Again, Professor Uju Anya Slams Queen Elizabeth In Another Tweet

Professor Uju Anya has slammed Queen Elizabeth in another tweet.

Newsone reports that Nigerian-born Professor Uju Anya who works with Carnegie Mellon University in the United States has again berated Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Thursday.

This online news platform understands that the Nigerian-born academic had accused the late monarch of sponsoring the “genocide” that led to her family being displaced.

“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating,” the now-deleted tweets read in part.

Displeased with the “hate tweet”, Carnegie Mellon University in the United States, where Nigerian-born Professor Uju Anya works, distanced itself from her recent tweet on the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Newsone Naija reports that the US University in a post on its Twitter handle on Thursday, September 9, 2022, described Anya’s tweet as “offensive” and distanced itself from it.

The tweet read, “We do not condone the offensive and objectionable messages posted by Uju Anya today on her personal social media account. Freedom of expression is core to the mission of higher education.

“However, the views she shared absolutely do not represent the values of the institution, nor the standards of discourse we seek to foster.”

Reacting to Anya’s wish for the queen to have an ‘excruciating death’, the microblogging site, Twitter, deleted the message hours after it was posted on Thursday by the professor.

“This tweet violated the Twitter rules,” the micro-blogging platform noted.

Despite this, Professor Uju Anya slammed Queen Elizabeth in a second tweet, where she wrote: “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.”

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.
