The Carnegie Mellon Professor, Uju Anya, protests for a compulsory teaching of History in African schools, pointing out that ignorance of the atrocious events of particularly Africa colonization by the Britain is the reason why Africans mourn their colonizers.
Uju had wished the late Queen Elizabeth II an “excruciating death”.
This singular tweet which has been removed by Twitter announced her anger on the English Royal family.
Prof Uju Anya did not stop protesting. Some of her latest comments reads:
“If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star.”
“Those who did not know what Africans pass through and what happened in Igbo land 50 years ago will not understand why I made that opinion!.”
“It’s time to make history a must in all African schools!.”
“My tweet yesterday was a form of Protest. In the sense that those who have held us in the past are holding us today,ready to continue in future.”
“I am happy that my protest has achieved it’s aim.”
“Again, Every school in Africa must start teaching History!”
“History will help us to always remember our past experiences, integrate it in our contemporary and prepares us for the future.”
“The Irish people, Indians, parts of Asia and Africa were all victims to this empire.”
