OPINION - QUEEN ELIZABETH LAID TO REST, MATTERS ARISING.

.........𝑨𝑺 𝑴𝑨𝑵𝒀 𝑴𝑶𝑼𝑹𝑵 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑬𝑵 𝑻𝑶𝑫𝑨𝒀

Just watching Arise TV, I beheld a colony of mourners including World leaders or their representatives arriving for the burial of late Queen Elizabeth 11 who died recently. Besides the uninvited countries such as Russia, Belarus, Syria, Afghanistan and one other, the entire world comprising of over 4 billion TV watchers are glued to their television screen.

It may be safe to say that the world is united in celebrating one who sat on a throne of blood. I sincerely do not see why this should be so except we also celebrate the likes of Hitler that presided over the killing of over 6 million Jews or Osama Bin Laden who ran a terrorist network that brought pain to many people including the USA with the 9/11 brutal assault on innocent Americans.

The Queen wherever she is must be in regret about Biafra and other regions where the British greed promoted genocide and large-scale appropriation of native resources for the growth of Britain. Her 70 years reign was an era of bloodshed and oppression and must be atoned for by King Charles 111 if his reign must be peaceful. Returning stolen artifacts to Benin is not enough but a deliberate apology to the victim societies is the least that must be done.

As the civilised world continue to live in denial, the transition of the British monarch at this time is a wake up call to ask for forgiveness from victim societies where the British stranglehold yielded pain of unimaginable proportion. The generation of children starved to death in Biafra will not allow the Queen rest in peace as she joins them and the skeletal claws of the elderly mothers and fathers killed before their time especially the Asaba victims of British wickedness will gleefully receive her to exact justice on her.

Many protested to the Queen of the genocide in Biafra but she had little time to hear them. The blood of young boy that burnt himself in front of the UN office in New York complaining of genocide in Biafra is waiting to receive the feeble monarch just as our own Dr Akanu Ibiam, the renowned preacher and humanist that renounced and returned everything British in him will incite others to have no good words for one that killed his people in cold blood.

How about John Lenon and his protest to the same Queen about Biafra genocide that was also ignored? One thing is perhaps clear and possible; only Harold Wilson, the then British prime minister who collaborated with the Queen will receive her in abyss while former US president Nixon and his uncelebrated Biafran envoy Clyde Ferguson will most possibly jeer at the Queen on arrival for her crimes against humanity in the African heartland.

Even my own father who jettisoned his English name - Joseph to take up an Igbo name Okorie and struggled in bushes across Bende and its environs to escape British engineered bombs will not be friendly with the Queen on her arrival. People or indeed individuals in position of authority should remember times like this when many will speak in their absence.

Just speaking my mind.
