    Benin City lies at the heart of the Bini culture that was famous for producing highly sophisticated bronze artwork some of which is only on display in British museums. Today due to corruption it is one of Nigeria's most run-down ancient cities.

    To date, the Benin Kingdom is unique. This is the only place in the History of Slavery that opposed the invasion of Africa by the whites in quest for slaves.Benin has one of the Best University in Nigeria (University of Benin). Her competence in art and culture is almost as old as the history of Africa. Please come and see for your self!
