Are the so-called returned artefacts worth the time and energy the chiefs and people who troop thereto look at them? You will soon realised after they have left that it's just a token.

ITS FOR ASANTEMAN NOT GHANA. THIS IS STRICTLY ASHANTI MONEY. LIKE THE JEWS AFTER WW2 , ASHANTIS SHOULD SUE THE BRITISH FOR COMPENSATION .THE MONEY SHOULD BE USED TO CLEAN KUMASI.

It's war and these are the benefits of winning a war. The British took advantage of it and you can't blame them. You can't sue them.

There we go, the people whose forefathers couldn't unite their tribal people and left behind jealousy and envy. Have the audacity to spew rubbish. Now they're claiming the artefacts belong to their forefathers after they lost the wars against the Ashantis. Shameful people since their forefathers trained them to evil and jealousy behaviour nothing has changed from them. Mumu people. Kudos to the Ashantis.

The White man. We Africans should sit up and think deep about ourselves because these people are nothing more than thieves who came to us with malice and the rest was history.

If you are returning them to Asante, then find who the original owners were. Asante looted these artefacts from others just as the British looted them from Asante. They were other forgotten peoples treasures.

Hwɛ ne kwasua, the land of Asante has been known to have large deposits of Gold, so Asantehene at that time having such large volume of gold is nothing. Some of our grandparents were in possession of gold dust which they bequeathed to their children, so it’s silly and stupid on your part to think that those gold belongs to other tribes. If you know those who were the owners, take Otumfour and Asanteman to court and get it back to them, Gyimifour, while ancestors were chasing sardines and wines, our forefathers were seriously looking for gold and working hard in the farms.

This clearly shows that because of gold, the reason why they destroyed the city and the kingdom, bring us all the gold dust and the artefacts looted back to us.

Manhyia should take Britain to the International Court to reclaim all the stolen Asante properties. Go to the UN through UNESCO or the International Court to reclaim them permanently, and not on this nonsense loan. Britain made laws that allowed them to profit financially from slavery, and they have a law with which they are profiting from theft. That stealing law is immaterial in regards to stolen goods.
