The Crown: Queen Elizabeth's popularity at her death could lead to a favourable depiction of her least flattering moment

In this controversial interview, Diana said:

Key Points: 
  • In this controversial interview, Diana said:
    I don’t think many people will want me to be queen.
  • Diana, now no longer in line to be Queen of England, resolved instead to be “queen of people’s hearts”.
  • Nonetheless, the following year Ipsos recorded a temporary drop in satisfaction with the queen from 75% in 1992 to 66%.
  • Supported by her popularity at her death, it will likely present the queen’s inaction in 1997 as a temporary misjudgement in a long life of public service.

A rebounding monarch

  • This was partly due to a succession of milestones which encouraged public celebration of the royal family and its matriarch.
  • These include the royal weddings of 2011 and 2018, the televised christening of Prince George (2013) (the so-called “republican slayer”), and the queen’s Diamond (2012) and Platinum Jubilees.
  • These fond cultural memories will form a vital counterpart to The Crown’s treatment of the queen’s brief fall from grace.

A nation grieves

  • The phenomenon of collective grief suggests that she may have stood, for some, for our own pandemic losses.
  • While mourning Diana as “the people’s Princess”, the series will likely end with Queen Elizabeth as the ultimate queen of hearts.

Nigeria at 63: four reasons for persistent disunity six decades on

土曜日, 9月 30, 2023

These are the words of Nigerian writer Dipo Faloyin in his book Africa Is Not a Country.

Key Points: 
  • These are the words of Nigerian writer Dipo Faloyin in his book Africa Is Not a Country.
  • Nearly half a century earlier, in 1914, the British amalgamated the Northern and Southern British protectorates into the Nigerian Federation.
  • Since independence, Nigeria has made deliberate attempts to knit a cohesive nation from this legacy of division.
  • We identified these as ethnic and religious division, economic disparities, identity and lack of nation building.

Divisions

    • According to the Irish political scientist and historian, Benedict Anderson, all nations are imagined.
    • However, our observation is that the first reason for persistent disunity in Nigeria is the depth of ethnic and religious division.
    • Ethnic and religious division: This must be placed in the context of colonial mapping and plunder of material and cultural resources.
    • Before colonialism, what is now called Nigeria was peopled by different kingdoms and empires.
    • The arbitrary borders drawn by the British during colonisation bundled together these numerous ethnicities and peoples without regard for their historical, cultural or socio-political differences.
    • Nigeria is home to over 300 ethnic groups – the Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, and Fulani are the major ones.
    • A lack of investment in the infrastructures of the state has also created deplorable conditions for ordinary Nigerians.

Moving forward

    • These include comedy, sport, food, music, movies, and a general sense of hope and positive interaction.
    • We argue that this ground-level, soft but courageous and clear-minded activism has the potential to restore hope in the nation.
