Time to tear down Madam Tinubu's statue by OK2NVME: 9:11am On Jun 12, 2020 |
The Statue of Edward Colston in Bristol was torn down and thrown into the canal by members of the Black Lives Matter movement. This was greeted by much cheers among Nigerians with some even suggesting the renaming of all vestiges of Colonial rule (including the name Nigeria). In this vain I am suggesting the tearing down of a statue of Madam Tinubu and the immediate implementation of original name of the square where her hideous statue stands to Independence Square. Tinubu Square was renamed Independence Square in 1960, but Lagosians still refer to it as Tinubu Square. The reasons for my suggestions are that Madam Tinubu was a notorious and unrepentant slave trader and owner. If we can applaud the demolition and removal of colonial and slave traders in the UK and that of Confederate Statues in the US, why in God's name are we still having a statue and a square named after one of the world's most vilest evil women? Also, since we are all about relieving ourselves from all tangles of colonialism and slavery, I am also suggesting the renaming of Lagos - a Portuguese word for Lagoon back to Eko; Calabar, which is actually Calabari and named by same Portuguese to Ekpe and so-forth and so-on. Bloody hypocrites!

The same frustrated OP made similar posts just yesterday but has failed to march down to Tinubu Square to do the needful. Or is he waiting for Government to do what protesters did in UK? 2 Likes |

[s] Throwback:[/s] The UK Government is now moving statues to muesums courtesy of their Muslim ministers who are using the excuse of slavers to remove statues that are considered haram in Islam. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11826454/protests-racist-statues-topple/ Mr Zahawi told Sky News: “My opinion is any slave trader should not have a statue. If the British Govt is doing so, then ours should as well in the spirit of Big Floyd the P0rnstar
