You Can Remove 'Kemi' From Your Name – VP Shettima Accuses UK Party Leader Badenoch Of Denigrating Nigeria

He made the statement on Monday during the 10th Annual Migration Dialogue at the State House in Abuja.

Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has accused the newly elected leader of the United Kingdom Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, of disparaging her country of origin, Nigeria.

He made the statement on Monday during the 10th Annual Migration Dialogue at the State House in Abuja.

Shettima said, “Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the British Labour or Conservative Party. We are proud of her in spite of her efforts at denigrating her nation of origin.”

He further added, “She is entitled to her own opinions; she has even every right to remove the Kemi from her name but that does not underscore the fact that the greatest black nation on earth is the nation called Nigeria.”

The Vice President highlighted Nigeria’s significance on the world stage, stating, “One out of every three, four black men is a Nigerian and by 2050, Nigeria will support the United States, and will be the third most populous nation on earth.”

In his address, Shettima also emphasised the key role of migrants in shaping society and contributing to economic growth.

He reaffirmed the government's commitment to protecting migrant rights and celebrating their contributions to national development.

In 2022, Badenoch, a UK member of parliament of Nigerian descent, accused Nigerian politicians of misappropriating public funds.

Following her election as the UK Conservative Party leader in November 2024, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) reached out to her office but received no response, according to NIDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa.

She really needs to be careful with her words


We all know that Nigeria isn't where it supposed to be, the character of our leaders is nothing to write about as well, but UK of all countries should not lecture us

"In 2022, Badenoch, a UK member of parliament of Nigerian descent, accused Nigerian politicians of misappropriating public funds."

Kemi is not happy that 60years after independence Nigerian leaders are still trooping to London, Paris seeking medical treatment. Have you seen any European leader coming to Nigeria for treatment?
People don't want to associate with failures.

I like this

You cant always take double stance in two countries while persecuting one of them

Listened to one of her interviews and I'm forced to think she's talking more from an negative emotional position. '
Ranting like her father was exiled away from Nigeria when she was 2

Spits

Her snubbing

Abike Dabiri
Shettima
Tinubu Government

Is really making these losers and their online mizcreants mad as hell.

I ask, why will you be attaching yourself to the Lady, when it's obvious she doesn't want anything to do with you losers.

Na wa for people sha.. awon attachee by force

Tell Timlubu to remove Bola from his name too.

If she was in jail in the UK will you recognize her?

Kemi has the right to do whatever she wants with her identity, you want her to spoil the little reputation she has garnered in the UK by hanging around you Nigerian politicians that don't have shame.

You think she doesn't have Intel about how most of you buy houses and other commodities in the UK with stolen Nigerian money?

BiafranPatriot:
She is Yoruba..let that sink in first. They all have dysentery of the mouth, but when you hit them back in their own coin they become ranting victims.

She is obviously going to be the Next UK Prime Minister, because the Trump wave is going to rub off UK. This is just to make you understand what is obtainable.

She's bigger than the biggest person in your tribe and thats a fact


You had to attack a whole tribe cause of the action of one....Philosophical fallacy

Kemi pepper them Kemi pepper them o

I also thought as much.

However, she need to asslick the British to gain their trust.

One thing that Kemi is yet to understand is that, she doesn't need to be excessive about her asslicking as the people she is trying to buy are so good at using people and dumping them.


She should learn from history.

Face naija politics. You know zilch about uk politics.
Black naija immigrant and a woman, uk prime minister.

An igbo guy was once rising up in labour party, projected to be the next party leader. Na so una boast and boast here. What next. What happened to him will happen to kemi. If they can't accept sunak that his family has something to offer, it's kemi that has nothing. It's politics of belonging. Uk is so good in mind games. And that's exactly what they are doing.
Besides, the prime minister is going nowhere. He just started. His policies favour the masses more. As long as the conservative have kemi, Labour will continue to win. I live in uk and I listen when brits talk.
Black pm indeed.

Listen, Nigerians better stop being abusive to Kemi simply because she is preventing japa.

Japa harms both the recieving and the country of origin of japarians. For the UK, too many immigrants means that welfare services get stretched and the citizens of the UK benefit less...for something they paid hard earned taxes for. Add the fact that citizen workers cannot agitate for higher salaries, because they will get sacked and replaced by an immigrant who can live on 10 dollars a month self.

But japa also harms NIgeria. Our healthcare service is currently having massive shortage of staff, especially in rural and underserved areas because doctors, nurses and other allied staff are emigrating. Also, we are losing IT people, right when AI is poised to take over the world. And we are losing a bunch of other professionals . And that impacts on our economy immensely. It's not just tpain economics. After all, people who emigrate are the potential and the already working people, not the elderly. (I only know of one elderly copule who japa, and they probably had citizenship already, meanwhile, the number of young people who have japa that I know....).

Kemi is basically serving her country's interest. She cannot serve NIgeria interest. Just as Barack Obama taking over Murica did not mean that Kenyans all of a sudden got 90 day visa free entry to the USA. kemi is BRITISH. She is not a Nigerian. And she is a Tory, and most Tories believe that immigration is getting too much, and that includes from white countries. (Yes, some even hate white immigrants from other European countries, more than they hate immigrants from Commonwealth countries...at least common wealth countries immigrants can speak english.). Let's drop the abuse. And make VP focus on making Nigeria better abeg.

She should apply wisdom in handling this her new job. Even core British PMs don't last in that position not to talk of foreigners.

Useless politician no Nigerian who have seen development abroad will be proud of you guys .

You go abroad and see all the good developments there but when you come back you destroy your country with greed and insecurity now tell me who is more Nigerian between you and kemi.

why is kemi in uk also as the same Yoruba that has been there

If I was in her position,I will do same. Nothing positive worth saying about Nigeria. Y'all should fix yourselves. Kemi should be the least of your headache.

This man should focus on fixing Nigeria abeg! If her country of origin was doing well she would have no cause to disparage it.

this one turn Nigeria to machine wey them wan fix…I don’t blame the Kemi,she is entitled to her own ideology,I know our leaders will feel the pinch if they have feelings at all.

Hmm
It is not by force to be Nigerian, no one is forcing her to be Nigerian but the idiot should stop denigrating Nigeria and Africa.

He said, “We all know that, until now, there is so much profligacy in government. And until we have a new constitution that regulates government spending, we will still be battling with the problem,” he said.

Meanwhile Yorubalokan tribalists are sharing bread to quench their ebinpawa wailings in the absence of well-paying jobs.

Glimpsetv:
A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.

Agbad0rian elements like Yarimo and LegendHero are Not cussing this Woman o.😏

If her name was Adaeze Oluchukwu, they would rained curses on her
and claimed she is a Bitter IPOB who hates Nigeria and their Druggie President.

As she is y0ruba, they close their Yeye mouth.

Very TERRIBLE, tribalistic beings!

Did she lie about our polithiefcians mismanaging public funds, sane people knows this....

Do your work. Leave her alone. She is doing her work.

That's because we are giving her undue attention. Who she help self? Or is she the only Nigerian doing well in another country?

I agree with Shettima. I will suggest Amelia Badenoch
