Okoroawusa:
Well I don't think she needed the grass to grace stories that Nigerians abroad use on whites to become the British PM... What ever platform she is now was given to her by Nigeria that trained her father so that he could live and work in the UK to give birth to her.

There are so many issues In the British society that she should have used to campaign with. Many people that have not lived in the UK will not understand how fvcked it is. Na shame no allow many people come back home.

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Nigeria in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has berated Nigerian-British Member of Parliament (MP), Kemi Badenoch, over her comments on Nigerian politicians.

She was responding to a comment by an Iyabo Awokoya on Twitter:

Abike responded, “I am just as angry. I second your thoughts here and will keep my comments for a later date.”

The socialism part of her speech is absolute nonsense. I can still accept the corruption part of her speech because it’s a reality we are dealing with but lying that Nigeria is practicing socialism that is sending millions to poverty and broken dreams is crassly ridiculous. It is the height of lamba.

This also goes to show that politicians are all lying scoundrels all over the world. They can say anything no matter how ridiculous and unnecessary to win election.

In Nigeria, a certain presidential candidate while addressing issues concerning physically challenged people told his audience that the best advice he got while serving as governor was from a mad man just to appeal to the physically challenged.

It is all politics and nothing else. However, she should be more circumspect next time. Using Nigeria for political clout doesn’t appear like something well thought out. Rishi Sunak and other aspirants with similar background like her did not use their country of birth for clout like her.

ThreeEyedRaven:
When the fantastically corrupt are mad for calling them out

sonofElElyon:


Truth is an absolute defence.. is she lying

jojothaiv:

We should be diplomatic and act like the country is actually on the right path..

kelib:
Abike Dabiri you've got no choice than to defend a fail government u are part of. Even foreigners who haven't been to Nigeria b4 know d true situation of d country, we aren't improving but dying off at a faster rate. Still eyen Ibibio

ThreeEyedRaven:

While souls are perishing and many are dying if frustration due to the unvearable conditions of living right? Yeah, you're right

Olurondo:
Abike should keep quiet.Kemi has spoken the truth.Let us call Nigerian Politicians including Abike who they are-selfish and self-centred ruling class!Nice one by Kemi!

jojothaiv:

That's their goal, we should pretend like it's all bitter and bread over here but they know the truth and we also know the truth too.

alsudan:
Nigerians no like truth.

If Kemi was in Nigeria, the highest she would have been is an APC Ashawoo like you and that APC women leader.

She left Nigeria and now she has the opportunity to contest for the highest office in the UK, while even in Nigeria you hear things like some certain tribe will never smell the Presidency, minority tribe and other BS.

jurjes:
Are you angry at the truth?
Show me the lie.?

Politicians throw Nigerians under the bus on a steady basis, Kemi does same and you are angry? Haha

meobizy:
Kemi is pleasing her hosts by putting her country down. This is not the first time we’ve witnessed such and the act draws straight from colonialism. Leave her, all she said were words. It’s no different from the Nigerian who tells his Caucasian workmates that zebras cross Nigerian classrooms meanwhile he lived all his life in Abuja.

Nostradamu:


No disrespect, but can you tell me that Nigeria doesn't practice a bit of socialism?

Reason my question well o before you answer. I dey wait.

Obidient4life2:
Abike is a fool if she expects someone who grew up where politics in played with a sense of decency to talk like a looting Nigerian politician!

You're a clown. You have your own private struggles and flaws. Does that mean some in your neighbourhood you live in start targeting you and your family negatively just because they are running to be President of the neighbourhood watch association ?

Some of you are just completely ruined by hatred of your own Country.

Yes Nigeria is fcked but that does not mean people should cynically use us to advance their own selfish agendas.

Learn to separate issues. You're an adult. What on earth will you teach your child? You have a daughter who likes sex. That mean it is okay for men to gang rape her?

Nigeria has problems. That means everyone contesting to lead their nation must mock and disrespect us when we are supposed to be a sovereign nation?

Why does Kemi Badenoch not dare take on the USA gun crime madness that has seen several mass killings this year by deranged gunmen?

Why is she not speaking about Putin and his destructive war?

Why no talk about the repressive Saudi regime?

What of nations brutally killing and culling African immigrants trying to cross borders to gain better lives?

You guys are annoying and self-hating clowns I swear.

THEY ARE IRREDEEMABLE AND CURSED TO HATE THEMSELVES.

THEY ARE A DISGRACE.

There are other contestants from 'corrupt nation' backgrounds in that Tory contest. Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India etc. Not one of them put down their home countries to push their candidature except the self-hating negro from Nigeria dripping with inferiority complex, AND BACKED BY HER FELLOW SELF-HATING PEABRAINS here with zero dignity or self esteem.

Do you have sense at all? Why are Tinubu, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Obi etal not basing their campaign to lead Nigeria on mocking all that is wrong with Nicaragua, Sudan, Somalia etal?

Can some of think at all ? Because your child is naughty means Villager should beat him into a coma over something he knows nothing about?

What concerns Nigeria with Kemi's attempt to be UK Prime Minister? Why does she not even say all Nigerians, including me and you, are evil and that she was trafficked to the UK as a sex slave? Some of you are self-hating mumus I swear.
