their love for slavery and slave business is second to non. Afonjas are always happy with their slave masters

Chiedu4Trump:
This is a valid opinion

Why honour someone who sold us ?

Main reason was the atrocities they did to trigger the civil war, those they did during the war. And immediately after the war.

After the war, for example, igbos with bank account were given 20 pounds even if the person had thousands in the account before the war.

That's why many igbos didn't use banks till the late 90s. One millionaire alaba spare parts dealer i knew who died in 98 kept her money under the rug in her parlor.

A Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said the statue of Late Madam Efunporoye Tinubu should be removed from Lagos State.
The statue of the late Madam is standing at the popular Tinubu Square in Lagos.

Fani-Kayode's comments came after
#BlackLivesMatter protesters in the United States of America and other parts of the world pulled down statues of known slave masters.
The protesters were on the street to protest the death of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis policemen knelt on his neck as he screamed, “I can't breathe."

As a way of putting an end to racism and the agelong discrimination between the whites and blacks, the protesters pulled down statues of Edward Colston and others.

In his reaction on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode said it was time for Nigerians to pull down statues of slave owners like Madam Tinubu.

According to him, a nation that continues to honour people who involved in slave trade is unjust and insensitive.

He said:

Iyalode Efunporoye Tinubu was a known slave trader who used proceeds from slave trade to acquire wealth and landed properties in Lagos.

Very charming, charismatic and influential, Tinubu was the link between the white men and the hinterlands. History says she was very powerful, especially with fact she was married to Prince Adele, who saw her when she came to Abeokuta in 1833. An indigene of Gbagura Abeokuta, Efunporoye Tinubu was the wealthiest woman in Yorubaland in the 19th century.

According to history, she was the only one controlling 360 slaves and trade routes with European merchants. As a queen, she was instrumental to the installation of Obas in Lagos. She was said to have helped in fighting against European domination of her people.

Since 1852, when she died, Madam Efunporoye Tinubu remains indelible.
But Fani-Kayode said she should not be immortalise for being the one selling Africans as slaves to the white men during her time.

FFK may be a loudmouthed GADFLY but if and if records clearly and truly show that late Madam Efunporoye Tinubu was a FACILITATOR in slave trade system that kidnapped Africans from their villages and sold them into slavery in foreign lands, then her statue should be pulled down immediately.

It means Madam Efunporoye Tinubu was part of system that took late George Floyd's foreparents to US in the first place thereby making his murder possible.

It means that Madam Efunporoye Tinubu is no different from that murderous white Minneapolis policeman that killed George.

It means at times like this, Madam Efunporoye Tinubu should in the trial dock of the court of time.

FlordFlorez:
Another one had been pulled down in Belgium. He was even their king. So, let yorubas pull down tinubu status down if truely black lives matter.

Farki:
I agree with him, I don't know why this woman is idolised.

This dunce will sit down in his parlour with his mulatto wife and be instigating Nigerian youths to violence without him coming out

a porn acting money forging armed robbing gangster like Floyd would have been killed by SARS 3 years ago or blown to pieces by Boko Haram or butchered with machete by Fulani Herdsmen

babtoundey:
He should go and pull it down.
If the statue of a long dead and forgotten slave trader is giving him headache how much trouble does he get from the existence of the living slave masters?

After pulling down Madam Tinubu's statue, he shouldn't forget to exhume his dad's from his grave and burn his remains.

This man should not bring problem to Nigeria because anything we copy here is opposite and excess.

Falling of that statue now can mistakenly fall on anybody, be caution of the advice you give people.
