    Its time for our forensic scientist to conduct thorough test to ensure that the returned skeleton is indeed the right one. I for once do not trust white people. Not because of hatred but because history has taught me so. Chances are the Germans will construct a lookalike skeleton and return it to our country, and our "impetuos" leaders will be the first to pose for a photo opportunity without the thought of authenticizing the skeleton.
