What has the queen death got to do with Nigeria internal political issues?

The royal family stole more than enough from everyone of their colonies over the years.

She directly inherited this wealth and never condemned how this wealth was gotten for once throughout her entire existence.

She is only "special" because of what her parents stole from my Ancestors and many like myself to build an empire not because of what she invented or the greatness she contributed to Humanity.

So I don't really care much about her death or existence, we will all die someday because we live to die.

My problem now are the people that suddenly made her death a Nigerian domestic political issue.

I don't believe her death or prior existence is consequential to the future of Nigeria.

I hope Bezoz would go around these irish tweets and be talking down on them.Ohh i forgot they aint africans so he wont.

ShaqFu:
to them it isn't. I believe this is a matter of opinion. If they want to celebrate, it's a free world. Those who want to mourn, they are free to mourn. For me, it's how do we get ourselves out of this sh1t hole we find ourselves in Nigeria.

SmartyPants:


Obedient fc. Interestng the kind of things you support.

Very soon they'll come along and claim Tinubu hired this one to discredit Peter Obi.

Young clowns!

Any way for your education, Uju Anya is a lecturer at a top US university which canot be compared with a random nobody on the net.

Have you gained some sense now? Good boy.

Ibrahimcoomasie:


You might want to look inward first before the blame game. It's very easy to blame Biafra war on one person because it's convenient to look for a villain. Are the below points true?

Azikiwe ensured that the secession clause was omitted from the Lancaster Conference of 1954 binding documents.

Kaduna Nzeogwu truncated our thriving regional democracy. Murdering the progressive political leaders.

Aguiyi Ironsi truncated regionalism and brought about unitary FG.....


Ojukwu plunged Igbos into the needless civil war....

jimyjames:


1) zik had no power to remove or put something into the constitution of British Nigeria, he was never that powerful, so stop the lies

2) there were a lot of people in that coup
nzeogwu was just one of them

3) ironsi proposed a Unitary system of governance he never destroyed it, they were 4 regions with 4 military governors when ironsi was head of state, he was on a tour to explain to leader's of all regions what the proposed unitary system of governance he wanted to introduce was all about when he was killed, besides it was going to be temporary

4) 30 thousands Easterners were killed all over Nigeria, they returned home and mandated ojukwu to take them out of Nigeria when all options to settle the crisis didn't work , so I wonder what you mean by needless war

Now you're talking. Personally I am totally indifferent to her death. Indifference spiced with a little nostalgia because, heck, she has been the Queen since I was born so seeing a new face on the throne whenever I read about news from that region will take some adjusting to.

My dear, me sef dey ponder japa options. The people fleeing the shithole are now so many that appointment dates for passport renewal is now stretching to December. I personally know someone who requested for 7th of September for capturing but instead got 6th of December. My guy, I shock

nahr:
Yet some people want to have Uju Anya hanged as if she is the only one on twitter who wrote negative things about the late queen.

Ibrahimcoomasie:

Lol
Even Zik won't talk that nonsense.

Zik aligned with the north to make sure that there was no succession clause in the constitution and doing so would amount to treason.

Ojukwu was lucky he fled. He would have been excited by firing squad if he was caught.

jimyjames:

You are not making sense my friend, the North were actually agitating to break away from Nigeria in the 40s 50s they didn't want to be in the same country with the South cause the South was better educated and British Nigeria worked only on Merit , level of education,


Why wasn't the president of biafra after ojukwu, Philipp effiong not executed by firing squad ? The war ended , no victor no vanquished , that was Gowons declaration cause at the end of it all the Nigeria, it was a self inflicted injury by Nigeria

jimyjames:

The queen had every power to end the war ,
1) she gave Nigeria independence just six yrs before the war
2) when Gowon and ojukwu went to aburi in Ghana to sign an agreement concerning what was happening to Eastern Nigerians all over Nigeria and how to prevent them from breaking away from Nigeria , all the demands of Easterners was agreed upon by Gowon, but when Gowon returned to Lagos the queens ambassador stopped Gowon from implementating what was agreed upon in Ghana which led to the civil war,
3) the queen sponsored the war by siding with Nigeria shipping weapons to support Nigeria to finish biafrans, warplanes, bomber's machine guns etc

TimmyA:
How does Peter Obi or Tinubu personality or view relate to the view of Prof Anya. Which one of them has passion against oppression of the masses either through direct or indirect stealing, killing, maiming of both the body and the mind of their subject or opposition

Mr James, the queen has zero power. Shenis allowed to perforn ceremonial roles that appear to have power but in reality all these decisions were taken by the prime minister and parliament.

That's the truth.

Ibrahimcoomasie:

Was Effiong the leader of the rebel? That was Ojukwu my friend. Ojukwu was the brain behind Biafra. No victor no vanquished doesn't make much sense. We all know Nigeria was the victor and Biafra the vanquished hence the cry up till now. E.g. Professor UJu's post.

It's common knowledge that Ojukwu always aligned with the north. Even when the North threatened to break away. He still aligned with the north becuase of greed.

Seefinish:
Why would some section of Nigeria won't mourn her? The woman supervised the killings of 3millions people of Eastern Nigeria.

jimyjames:


Effiong was the vice president of biafra and he was the president in the absence of ojukwu, that was why he had all the powers to surrender biafra to Nigeria in the absence of ojukwu



The North wanted to break away from Nigeria in the 50s so it makes no sense to say zik and the North didn't want succession in the British Nigerian Constitution, the North actually wanted to break away

jimyjames:

The prime minister is under the queen
