NGOZI Ekweremadu’s book, How Antichrist Racist Masons Rule Britain, simply focuses on the double standards the British society (institutions and government) act in different scenarios based on who they are dealing with.
In the opening section, the author highlights the support Ukraine is getting from the country in its war against Russia, with the quote of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, “I say this to our allies; if we give President (Volodymr) Zelensky the tools, the Ukrainians will finish the job.”
The author then compares this commitment to what the country is doing as far as reparation for the countries it colonised in Africa and other parts of the world.
While looking at the two-facedness of the British society, the author opines that, “in recent years, there has been a rising crescendo of complaint over legitimacy of particular conduct. From political conservatives come changes that judges are overriding the will of the people as expressed in statute and referenda relating to abortions, gay rights, affirmation action, religion and other subjects. From political liberals come bias against women, sexual misconduct, harshness towards interest of minorities, and forced imposition of deeply conservative political views.”
To buttress her points, particularly on harshness to minorities, the author follows the trial of a black dentist, Dr Bamigbelu, and how a senior NHS nurse who had an accident queried his competence.
The senior NHS nurse had alleged that Mr Bamigbelu, the only black dentist in Wellingborough, mistreated her, but when she went to see another dentist, that one found that the treatment she had received earlier from Mr Bamigbelu was the appropriate one.
The nurse also accused the black dentist of putting his hand inside her mouth during examination.
The author says during the trial, “the dentist was maliciously subjected to incompetent, negrophobic, and dishonest administration of English law.”
She further stated that “Based on several decades of very proximate observations and direct experiences, English law is equal for blacks and whites, but its administration is not.”
Delving further into the trial of Mr Bamigbelu, Ekweremadu said the claims by the nurse that she began experiencing pain after the black dentist’s treatment was another lie to crucify him.
Here, the author quotes the nurse as saying: “My face was so incredibly painful I attended the facial trauma clinic the next morning and saw Mr Gallagher and his SHO. They examined me and said that my muscles were in spasms and no dentist should have undertaken any work so soon after my accident. I should have been given antibiotics and pain relief.”
However, as the trial progresses, Mr Gallagher was quoted to have told the court that, “At no time did I ever have any discussion with the patient about dental treatment she may have received,”
The author, therefore, sees the trial as an avenue to pull down Mr Bamigbelu’s practice.
This case is one of the instances mentioned in the book which made the author believe there are two different ways the law is administered for minorities and whites in the country.
The 14-chapter book is just a research by the author to uncover instances where minorities were treated in certain ways, while wondering if white people would get the same treatment in the same case.
