Few days from now they will be discussing granting indefinite leave to remain in UK for Healthcare workers in just two years as against the 5 years in which Nigerians are to benefit greatly for this

But we know that kemi will oppose it and she benefited from something like this in past.

She wants to oppose everything black to gain trust of the white
It will not sail. Even the 5yrs, they want to increase it to 7yrs

FFK and his crowd want to crucify the amiable, foresighted, and progressive Kemi Badenoch for speaking the absolute truth regarding the choking corruption and suffocating governance that have been unleashed upon the hapless Nigerians for decades. The voiceless poor Nigerians are praying for Kemi for being the lone voice crying on their behalf in the wilderness within the international community. The elites are the problems of Nigeria. They hate the truth and defend injustice as long they feed fat on crises. God keep and protect Kemi and her likes within and outside Nigeria.

Every good lie contains an element of truth. At the time Kemi lived in and left Nigeria, Nigeria was under military rule so where does she get her eye witness " "When I lived in Nigeria I saw how?"

The slave trade decimated West Africa's brightest and strongest men and women. Repopulating that gene pool took centuries to recover at great cost.

Most of the landmark buildings and works of the western world were built with slave labour.

At the time of the slave trade Benin had the most sophisticated city design and it's iron and metal smelting were years ahead of European foundries.

David Lammy the current UK foreign secretary has acknowledged the injustices of slavery and the need for reparations - with the caveat that reparations will be non pecuniary and would involve human capital development and technology transfer. I agree with
him.

Kemi should be saluted for having the iron will to succeed in the cut throat world of UK politics. BUT Her statements are clearly for the right wing of the Conservative party so no one should get upset at all.

Furthermore Kemi has absolutely zero impact on UK policy for the next four years so she can be safely ignored. Nigerians should not spend unnecessary time feeding Kemi's "visibility". Leave her to the important job of being leader of the uk opposition. We can get back to her in four years time if she is still in office and wins the next general election.

Kemi Badenoch understood that the UK stereotypes black people to assert their superiority.

She played that card to be acceptable to the British white hegemony of the Tory Party.

If she thinks those people would let her be PM, then she is retarded.

The same establishment that propped up an incompetent woman because they didn't want a brown guy but were forced to settle for the brown guy after the woman led them to a crashed economy is the establishment Kemi is in bed with.

Once they are done with her, they'd spit her out. What next for her? She rejected her native land and is rejected by her superior land.

It's all time to equilibriate her stupidity.
Very nice!
While Sue Braverman, Rishi and other immigrant politicians compete to outdo themselves as the most conservative, let's not forget that a politician's first interest is self preservation.
Over here in Nigeria, we remember how Tinubu asked "where are the cows?" After Fulani herdsmen murdered the daughter of a prominent Yoruba elder in cold blood. Tinubu, sounding much like Kemi chosed to side with the ruling power instead of reality.

she said it is a scam for African countries to always blame their under-development on colonialism, which is very correct..... Go to Niger delta today and you'll start asking if a state like delta or bayelsa is an oil producing state, why because they get a lot of money, but their leaders keep stealing it and they brainwash their people that it's d northerners spending their money......if the colonialist are to be blamed for our problems, why are we still going there... Why we still dey japa? Even when they say, no they don't want us in their country, we fight tooth and nail to get in.... Why?
Re: Kemi Badenoch’s Imperial Loyalty And The Politics Of Immigration by BigIyanga: 3:36pm On Nov 11, 2024
She’s a willing tool to be used and exploited. And she’ll never be PM.. You have to find a black person who feels inferior inside and outside to be used, that’s why she’s married to white man to invalidate her blackness.
Former PM, Sunak, was born in UK to East African parents, never publicly made ridiculing comments about Indians coming to Uk in droves to work. Sunak went to India to marry an Indian-born woman whose dad is one of the richest billionaires in India. Hanty Kemi, after staying in Naija, went back to UK to marry her Oyibo councilor husband in order to valid her white Britshiness. smh

Can't she do her own things without bringing Nigeria into it? She has cut ties with Nigeria, why not move on and stop vomiting trash about us?

TenQ:
All these because she doesn't like Nigerian Politics and Politicians!?
And she was bold to say so!
It is way more than that, she's using every opportunity she gets to throw Nigeria as a country under the bus to achieve her aim. Her statements is not about Nigerian politicians and politics, it is more about Nigeria

The woman is clearly an enabler of white supremacy. If she had done same to the Jews, her career would have ended long ago.

I have noticed black conservatives always feel they have to prove something and they go overboard. You won't find Labour members like David Lammy and Diane Abbott spewing such nonsense. Kemi was clearly picked because of her disdain for her ancestry and race, exploiting it for political gain.

Nothing Kemi or anyone says will wash away the guilt and blame of colonialism. As for immigration, they will keep battling with it, as it is a small fine to pay for the atrocities they have committed in the past and continue to perpetrate in the form of neocolonialism and forever wars. They have unleashed insecurity and economic turmoil in many developing countries, especially those in Africa.

