Kemi Badenoch's political journey has been marked by a blend of strategic maneuvering and controversial rhetoric, particularly concerning her Nigerian heritage and the socio-political landscape of Nigeria. Her approach has sparked significant debate and criticism, both in the UK and Nigeria.

Sympathy and Self-Denigration as Manipulative Tools
Badenoch has often been accused of using sympathy and self-denigration to manipulate her audience. This tactic involves presenting herself as a victim or underdog, garnering sympathy and support. By highlighting her struggles and challenges, she creates a narrative that resonates with many, especially those who have faced similar adversities.

Self-Denigration and Its Impact
Self-denigration, or the act of belittling oneself, can be a powerful tool in political rhetoric. Badenoch has been known to make self-deprecating remarks about her Nigerian background, which some critics argue is a calculated move to gain favor with her predominantly white audience in the UK. This strategy can be seen as a way to disarm her critics and present herself as relatable and humble.

However, this approach has not been without controversy. Critics argue that by denigrating her Nigerian heritage, Badenoch not only undermines her own identity but also perpetuates negative stereotypes about Nigeria and its people. This can have a detrimental impact on the perception of Nigerians in the UK and beyond, as it reinforces harmful biases and prejudices1
.
Collateral Damage to Nigerians
Badenoch's actions have been criticized for causing collateral damage to the reputation of Nigerians. By using self-denigration as a tool for personal advancement, she is seen as contributing to the negative portrayal of Nigeria and its citizens. This has led to accusations of selfishness, as her actions are perceived to be driven by personal ambition rather than a genuine desire to improve the lives of Nigerians1

Ambition and Manipulation
Badenoch's ambition is evident in her rapid rise within the Conservative Party. Her ability to navigate the complex political landscape and secure a leadership position speaks to her strategic acumen. However, this ambition has also been viewed as manipulative, as she is willing to use any means necessary, including self-denigration and sympathy-seeking, to achieve her goals
.
Media Coverage and Public Perception
The media has played a significant role in shaping public perception of Badenoch. Articles and news reports often highlight her controversial statements and actions, further fueling the debate about her tactics and motivations. For instance, her comments on the COVID-19 Partygate scandal, where she described the row as "overblown" and praised Boris Johnson as a "great prime minister," sparked backlash from bereaved families and critics who saw her remarks as insensitive and detached from reality
.
Conclusion
Kemi Badenoch's use of sympathy and self-denigration as manipulative tools has been a contentious issue in British politics. While these tactics have helped her rise to prominence, they have also drawn criticism for their negative impact on the perception of Nigerians and their potential to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. As Badenoch continues to navigate her political career, the debate over her methods and motivations is likely to persist

We don’t know if you noticed it, but Landwind's, or rather Land Wind's [sic], new X7 looks like the Range Rover Evoque – a lot, actually.

And it couldn’t come at a worse time for Land Rover as the British firm just started production of the Evoque in China with its local partner Chery Automobile Company.

We're not just talking about some vague similarities between the two SUVs, but a visually very close copy – go ahead, call it a clone, no one will blame you…

Landwind is hosting the world premiere of the X7 at this week's 2014 Guangzhou Auto Show, but we've yet to hear any comments from Land Rover.

The X7 shares its platform with Landwind's X5 SUV with power coming from a Mitsubishi-sourced 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 204PS (201hp) and 250Nm (184 lb-ft) of peak torque paired to either a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic, according to Chinese media.

WHO IS ON TOP, JUST A DOSE TO CLEAR THE HEAT IN NIGERIA POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE

COPY CAT, YOU CAN COPY AND REBRAND, SHEYBI NA UNA JOB. FRONT PAGE ABEG!!!

Chelsea FC plc today announced a profit of £18.4 million and a record turnover of £319.8 million for the year ended 30 June 2014. This is the second profit in three years and the largest since Roman Abramovich became owner of the club in 2003.

These results ensure UEFA’s break-even criteria under the Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations continue to be satisfied.

The £18.4 million profit follows the £1.4 million generated two years ago. Strong revenue increases as well as a significant surplus on player sales during the 12-month period contributed.

The turnover figure – up from £255.8m - increased for a fifth consecutive year, demonstrating business growth continues in seasons without trophy success as well as in years when silverware is won. The new FAPL broadcasting deal contributed significantly as did commercial income. In the past year we have signed new partnerships with Rotary, Hackett, Coral, William Lawson’s, Indosat and Guangzhou R&F Football Club.

There was a small rise in matchday income but with Stamford Bridge filled to capacity year after year there was no scope for significant financial growth in this area. General admission ticket prices remain frozen at 2011/12 levels.

The latest financial results combined with those from the previous two years mean that for the second monitoring period for FFP we will fall comfortably within the limits set by UEFA, who measure expenditure against the income from football-related activities. Chelsea also complied with FFP criteria over the first monitoring period.

Chairman Bruce Buck said: ‘The club is naturally pleased to record a significant profit for 2013/14. By reaching the Champions League semi-final and maintaining a challenge in the Premier League until the final week of the season we demonstrated that, while improving our financial figures, we remained competitive in football’s toughest club competitions.

‘We financed player purchases from sales as the squad for this current season was shaped, and our philosophy since Mr Abramovich acquired the club in 2003 has been to build upon success on the pitch. That is evident in the partnerships we signed and in our fanbase growth which contributed to the new record turnover figure and the profit made. We have done all of this at the same time as creating one of the world’s leading football community programmes through the Chelsea Foundation.

‘Going forward, we have ambitious plans to build a pioneering global commercial programme, partnering with innovative and market-leading organisations from around the world. In the era of FFP, we must progress commercially to continue the circle of success to invest in the team and get results.’

A simple search on these Chinese online sales portal show high purchase of fake 1000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5 naira. They are sold in open market and I wonder if the Nigerian government not watching and making effort to stop this anomalies. Now I think proper investigation, diplomatic protest, sanctions should be used. Can chinese ambasado to order. Sss should start work and let all this stop. Cut the root which is from China and stop publishing hungry boys printing fake notes with HP printers. They even assure you its original and certified good.
