Nekpen Obasogie's Historical Trip To United Nations & Metropolitan Museum in New York

My experience in New York this past weekend was historical and ecstatic. I was privileged to mobilize some Edo Language Day Worldwide's Committee Members in the New York environ to the United Nations (UN headquarter in New York), we made a historic visit to Dr. Patricia Fadaka-Igbinovia and re-united with the statues of our ancestors (Benin Bronzes) at Metropolitan Museum in Manhattan, New York.  I had the opportunity to witness the full session of Benin traditional naming ceremony conducted by Lady Aghabiomon Ogbeiwi for her grandson. Stay tuned for the publications. ~~~ Nekpen Obasogie
