The next keynote speaker is His Exelency, Hon. Ibe Reginald Ugonna as Honorable COMMISSIONER for Culture and Tourism, Enugu State, he mentions various information about culture and tourism in Africa.Mama Africa has been bleeding. Yes, it has been bleeding for far too long. Over half of its cultural legacies are outside the continent. The colonial siege on its cultural artifacts that took place centuries ago barred its historical womb and left an empty space. "Cultural," they say, defines tradition, and tradition defines one’s identity. Losing them implies losing one's identity. Some of the lost artifacts convey the soul of the traditional people and the empire from which they originated.
The African people's cultural patrimonies are on exhibit in foreign museums, while the local people's pure traditions, artifacts, and history are endangered (lack of proof within their own regional traditional space), with the hope that they will be returned one day. A frantic call to return the cultural artifacts (by African leaders) has been well received by some European governments, and some are adamant. A mutual action to repatriate the stolen cultural artifacts would undoubtedly help restore the lost soul of the African people and traditions.
The recent recovery of certain cultural objects (in figure 2) caused tremendous excitement to the locals, andhope that all of them would be returned in the future to rebuild their lost cultural legacy. Poliwangi-W2POINTS joins the solidarity call for African lost artifacts to be returned and the restoration of African heritage and civilization. We are joining our voices with African cultural leaders in demanding the repatriation of all the looted artifacts in different museums globally back to their roots or origins in Africa.
