The founder of Godsent Foundation, Chief Osarodion Osagie, has congratulated the Oba of Benin Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Oba Ewuare II, on the celebration of 5th anniversary on the throne of his forefathers.

Dr. Osagie also rejoiced with the Oba for the return of some of the Benin artifacts looted to Europe and now scattered across different European countries, saying he was amongst the first youths who traveled to the Europe to join forces with His Royal Majesty on the call for the repatriation of the Benin bronze looted several years ago.

Ambassador Osagie who, in a SMS he made available to our reporter, said all Benin sons and daughters who desires the Benins to continually dominate across board, should join his Royal Majesty in the celebration, further noted that “this historic achievement is what keeps us together as a race.”

The message reads: “I’m one of the first persons who promises myself that the Western world must return that which belongs to us as a kingdom that was looted the decades ago.

“I’m the first youth who traveled to Europe to join forces with our Royal Majesty requesting they return our treasure-the bronze cast is the trace of the Benins and securing this safe release, in spite of the humongous challenges, two out of the thousands of artefacts looted is now in their right place.

“The return of the two prized Benin artefacts recently handed over by Jesus College, Cambridge and the University of Aberdeen, both in Britain was made possible because of our Royal father’s determination. No doubt, this event has attracted increased global respect for the Great Benin Kingdom and your reign.

“Since the return of the artifacts has commenced, I personally look forward to more returns of looted artefacts from UK, Germany and other Countries directly to their original base. But if there is any further delays, I shall again do another trip from the United States of America to those places and push for it because I have done it before,” Dr. Osagie added.

Popular Nigerian musician, Asake, has finally reconciled with his father, his daughter and baby mama.

The reconciliation move came after he was called out online for abandoning them after he became rich and famous.

In March 2025, Asake’s father, Fatai Odunsi, who is a stroke survivor, also called him out for abandoning him.

Following the backslash from netizens, including some celebrities, Asake reached out to his father and promised to finance his medical bills and also buy him a house.

However, a trending photo of the singer with his father, which surfaced online on Friday morning, signaled a return to harmony.

This came a few days after Asake reunited with his daughter and his baby mama.
