Clowns! The British monarchy is just ceremonial. No executive power

Do they even know amount of money that the monarchy brings into uk economy from tourism?

And some Nigerians that have thousands of kings in their villages are supporting the protesters. Hypocritical clowns!
They have powers bro. They sign bills to become law.

Three factors playing out:

1. The King isnt as popular as the Late queen Elizabeth. The people are not use to the change yet and they dont seem like they want to or going to get use to it anytime soon.

2. The Late Princess Diana death is still playing against everyone in the royal family. The Citizens still looking for scapegoats.
Queen Camillia is always the victim here.

3. I think the citizens are tired of not being able to elect their leader themselves. They want a president not some fancy kingdom with kings and queens.

They wish to vote their leader themselves. They want to be the decider and for that to happen, they need to scrap the monarchy system entirely.

Not very possible with the way things stand.

very very wrong. where did you come up with all these?

also I consider it foolish for people to fight the royal family. First of all, what is the origin of the royal family?

Imagine a group of people coming together to say they want to pull down your family heritage. You sef reason am.

To me only a foolish and jobless person will go out fighting the royal family of England, plus the fact that you are bunch of nobodies that the world doesn't give a Bleep about.

There is a reason why there is Monarchy. It is not a fancy elite family sitting on the wealth of England.

They are not foolish. My family heritage is only personal to me and my extended family. But the royal family lords over millions of people, reason why the citizens of UK are called Subject. They are subjected to the royal family. So voicing out their opinion about their 'Lords' is not foolishness.

Human crave for change is also natural.

oga nobody will take down the monarchy because people protested.

Do you know the origin of the family?

Let's go to your village, now imagine people saying we should take down all the kings and rulers in Nigeria, why? Because people think they are not useful. Does that make sense to you?

in Nigeria we all subjects bro... Citizens is just a fancy word 🤣 you are still under control and laws.

Besides, under the royal family exists three arms of government, the same arms that African governments have so what is the point of protesting.


Do you think if the royal family is eliminated that UK will be better? 🤣 Bros abeg close this matter

No. They do not want the monarchy because:
- They have continued to live extravagant lives while the average Briton suffers, more taxes, higher cost of living, etc. Including the money spent on this coronation as a state event. Figures they won't make public due to backlash. But speculations say £250 million of state money. There are more food banks here in the UK than ever before.

- The colonial past and present. The deeds have come to light. Most people are no longer ignorant of what happened under the Monarchy with commonwealth countries.

- People like Prince Andrew with paedophile charges still walking free because he is a member of the Royal Family.

- We will have a Diana over a Camilla. She was an epitome of class, beauty, intelligence, and empathy. She never let royalty get to her head. We see that in Harry. Camilla was a side chick who was allowed into their marriage by the current King, then Prince Charles. And no, she can never fit in Diana's shoes.

Imagine if this protest was in Nigeria you will hear news like: 10 people killed during on going protest, while thousands of others arrested for treasonable offenses for trying to overthrow the king, but here in the pictures you can only see police maintaining law and orders because they know protest is the right of the people, may we find our steps back to where we get it wrong in Jesus name because our thinking is quite different from the rest of the world 🌎 R.I.P to those who died in Endsars protest and various protest around Nigeria may God give them peace as our nation failed them n cut short their lives
