You're thankful to a murderous nation, war mongers, colonist, slave traders and exploitative Britian which has never meant well for us and black people all around the world. Sometimes, i wonder if black people are cursed. I spits on Britain and i stand for #BIAFRA.

African people need to go back to history... Read and research people..

I have been thinking about this for a while. The British observe Remembrance day, Americans observe veteran and memorial day, the French and others observe armistice day.

Why can't we have a day in Nigeria to observe our fallen heroes, people who fought for our independence, the soldiers and civilians who lost thier lives during the civil war (both on Nigerian and Biafran sides), people brutally killed fighting for democracy during the military era. The list goes on.

If we are serious about building a united nation, we should remember and pay our respect to these ones. Just my thought.
wow! are you even a Nigerian? how can you not know that Nigeria celebrates her Armed Forces Remembrance Day around the month of Februaryhuh

The environment is a testament as how organized the people are.

Nigerians should learn from these.

You want to thank the Brits for burning down Benin?

I don't stand for Biafra and I don't believe that black people are 'cursed' but old habits died hard.

I stand for full federalism, everything else that you've said is correct.

Why should this be celebrated in Nigeria? What is the stand of British government in Nigeria today? How have they helped The economy? And security wise, what have they offered to strengthen the government against Boko Haram and other menace. Now we are celebrating them in our motherland. We didn't even celebrate the US government that has been by us all these while. This is absolutely rubbish. Our government need to rethink and take its stand on its citizens.

We thank the British for slavery and Christianity. It has helped our pastor fly on private jets.Especially Kumuyi
You are apparently oblivious of the trash that comes out of your mouth. It's obvious you don't even know Nigerian pastors and can't distinguish one from the other. If you knew them, you would not be mistaking Kumuyi for somebody else. That is one man of God who has distinguished himself from others.

Sorry to insult you but stop acting like a mumu and use your brain. Can't you see that it's the British Diplomats in Nigeria that are celebrating their Remembrance day as it is done today in Britain.Did you see Buhari or any Nigerian Govt official there except maybe a representative from the Federal Govt.

How do you know he is different?
Re: British Remembrance Day Service Held In Abuja by Nobody:
Hear yourself.

How could open your mouth and call a people your master?.

Stop using the language of your persecutor to define yourself.

Colonial is a sanitised word created by the evil white to describe a period of inhuman perpetration of genocidal holocaust and exploitation against us.

Strike off the words created by the white man to describe his crime and let us choose our own words, even African word to describe that period even if we have to create a new word.

Imagine if common criminals were allowed to choose the give names to their crimes?

Stealing may be called 'sharing or wealth redistribution'
Rape may have been named "persuasive sex"
Kidnapper may call themselves "colonial masters"

Just because some Africans were forcibly removed from Africa, and called slaves doesn't mean we should accept that label.

Nobody calls himself a slave by their own free will.
We should find our own description those Africans that suffered that particular ordeal.

If they choose to, the Israelis could call themselves the colonial masters of Palestinians.

During world war 2, the German could call the Jews their slaves.

The Germans left to their own devices may call thier actions against Jews a sanitized word of their choosing, had they won, the war.

However because they lost, the Americans and Jews created the word holocaust to describe it.

What of the civil war remembrance?

later Jare
Must you comment.

It is British Rememberance service not Biafra obituary.It is in Rememberance of British service men who have lost their lives in service to the Crown.

It is observed in the British High Commission and different embassies worldwide because that's British soil and it must be observed as it is in the homeland-Britain.

You can't change history. Am only stating the obvious. Whatever hatred you have towards them can't change the fact that they gave us our independence.

maybe it is assumed dt Jan. 15 armed forces remembrance day settles it; tho it's nt a holiday
Re: British Remembrance Day Service Held In Abuja by Nobody: 2:28pm On Nov 10, 2015
Please do not call them your colonial master.

Refer to them as the evil scum they were.

I really understand that the problem is that they are giving us the words for us to use to describe them and to describe ourselves. I believe that for us to be truely free to actualise our full potential we should immediately start creating our own language and write our own history.
