Hmmmm

How do we know it's not a counterfeit.

What does this sculptor represent? Does it really have any significance to Nigerians? Do we have minister who is capable of using this to better tourism in Nigeria? Mexico, please you are better at safekeeping than the keepers in my country so we implore you to keep it

More than impressed by Mexico's sterling example. Other countries, complicit in the theft of Nigerian heritage, over the centuries should return their loot to Nigeria.

Hope the god in it came along!
