  This is a very smart move or else the thief will never return the stolen property. Once it is safely back in our possession, we should never give it back to the thieves. They can take us to the international court of justice and see how they can justify their case.

  Now, how does a civilized person goes to an uncivilized person and steal something? Does it make sense at all? Some of us have argued that our forefathers didn't invite the pink skin man to our abode rather they came with force and turn the gun on us so, they colonized us with force.
  
  That said, why should the looted items be loaned to us instead of giving it back to its owners?
  
  Now, here is my humble message to Africans who see themselves as inferior to the so-called white man, you don't know who you are or, what you have tell you lose it.
  
  This article should tell us that despite what descriptive words used on us, the civilized man envied us from the onset.

  Don't worry my fellow Ghanaians. When the loan period is due, we shall return a fake one just as we did for the golden stool

  Allowing a thief to loan to you what he has stolen from you? This is unbelievable!! Maybe the word 'loan' is an euphemism for the word 'return ' to avoid embarrassing the UK government.
