Bollocks Kemi
Just Resign. [Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has said she no longer identifies as Nigerian and has not renewed her passport since the early 2000s. Badenoch, who was born in the UK, grew up in both Nigeria and the US. She returned to England aged 16 because of Nigeria's worsening political l and economic climate, as well as to continue her education. Speaking on former MP and television presenter Gyles Brandreth's Rosebud podcast, she said she was "Nigerian through ancestry" but "by identity, I'm not really". Last year, Badenoch faced criticism from Nigeria's vice-president, who said she had "denigrated" the West African country. Badenoch, who previously lived in Lagos, spoke at length about her upbringing on the podcast, external. "I know the country very well, I have a lot of family there, and I'm very interested in what happens there," she said. "But home is where my now family is." On not renewing her passport, she said: "I don't identify with it anymore. Most of my life has been in the UK and I've just never felt the need to."] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c24z77yg16eo |

You just don’t get it. Most people on this forum probably won’t.
Everything she says is supposed to pander to white Conservatives.

This forum isn’t exactly Nairaland, especially not with people like you dropping racist bait every 5 minutes. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume you’re the last person in the world who would know anything about Nigeria. You wouldn’t know the first thing about Nigeria if it came up to you with its flag and gave you jollof rice and nkwobi for your troubles. Do you seriously think otherwise?
