The UK didn't force us to do anything here Oga.

We = Leaders means that all over the world, elected leaders 'represent' their peoples. If our leaders choose to fly half mast, it means we have done so.
Maybe not you. But we (Nigeria) through its officially elected government.


If the leaders steal money and use to train their kids abroad, does that mean "we" have done so?

Has Nigeria not commiserated with the UK? Of what use is flying flags half mast for a person you say was of no value to Nigeria?

What is the correlation between "We (leaders) chose to do so" and "the UK didn't have to"?

When Yar Adua died, the same British played a key role in exposing his death. Your so called country men wanted Yar Adua's corpse to remain in power.

We will fly our flags at half-mast and there's nothing you will do about it.

What role did Britain play in exposing yar aduas death when he died?

The British also ushered in the Industrial revolution and other inventions that have dramatically increased the quality of life, world over. I hope you don't use any of those inventions too.

Oh you use English. And don't tell me you were forced by colonialism. No. Almost no Nigerian language was made extinct by colonialism.
So we'll do you.

Cheers.

Very absurd comparison. Stealing is clearly a crime.

A decision such as flying flags at half mast or not is NOT a crime. why equate both decisions?

Mumu leaders.

Honouring someone who was of no benefit to Nigeria

Rather She and her ancestors played a part directly or indirectly in looting our resources and destroying our culture.

Till now our cultural artifacts are still in British museums and the money generated from their display was what was used to maintain this thieving monarchy.

May her soul rest in pieces.

WITHIN the ambits of what's not illegal, our leaders make decisions (wrong or right for us) that's how democracy works.

Our leaders can't decide to steal because that's ILLEGAL.

P.S. You disagreement should be at our leaders NOT the UK who aren't forcing us here.

If you live in Lagos, the government decided to ban Okada (commercial motorcycles) in almost all urban LGAs. I disagree with that decision but can I challenge him? No. Sad but that's how things are.

Regardless, I am fearless and would never keep quiet in times of injustice or if im angry at a system

she was our former head of state from 1960 to 1963,so its normal for our flag to be flown at half mast to honour her demise, may her soul rest on peace.

I'm very sure that your lineage is one of the reasons why some slaves worshipsa their master, because im sure your fore fathers that were slaves would be happy,i mean being enslaved would be their greatest achievement,so i understand where you are coming from

Nevertheless, one reasons why they came to Africa is due to our technology. And civilization/invention started in Africa way before the slave trade. We have our different ways of doing things, you need to learn history at least, maybe that would help edit your eenslaved brain
We were sufficient before the white meen came, they had where they were better than us and we have where we are better than them. Thats why they stole many of our artifacts, that is still present in their museums till today. If they were better thaan us in all ramifications,they wouldn't need to steal our Artistries, and also wouldn't even need to enslavee us
Well,i will stop here,its a disgrace you think you will be better off as a slave

how does Yar adua death concern the British government or the late Queen, cos am confused. Yar adua was never the head of State or Governor for the United Kingdom, but Nigeria, Queen Elizabeth II was our Nigerian head of state till 1960 when we got independence from UK our flag has to be half flown because she was equivalent to a former president, you guys should just disgracing yourself online, go and read on governance.

You need to stop this mister. Your posts are worse than prof Anya’s. You are spreading hate and mischief using the anonymity of Nairaland.

What you are doing is vile and should be condemned by Seun, mods of Nairaland and all right thinking people.
