Thanks for sharing, Kwabena. There's so much social media outrage over this. What was the black artist thinking? By the way, where is Ogbuefi Cornelius Hamelberg? Is he pleading the fifth? This storm brews in Sweden and we don't hear pim from Cornelius?

“pleading the fifth? “

The so called FGM is an old controversy, the drama and all the fallout
from the cake has sparked some reawkened interest in the issue

Alagba His Worship Le Grand Doyen , Le Grand Maître, Pope Pius
Adesanmi
nah true you talk so my broder..any challenge for the presidency of
Afrika is a challenge which will not only be contested in the North.

Sweden and indeed the whole of Scandinavia is still reeling from
Breivik's third day in Court....

This is how Cornelius sees it :

The cake is still in question
and the matters arising thereof
are very topical in Sweden
the performance at the event held in the Modern Museum
was very much a political event.....
