Queen Elizabeth’s Crown Not Her Own – Uju Anya by Islie: 11:33pm On Sep 11, 2022
By Gbenga Oloniniran

Nigeria-born American professor, Uju Anya, has made more comments on late Queen Elizabeth II of England, saying she was unapologetic and would stand by her words.

Anya, whose comments on Queen Elizabeth had sparked reactions across the world, further defended her comments, questioning how the Queen’s crown was gotten in the first place. She alleged that the crown was not her own but “plundered from the lands they exploited and extracted.”

She said this in an interview with foreign-based news platform, The CUT.

Anya said, “Queen Elizabeth was representative of the cult of white womanhood. There’s this notion that she was this little-old-lady grandma type with her little hats and her purses and little dogs and everything — as if she inhabited this place or this space in the imaginary, this public image, as someone who didn’t have a hand in the bloodshed of her Crown. How did she have that Crown? Even the crowns she wears are looted, and plundered from the lands they exploited and extracted from. The entire treasury is a legacy of thievery that was achieved by murder, by enslavement, and it didn’t stop after independence.”

Speaking on what the Twitter reactions she got after her comment was like for her, she said she had even been locked out of Twitter.

“I’m trying to do okay. I haven’t been on Twitter because I’m locked out, but the hate is coming into my email inbox. People are saying, ‘Oh, I don’t know what you’re on about because the queen oversaw the independence of Nigeria and Trinidad.’ That’s meaningless. They were still Commonwealth nations. They have independence in a figurehead way, while Britain installed puppet leaders that bowed to the queen.

“Even the name Nigeria is from the British. They created this fiction of a country by just arbitrarily drawing lines around territories and saying, ‘Okay, this belongs to the British; this is what we’re going to call it,” and joining independent nations who had nothing to do with each other, didn’t speak each other’s language. And also electing certain groups they favored to be the rulers. This is the history of the monarchy, and the queen was the head of the monarchy. Whether she was involved in day-to-day decisions or not, she existed because of those decisions. She never once opened her mouth to say sorry for the role of her government in the slaughter of three million civilians,” she told The Cut.

Her position has generated mixed reactions, with many hailing her while others said she went too far.

The unapologetic American professor, however, maintained that slavery and colonialism was not abstract to her, but caused direct pain to her.

“Coloniser is not an abstract term for me. It’s not just something I read about in history books or a word I throw around. It’s something that has directly affected my life and continues to through this day. It is deeply offensive for anyone to presume to tell me that I have to cry over the death of somebody who killed my people, or I have to be respectful in their passing. For what? Who are they to me except a violent oppressor?” She said.

She also said she did not wish the queen death but only wanted her to feel what others felt.

“In my tweet, I did not wish her death. I did not tell anyone to kill her. I said nothing except wishing her the pain in death that she caused for millions of people. There’s not going to be any apology from me. I stand by what I said. As a direct recipient of her governance and as the child of colonial subjects, I reserve the right to say what this woman’s life and monarchy and the history of the British monarchy as a whole means to me.

“Speak no ill of the dead’ is a weapon that’s levelled against the oppressed to silence them, to lionise oppressors, and to sanitise their history. What respect am I supposed to have for her, for her family? “Oh, well, her family is mourning her. My family is mourning as well,” Anya said.

It is now clear that this uncultured woman has a personal axe to grind with the late Queen.

Her defiant on continuous diatribe against the dead shows how harboured hatred & bitterness can leads to mental instability, depression & paranoia.

The greatest glory in living lies not in falling, but in rising every time we fall. The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

We can only move forward, not backward. Emotionally, she is justified, but rationally, there is no logical point for her actions.

A dark-heated lesbian like Uju is a disgrace to the intellectual community and to African values. In a typical African society, she should have been lynched for relishing the sex organ of fellow women.

This lesbian bitch was born in 1976, that was six years after the war. Six years after, the country was on it's pathway to recovery. Three years after her birth, an ibo man, Alex Ekwueme was elected the VP alongside Shagari. Ibos were in the seat of power 9 yrs after. Such has never been achieved anywhere else in the world in such a very short time. No rebels fought against the sovereignty of a country and was allowed close to power in 9 yrs, None ever!
She was mislead and misinformed by narratives written by Chinua Achebe-a man who fled into his grave, opening up fresh wounds at the time the country was healing. He dropped a book on his death bed without the courage to face fierce criticisms
Little was she informed about the role of Ojukwu in starving millions of biafrans.
https://www.nairaland.com/7325192/historical-excursion-how-ojukwu-starved
Little was she informed that biafra was heavily backed by France who supplied both Military and financial support on the side of biafra. Military planes called biafra babes were manned by European pilots, majorly, the French and swedish pilots. Fortunately or unfortunately, there can only be one winner on either side. Most likely, ibos could have been French speaking biafrans if they had had the victory. Would have been heavily indebted to the French Government who till today are defacto head of Government to all former French colonies in Africa.

Your ancestors must have been proud of a wonderful gift that denigrates ALL ibo men as a scum. Uju Anya is greater than Ojukwu and Azikiwe combined, greater than all balls dangling men in Alaigbo. The sick disgusting lesbian bitch deserves a giant statue to immortalize her at the heartland of Alaigbo.

All this research going on based Queen Elizabeth of England and hidden truths coming out , I take all of them as irrelevant researches, because she's already dead and lived a great age, enjoyed her life and maybe suffered others

But all this won't help matters.
The harm has already been done

Comments here are funny,she is talking about her hate for the Queen and gave reasons but you guys are talking about her hate for her without reason. I wonder who is right and who is wrong.

Hope we remember that Nigeria was a business enterprise for the British and that it was slave trade money that funded the industrial revolution? And at the heart of that is the Queen of England?

The deliberate damage that senile China Achebe caused to IBO psychic with blatant faulsehood and invented lies will continue to mislead the tribe for decades to come.
The man was pure evil creating mortal hatred in his tribe after goading Ojukwu on to lead their people into suicidal adventure blindly.
