My Life Under Threat Over Queen Elizabeth’s Tweet – Uju Anya by afroniger(op): 5:13pm On Sep 14, 2022

By Godfrey George

14th September 2022

Nigerian-born American professor, Uju Anya, has said her life has been under threat since her Thursday tweet on the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Anya, who is a Professor of Second Language Acquisition, Department of Modern Languages, Carnegie Mellon University, United States of America, spoke exclusively to The PUNCH on Sunday afternoon.

Anya, on Thursday, at the news of the Queen’s ill health wrote, “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.”

Although the tweet had since been deleted for violating ‘Twitter rules’, Anya confirmed to The PUNCH that her account had also been ‘logged off’ of the micro-blogging site for the same reason.

She accused Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, of inciting the public against her and putting her in harm’s way.

Bezos, rumoured to be a huge donator to the school Anya teaches, had quoted her post, saying, “This is someone supposedly working to make the world better? I don’t think so. Wow.”

Anya had replied Bezos, “May everyone you and your merciless greed have harmed in this world remember you as fondly as I remember my colonisers.”

In an interview with our correspondent on Sunday, Anya noted that some persons were impersonating her and had linked her to the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, which, according to her, is false.

She said, “I feel like my life is in danger. I don’t feel safe anymore because of these lies being peddled around against me. I left Facebook four years ago. I don’t have a Facebook account. People are putting out fake statements, saying I am a member and financier of IPOB or Independent Biafra or any political candidate like that, and they are using a fake Facebook account that bears my name. It is a lie. There is nothing like that.


“Some online blogs have been peddling fake rumours about me. I have not issued any statement since Thursday. The PUNCH is the first and (will be) the only Nigerian medium I have spoken to.

“It is urgent that the world knows that these people are trying to put me in harm’s way. Nothing that anybody sees with my name on Facebook is true. I am not a member of IPOB.

“They are using me for political movements and messages that I do not align with, and they are seriously damaging me and my safety.

“This is going to be a huge problem for me. What if the Nigerian government considers me a terrorist and wants to arrest me? They are putting my life in danger.”

Nigeria won't take it lightly if anything bad happens to our daughter Uju Anya. Nigerians are ever ready to take the war to the enemies of this brave woman if she suffers any attack. In fact Nigerian youths are ready for battle in case we hear her cry.

Another touching useless Story of an insignificant woman filled with so much hate for the dead to gather emotional pity.

You are leaving out Gen. Ojukwu who plunged the igbos into needless war that killed over 2million people including children.

Leaving out bunch of corrupt igbo leaders(including your saviour, OBI) who has plunged the south-eastern into a barren, unproductive, poverty ridden Land due to greed and massive looting.

Leaving out the average igbos who have decided not to sit back and develop their land but go around different state dragging ownership with the indigenes claiming Lagos is for everyday.

Leaving out the igbo youth, who have ran the south-east little dignity left into the mud. Because they couldnt think of any other productive thing to do other than engaging and dealing in hard drugs. That they even had to name one in pure igbo - Mkpurumiri

........the list is endless

But she is Going after a 96years old dead queen. Who lived her life to the fullest. Who doesnt even know she mrs. uju exist while she(the queen) was alive and even now that she is dead.

How useless you and your opinion are, Mrs.UJU... How useless you are....

Phase 3 will involve soliciting for donations from the gullible to fight for "freedom".

This idiots are so predictable.

Tinubu urchins that now loved the Queen more than the queen's family and the whole of England just because a noble Igbo daughter said the bitter truth about the late monarch, what their men couldn't even say to Fulani terrorîsts that chase them out of their ancestral land, let alone a whole queen, will come here now and start spitting out their hates as usual, as If Beautiful Uju cares about them or their usêlèss existence.

Inwardly, they wish they have someone like Uju in their region, but hate won't allow them admit this.

There is freedom of speech
But the freedom after speech is not guaranteed

Well you had it coming
Just like we have fanatic religious people in Nigeria

Same way we have extremist fans of the queen.

I hope it all ends well

Because if anything happens to you
Nigerians will only wail

Nothing government go do for you

igbos hardly think about the consequences of their actions
All I observe about them is that they only live for the moment

They killed other peoples leaders without killing theirs n never thought about d consequences

They abolished regional government without thinking about d consequences n now na them shout restructuring pass

Nnamdi Kanu said he will go to Abuja n bring d head of a sitting president n he never thought of what could b d consequences

Uju insulted d queen n here she is screaming blue murder

A sharp difference between common sense n emotions

A sharp difference between wisdom n chest beating

Whenever people like this have to look for what Igbos did, they have to go back 50 or 60 years back in time, just to hide the fact that it is them that have messed Nigeria up for the last 50 years since the war ended

You have to stand by your words.

You waited till she died to utter your beliefs.