It’s worth noting that Badenoch herself grew up in Nigeria and often invokes this personal history as the linchpin for her credibility on African issues. But whether this lived experience translates to empathy or a deeper understanding of colonial repercussions is, to put it politely, questionable.
You do know history is not really a compulsory subject in Nigerian schools right and that its not even well thought at all in the schools that teach it.

Nigerians In UK Divided Over New Conservative Leader, Kemi Badenoch's Policy Stance

Kemi Badenoch becoming the first Black woman to lead a major British political party has reportedly brought divisions among some Nigerians and their descendants who call Britain their home.

The United Kingdom’s Conservative Party had announced the election of Kemi Badenoch as its leader ahead of her closest rival, Robert Jenrick.

Badenoch, who received 53,806 votes to defeat Robert Jenrick who got 41,388, succeeds Rishi Sunak as leader of the opposition Party.

Speaking on the significance of her victory and her ambitions for the Party, she said her first responsibility is to hold the Labour Party’s Government to account, while the second is to prepare for the next few years for the Government.

The former British Business Secretary is the first black woman to lead a major political Party in the UK and takes charge of a Conservative Party reeling from its worst-ever election defeat.

Born in Wimbledon, London, on January 2, 1980, to Nigerian parents, she spent her childhood in Lagos and the United States until she returned to the UK at the age of 16.

Reuters reports that not everyone is celebrating.

Some fear Badenoch, who was born in London to Nigerian parents but lived in Lagos until she was 16, will undermine progress towards racial equality.

The 44-year-old former software engineer represents the right wing of the opposition Conservative Party and was elected its leader on Nov. 2, after it lost power in a July election.

A defender of meritocracy, she said she prefers not to focus on her race, arguing she would like the colour of her skin to be no more significant than the colour of her hair or eyes.

For Nigeria-born Abel Fayemi, who has lived for more than two decades in Peckham, a south London neighbourhood that is home to one of the largest Nigerian communities in Britain, Badenoch's election by Britain's most successful political party was a "remarkable achievement".

"It has given us hope," said Fayemi, one of the nearly 300,000 Nigerians in Britain.

Nigerian Ajofoyinbo Oluwajuwon, 24, has lived in London for six years and sees Badenoch as someone to look up to. "A Black woman doing something like that (is) definitely an inspiration."

Yahed Lawal, a 64-year-old from Nigeria, also agreed with Badenoch's approach, saying: "Colour don't really matter."

However, some of Badenoch's remarks have caused alarm among some within the Black community and anti-racism activists in Britain.

At the Conservative Party conference in October 2023, she said she tells her children that Britain is the "best country in the world to be Black because it's a country that sees people, not labels".

She has described calls for reparations for slavery, which advocates say are crucial to overcome racial discrimination today, as a "scam", and has opposed the teaching in schools of critical race theory - an academic concept that rests on the premise that racial bias is baked into Western institutions.

Badenoch has previously argued that critics were trying to "silence people like me" as they believed all Black people should have the same views.

"There is a left-wing view of racial politics that's assumed to be the Black view of politics," she told the Spectator magazine in 2020.

Badenoch, who has said she has a hard-nosed view on immigration, supported a plan to deport asylum-seekers arriving in Britain without permission to Rwanda, which has since been scrapped by the new Labour government.

She said in a newspaper article in September it should not be assumed that "all cultures are equally valid" when it comes to deciding who should be allowed into the country, and said those moving to Britain should accept its values.

She later told the BBC she was referring to "cultures that believe in child marriage, or that women don't have equal rights".

Janett Walker, CEO and founder of Anti Racist Cumbria, said in a statement that Badenoch's approach would be "used outside of politics to gaslight us and our concerns", adding: "The denial is coming from someone who looks like me."

According to Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission, unemployment rates are higher among Black people, they earn less, are more likely to live in substandard and overcrowded accommodation and face tougher rates of prosecution and sentencing.

British-Nigerian writer Nels Abbey, one of many who criticised Badenoch on social media following her appointment, said some would feel they could "convey racism without having to deal with the baggage of actually being labelled a racist" as the rhetoric would be "outsourced" to a Black person.

Annabel Sowemimo, of British-Nigerian heritage and founder of Reproductive Justice Initiative, which aims to address health and racial inequalities, said Badenoch pointed to her own success as something she achieved on merit, but did not acknowledge obstacles such as racism that others might face to accomplish the same.

"It would be a much more formidable thing if she had challenged sexism and racism to get to this position but she has not done that," Sowemimo said. "And that is actually what attracted a lot of people to her as a candidate."

This is a historical revisionism that would make any historian weep. Kemi's musings are almost a masterclass in political acrobatics. The cognitive leap it takes to praise an empire for abolishing a trade it spearheaded is enough to make heads spin.
This got me laughing. 😂


Kemi would say anything to please her white masters. She has a political career to pursue, no need to please black people at the expense of her career.


The pattern is, put one of their own there to do the dirty job - it pays more. No one would blame it on racism when one of your own is doing it.
