Nigeria-born American professor, Uju Anya, has disclosed that hate messages now surfuses her email boxes while she has been locked out Twitter, micro blogging app where she made controversial remarks about the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Her Twitter lock out is believed to be as a result of her account being consistently reported by people who felt aggrieved by her comments on the late Queen Elizabeth II of England.
Uju passed an acerbic comment on her in her dying moment.
She confirmed this to a foreign news platform, The Cut, saying, “I haven’t been on Twitter because I’m locked out, but the hate is coming into my email inbox”.
The professor still stands her ground and remains adamant over her comment.
“In my tweet, I did not wish her death. I did not tell anyone to kill her. I said nothing except wishing her the pain in death that she caused for millions of people.
“There’s not going to be any apology from me.
” I stand by what I said.
“As a direct recipient of her governance and as the child of colonial subjects, I reserve the right to say what this woman’s life and monarchy and the history of the British monarchy as a whole means to me.
“Speak no ill of the dead’ is a weapon that’s levelled against the oppressed to silence them, to lionise oppressors, and to sanitise their history. What respect am I supposed to have for her, for her family? “Oh, well, her family is mourning her.
My family is mourning as well,” Anya said.
Twitter in its first reaction deleted the said offensive comment, but allowed the professor to continue to engage with followers and others on the app until recently when she fell silent.
It has now emerged that the engagement stopped as a result of a full lockout by Twitter.
