U.K.:BREXIT IGNITES MEMORIES OF NOTTINGHAM FOREST
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU[LAGOS,NIGERIA]
To be or not to be ,the die is cast as the rest of the world
watches The United Kingdom over how it plans to handle its movement from the
European Union..
In an exclusive Chat with The News office Desk of the
E.N.M.Paedia Express Multimedia Group of Lagos,Nigeria at his Lagos Home ,Chief
Sunday Ogunyale while reminiscing on his student days at The University of
Nottingham in 1982 recalled the adventures of Robin Hood.
He said that Robin Wood at the time was an armed robber who
plundered the wealth of the rich and gave it out to the poor as handouts ,with
this eventually turning him into a folk hero of some sort at the time in
history.
He explained that Robin Hood 's stature still stands at the
centerpiece of what used to be a thick forest in modern times in Nottingham,The
Sherwood Forest.
Chief Ogunyale noted that the British were a very proud
people and he was not in any way
surprised that they wanted to pull out of the European Union even if it was ill
advised.
His words:"The House is stayed at Nottingham was built
with stones and had being there at the spot since 1834 and we are talking about
1982 ,during my student days"
"i have not been attending any of our alumni meetings
either at home or abroad ,so i really do not know so much about the school this day's"
"a lot of firms closed down in the Liverpool,Sheffield
and even Nottingham areas ,The British own such landmarks like
Jaguar,Rovers,Rolls Royce amongst others"
"i know that the city's major iconic charm was linked to
its forests antecedents in the past and this was partly due to the fame of
Robin Hood"
"Nottingham Forest 's past was later given a major
boost with a football club formed to remember this iconic heritage of the city
but most of those areas now have being taken over by urban development"
In a related issue,yet another source confirmed that Robin
Hood did operated from the Sherwood Forests in Nottingham in the past but
quickly added that this days the woodlands had being reduced drastically due to
urbanization
She pointed out that the role of Robin Hood at the time in
the past was okay but that the world views has since changed..
As at press time,it was discovered by this reporter that
Robin Hood was a fictional character that gained a lot of notoriety in the past due to a lot of happenings in the
British society as at then..
