Professor Uju Anya Yet Again Proves Clearly That The Only Remedy To Evil, Hate Is Good And Love!
Nigerian-American Professor Uju Anya again hugged major headlines across the globe recently, and this time it was not for another so-called “violent outburst” like her comments about the late British monarch Queen Elizabeth II were tagged a short while before the Queen’s eventual demise.
The US-based professor is in the news this time for her public display and expression of love between her and her lesbian lover, Sirry Alang.
According to reports, Sirry posted a love poem by a famous African-American poet, Audre Lorde, with a loved-up photo of the couple. Uju’s reply to her tweet was equally affectionate as her lover’s.
Many reactions have trailed the couple’s public amorous display online, with many Africans reacting in displeasure to the development. However, there is more to this matter that we see than this.
Nigerian-American Professor Uju Anya was again in the news recently, and this time it was not for comments about the late British monarch Queen Elizabeth II.
Of truth, many may feel right to be disappointed in the professor because of everything she had seemed to stand for in the wake of her controversial tweet about the late Queen Elizabeth II. Uju did remarkably well and made her African roots and heritage proud in more ways than one.
She spoke glowingly about the African culture, keeping our native names no matter where we find ourselves in the diaspora, and boldly condemned colonialism for all it truly is and stands for.
Sadly, though, like the wise men of old have spoken concerning the intricate nature of man and the ordinances that govern our existence: “What you hate, you will fear. What you fear, you will never understand. What you do not understand, you can never conquer. And, what you cannot conquer will conquer you because you will eventually become it!”
So, like the young man who grew to despise his father for having more than one wife but almost always ends up a polygamist himself (either openly or discretely), this is another classic case of despising your perceived oppressor so much only to eventually become like them – either directly, or in your version or way.
Where does the good professor stand – her African heritage or the perks and excesses that the Western world is filled with?
None of our African ancestors and no one on the roots that Uju spoke about with such remarkable passion and pride was ever gay, and neither did they ever condone such an act. On the contrary, to our ancestors, such a union is an abomination, and rightly so, too!
The question now is, where does Uju truly stand? Is she really entirely against Western colonialization and all of it stands for, or she’s only against the parts of it that hurt and do not appeal to her?
The onus is on her to either totally respect those ancestors, roots, and culture she proudly and glowingly extolled in defense of her tweet against the late monarch, or stop with her half-baked ideologies, teachings, Pro-African crusade, or whatever it is she is doing!
Hopefully, she and everyone else will learn from this, too, and understand that you can never overcome evil and hate with anything other than good and love!

You cannot find genuine love outside God, and even HIS Words and mind regarding such a relationship are crystal clear:
“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;” – Romans 1:24-28.
If the Word of God clearly condemns it this much, and even our African heritage and ancestors despise it as much as we know they do, the question now is, where does the good professor stand – her African heritage and the moral high ground she’s taken in her recent controversy about colonialism, or the perks and excesses that the Western world is filled with?
