belong to Nigeria, but most of the identified ones among them are outside the shores of Nigeria. This book hopes to start a momentum that will lead to Nigerian artefacts being returned. However, the countries where these removed artefacts are presently lodged are not very enthusiastic about effecting the repatriation of the artefacts to Nigeria or that of other nations who suffer the same fate as Nigeria to those nations. The nations in possession weave a web of some unusual but intriguing claims to these artefacts. Source nations like Nigeria, believe, and justly so, that they have legal and moral claims to these artefacts. The book presents the difficulties and hope surrounding the concept of return.
