Jeff Bezos And Prof. Uju Anya -By Rev. Fr. John Oluoma (Opinion Nigeria)

Finally, Prof Uju Anya is a person of global repute, she can get the British government and other colonial Nations to appease the colonial victims by ...

Blames and insults are too atavistic and crude, they are a waste of energy and time. They helped eradicate evil practices like the killing of twins and the subjugation of the girl child. So, it wasn’t like Africa was the Garden of Eden without strife and evil until the serpent of White Colonialits crept in. I too feel same way, in fact I get riled and totally dismayed when I read or watch documentaries of the sheer evil unleashed on our people by the colonialists, the evil stands abominable and condemnable till eternity. It’s both an exercise in futility and weakening of one’s spiritual and moral character. I watched Chimamanda Adichie adressing a German audience on stolen African artefacts and why they should return them.

For many in the U.K. “We may never learn what the queen did or did not know about the crimes committed in her name,” wrote Jasanoff in the New York Times. “Colonial officials destroyed many records that, aaccording to a dispatch from the secretary of stat for the colonies, ‘might embarrass Her Majesty’s government’ and deliberately concealed others in a secret archive whose existence was revealed only in 2011.”)it did “not condone the offensive and objectionable messages.” “Why are we trying to wash a legacy stained with the blood of our people?” For many in the UK at least, the Queen remained through thick and thin a unifying figure, expressing the British stiff upper lip and devotion to duty that carried it through the deprivations of the Second World War. Harvard University history professor Mayaa Jasanoff urged people to therefor mourn the Queen, but not her imperial legacy with its roots in a “racist and paternalistic conception of British rule as a form of tutelage”, she argued in a column. Calls that the West was sanitizing her role as head of state culminated in a rebuke by Uju Anya a linguistics professor of ethnic Igbo descent that denounced the Queen as part of a “thieving raping genocidal empire” and wished her ill.
