      Because she's a queen you fools, even her own people knelt down to her during that time. Besides this was in 1956, we didn't have our independence, so we were still under her.

    Historic lessons/notes I have picked up here, I would never have picked up in all my years in Secondary school because our curriculum is bland, dull. We need to beef up our History educational curriculum because there is a lot to learn asides the official stuffs and whatnot.
