The Statues are a depiction of an Egyptian Princess and her Handmaiden. They are decorated with draped clothing, jewellary and gold anklets which were a form of Egyptian decoration. They each hold a lamp in the shape of a torch

A great bunch of lads, apart from Ebun Joseph and anyone who thinks pygmies were eradicated from Ireland by a Welsh lad with a stick.

The statues was not causing offence Unill the hotel took them down

Catch yourself on. I'm mixed race but I would never think this for a second. Neither would any black or mixed person I know. This type of stuff is complete outlier.

New Irish.

Go **** yourself.

As they don't have a premises, they are doing an online open day where you can find out a bit more about the courses and the lecturers. Fair enough, every college and school has one. But she's charging €50 for the privilege of finding out what the course is about. Whatever about anything else, she's certainly raking it in here.

Seems like a very Nigerian business model.

No, it is because we are a soft touch.

There are people who think slaves didnt build the pyramids.
Wow.

Eh... they didn't. The Egyptians had slaves of course, but these were mostly men and women and children captured in battle and I'm sure there would have been some slaves on the periphery of things, but they were not the builders, the builders they were local "free" Egyptians. In essence Ancient Egypt was a feudal society with the Pharaoh at the apex and everyone below him owed labour or goods and religious adherence. The pyramid builders were made up of specialised gangs of men who were farmers the rest of the year. Egyptian farming practices around the annual Nile floods allowed for months of "downtime" when these men worked for the greater good of their god king and themselves as they got very well looked after in food, lodging and medicine and when they died were given a plot to be buried beside the finished tomb of their god king. A big honour that one.

Later on the tomb builders of the Valley of the Kings became highly specialised and respected and well paid guilds. One of the first industrial strikes in recorded history concerned the same lads downing tools because the pharaoh(one of the Rameses') hadn't paid them. He paid them and they got back to work.

Just an aside I grant you, but let's at least be somewhat historically accurate here. Leave the fantasy history to the crazier end of US college campuses and facebook.

Ah FGS I give up. Nigerian harridans telling us here in Ireland how we should operate and behave.

I bet I would get the same welcome in Lagos.

+1 she's completely batsh1te crazy deluded. Or was drunk tweeting. I hope drunk. Christ knows where she came up with that howler*. 200,000 previously unknown Black Africans here and "pygmies" too? That bit's the icing on the cake. Never mind she's not exactly up on her naming sensitivity as "pygmies" is about as out of date a title as "coloured".





*Ireland was the last large land area that people got to and as far as we know only fully modern humans ever did. If Neandertals had then they look to be a pale people adapted to the lower light levels of Europe. Modern humans only got here around 12000 years ago(by comparison archaic humans had been in England nearly a million years ago) and by that stage would have been pale of face as they had been in Europe for around 30,000 years by that stage. No record of them being any shorter either.

Rather she's a skilled opportunist who has wangled her way close to enough ears and early enough to paint herself as the go to representative of all things "race" so to make hay with her opportunism. She has a neck as hard as a jockey's bollocks, but you have to give her some props for that at least.

It's quite sad that this vile woman is the "go to" representative for anyone.

When you peel it all back, she's an angry racist with a agenda. What's worse is the woke crowd agree with her.

It could also be argued that she is actually profiteering off historical black slavery.

Miss Uhrobo (should probably be "Urhobo", the Nigerian language) is off her rockers if she thought there were black Africans in Ireland that were killed by St Patrick.
Mad stuff altogether.

Few letters in the Irish times today saying that the “slave girls” are not actually slaves and the supposed shackles are actually just decorative.

Ffs shelbourne replace those statues to their right position and hopefully the courts can impose a fine for them ignoring Irish planning legislation

If you are so minded to ask them to put them back their email is

Aye, dead on.

It's not a saying, it's a vieled way of referring to ethnicity. 5 minutes on boards will highlight the context new irish is used.

I will do. Thank you. I’ve already emailed a number of councilors and I’ve had call backs from 2, both saying what the shelbourne has done is unjustifiable

The media don't question anything she says in interviews

She could claim that Forty Coats was a klansman and they would stand there like nodding donkeys

That's dangerous

This is interesting if true.

According to that, she was Secretary of the Nigerian Britain Association.
This woman certainly gets around. Did she apply for asylum there first?
Anywho, maybe Revenue might take a look at any money she makes from her online open days and charging €50 per person etc.
