  QUEEN ELIZABETH'S CROWN NOT HERS- PROF UJU ANYA Nigeria-born American professor, Uju Anya, has made more comments on late Queen Elizabeth II of England, saying she was unapologetic and would stand by her words. Anya, whose comments on Queen Elizabeth had sparked reactions across the world, further defended her comments, questioning how the Queen’s crown was gotten in the first place. She alleged that the crown was not her own but “plundered from the lands they exploited and extracted.” She said this in an interview with foreign-based news platform, The CUT. Anya said, “Queen Elizabeth was representative of the cult of white womanhood. There’s this notion that she was this little-old-lady grandma type with her little hats and her purses and little dogs and everything — as if she inhabited this place or this space in the imaginary, this public image, as someone who didn’t have a hand in the bloodshed of her Crown. How did she have that Crown? Even the crowns she wears are loote...

WHAT AN ENVIOUS LITTLE FELLOW! WHY PRINCE TURNED DOWN MICHAEL JACKSON'S OFFER TO SING ON "BAD"  For decades, it's been a thing to try to pit Michael Jackson and Prince against one another. Who was better in the battle of royalty — the King of Pop or His Purple Majesty? Both musicians had other-worldly charisma and skill. Both could dance. Both made fans people squeal and pass out. Both loved James Brown and glitter. And both were a little alien-like in their celebrity: They were human but like, not. It's natural that people wanted the two musical giants to collaborate. That, however, never happened, even though it could've way back in 1987, when Jackson wanted Prince on the song "Bad," and Prince declined to participate. When you look at the history between the two mega-stars, Prince's refusal isn't shocking. Early on in their careers, the comparisons were pretty inevitable. For years, their careers ran parallel, beginning in the late ...

          HOW MY SACRIFICES FOR MY NEIGHBOURS DAUGHTER LED TO FALSE ACCUSATION OF RAPE My neighbor is fond of leaving her child with me whenever she knows I'm around in the afternoon so she can rest while the little girl turns my house upside down She made it a habit so much that once the little girl of 4 knows I'm around, she'll come over by herself I was almost getting irritated until I discovered that her parents are fond of fighting all the time. I decided to be a safe spot and a good uncle at least to protect her from the toxic environment once in a while. One afternoon, I closed very early from work and decided to work on a client's CV and statement of purpose when I heard a knock Immediately, I knew it was my little friend, Rashidat. I wanted to ignore because the client had paid in full for the CV and wanted to start applying but Rashidat kept knocking and I knew she will knock till eternity. I paused my work and invited her in, gave her ice-crea...

  WHY THE NIGERIAN PROFESSOR NEEDS TO APOLOGISE OVER HER TWEET ABOUT HER MAJESTY,  QUEEN ELIZABETH   Written by: Fada Oluoma  I think the prof got it all wrong. She needs to apologize to the Royal family and all who feel outraged by her tweet.  Even if the late Queen were her enemy,  scripture says "pray for your enemies and bless those who persecute you". Wishing a dead  person 'excruciating pain' offends moral sensibilities, even though such wish is a mere bombastic rhetorics.  Her tweet is apparently an expression of her displeasure with colonialism. Let's talk about this a little. she's not alone, many Nigerians and Africans feel bitter about the evils of colonialism, and justifiably so. 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.  Yet, I don't, ...

 A POEM FOR HER MAJESTY, QUEEN ELIZABETH TITLE: " PHILIP CAME FOR ME" Phillip came to me today,  and said it was time to go.  I looked at him and smiled, as i whispered that "I know" I then turned and looked behind me,  and seen I was asleep.  All my Family were around me,  and I could hear them weep.  I gently touched each shoulder,  with Phillip by my side.  Then I turned away and walked,  with My Angel guide.  Phillip held my hand,  as he lead the way,  to a world where King's and Queens,  are Monarch's every day.  I was  given a crown to wear or a Halo known by some.  The difference is up here,  they are worn by everyone.  I felt a sense of peace,  my reign had seen its end.  70 years I had served my Country,  as the peoples friend.  Thank you for the years,  for all your time and love.  Now I am one of two again,  in our Palace up above. unknown author...
