Half Of My Family Were Slaughtered With Guns, Bombs Late Queen Elizabeth Sent To Kill Us During Civil War — US-Based Nigerian Prof, Uju Anya

While some, including Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, criticised her for her tweets, many, especially citizens of various African countries and the Irish, stood with her.

Professor Uju Anya, who is under fire for wishing the late Queen Elizabeth II 'excruciating' death before the longest-serving monarch in British history died, has explained why she made the remarks.

Anya on hearing the news of the deteriorating health of the Queen last Thursday before her eventual death made the controversial tweet which the management of the microblogging app later deleted, saying it violated its rules.

“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating,” Anya had tweeted.

However, despite the deletion of the tweet by Twitter, it continued to generate heated debate with many tweeps condemning her outburst while many others defended her.

While some, including Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, criticised her for her tweets, many, especially citizens of various African countries and the Irish, stood with her.

Reacting to Anya's tweet, Jeff Bezos wrote, “This is someone supposedly working to make the world better?

“I don’t think so. Wow."

But the Carnegie Mellon University professor who quickly defended her tweet responded to Bezos, writing, "Otoro gba gbue gi (Dysentery kill you). May everyone you and your merciless greed have harmed in this world remember you as fondly as I remember my colonisers.”

Uju in an interview with The Cut, published on Saturday, accused Queen Elizabeth II of sponsoring the “genocide” that led to the displacement of her family in Southeast Nigeria. 

She revealed that half of her family members were killed with weapons given to the Nigerian Army by the late British government with the support of the late monarch during the Biafran War of 1967-1970.

She said, "This wasn’t just something I just read about. I was born to colonial subjects on both sides of the family — one parent from Trinidad, where the British enslaved people, and one parent from Nigeria. 

"They met in England at university and moved back to Nigeria after independence in 1960. My parents were survivors of this genocide. My three siblings, two of them under the age of 10 at the time, were survivors. My mother was pregnant with my brother, who was born during that time; he was a war baby. This was the legacy I was born into in 1976. 

"I spent the first ten years of my life living in Nigeria, and there was always this specter of who was lost. My earliest memories were from living in a war-torn area, and rebuilding still hasn’t finished even today. Half of my family was slaughtered with guns and bombs that this queen sent to kill us."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, 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," she added. 

When asked how the backlash over the tweets affected her, She continued: "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 3 million civilians."

Afonja will start screaming she is hateful, wicked and bittered

Very sad, we should pause also to reflect on the families massacred by Biafran forces especially in the Mid-West.

BS...

Why all these insuits now......

just cos of common 3 million.isn't fair..

Hitler did worse than that to the Jews.. abi.

Omo!

One needs to fvk this abusive lady with a real dick (huge one ) not the one from her tribe...( omoyeebo's own)


Unless she will keep on talking like this ..

Her points are inspirational...
She have a great point.

Mid-west people were being massacred by skull miners in western region and are still being massacred till today .

100% correct sir... sir you are every good

it would immediately relief her from the misery

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.

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.

So on point. A pity most African tribes prefer enslavement to freedom. That's why down to their governors, the plunder continues all over Africa.

You're very correct. You know that blacks, especially African lives mean nothing. That's why even Chinese no dey value una. At least the queen suppose kill 30 million Igbos, come add Yoruba as Jara before e for make sense

What happened was genocide

Totilopussylick:

chibuso
Tomorrow is sit at home in igboland
We are patiently waiting for graphic pictures to be display here tomorrow

Mannerless and no home training woman, the Queen did not start the war or sent you to war, ojuku did that and in wars, countries pick sides and supporters, England supported Nigeria many other countries including France sent money and weapons to Biafra to kill Nigerians which they did so why are you crying.

Hypocrites and losers with zero sense of their own history.

Counties fight wars, they win or lose and move on, even becoming friends, but these emotionally and mentally underdeveloped people are stil ranting, still trying to blackmail and hold hostage over their lose.

Now, they are showcasing their world famous foolery and stupidity for the world to see.

Your greatest threat and challenge is in Igbo land where your own terrorist brothers are wrecking havoc on your lives, day to day realities, economic, culture and societal way of life. Terrorist took away your basic human rights, freedom of movement. They decide when you can go out to make a living or when to stay at home or get slaughtered and your businesses destroyed, they behead your people everyday and throw them inside shalanga, your can not register to vote because your terrorist brothers won't let it happen, they shoot and kill your own innocent people trying to register to vote...but this attention seeking and clueless woman is worried about the dead Queen when in fact worst atrocities committed by her own people are being carried out in her own communities back in Nigeria.


It's one thing to express genuine grievance which wasn't what she did, she basically spewed vile, toxic, disgusting, inhumane and unbecoming rubbish.

What a sad shame.

awolowo was busy developing western region, British don’t have issues with yorubas.
Meanwhile,Ojuwku was busy sending ibos to their early grave cos of his selfish gain

Lost an uncle to the war.


Son,Forgive......but forget not is the story!!

Pathetic

It's convenient for her to ignore this other side of the story.

Queen didn't start the war, ojukwu did

I support criticism of the monarchy (not in her cantankerous manner though) but I will not agree with anybody rewriting history. The British has nothing to do with Biafra with due respect to all concerned.
Some few chose Biafra war, majority supported it emotionally. The 2 sides of the war formed alliances and one won. It could have gone the other way. The only reason we are still having the conversation is because the victor chose to be magnanimous in victory.
You miscalculated; started and lost a war. Rest it and take responsibility. #Bittertruth.

The role of the British govt in the war is very clear they can't hide from their share of the genocide committed against the Biafran side.
Anyways I look back and marvel at what we have accomplished even after the War.
Btw the war was not just a territorial battle,it was also a fight to stamp our stand on intimidation and oppression and Igbo did that loud and clear for the whole world to see.
Comot the food blockade the War would have continued bcus the spirit of the defenders was never for one day broken.
War was fought,no Victor no Vanquish declared,now we are back in the Union,all we seek for is a Country that at least works to provide the basic needs a Country.

Hmm

An average Nigerian person found it hard to speak the truth especially if he/she is benefiting
