Thrasher2024:
India is not as corrupt as Nigeria. If Kemi was from Ghana or Senegal she won't talk down on them. Nigeria is not a country to be proud of, the worst is that politicians keep wrecking havoc on the country everyday and expect citizens to be quiet. Do you know how being a Nigerian has robbed a lot of bright minds here. I lost a big employment start up in last year in Spain, not because I'm African, but because I am a Nigerian, my position was given to a Senegalese. When I inqured more I learnt that they said they investigated our country and we have a very bad reputation, their fear was that politicians might hijack they start up here. It was very painful. So I don't blame Kemi. You saw they part she said she escaped Nigeria. You don't know what she passed through here while in Nigeria? Until we get it right ( which I doubt) Nigeria is not a country to reckon with.. sorry but that's the truth

Chairman you were not destined to get it.
Moreover, if truly you deserved it, they won't give you that lame excuses of hijacking it.

malali:

If you watch her talk, I do a lot of public speaking myself. She doesn't have the dexterity of presenting actual solutions, with practicality in ease of application. She rambles about the problems, which everyone knows and then connects them to immigration being the sole cause of these problems.
She runs into an issue she is better off not talking about because she doesn't have the know how, "she mentions she wants a better Britain for British" failing to recognize that if all the immigrants from Africa and India quit the NHS today. There will be no Healthcare in Britain. As a world leader in that position she fails to demonstrate maturity and wisdom in presenting her solutions without denigrating Nigerians, Africans and Immigrants of which she is a beneficiary of Immigration.
The deprecating self hate is what irks me all the time.

If Kemi Badenoch can give a 1 hour speech without mentioning immigration. I will donate $10,000 to any charity of your choice.

May Almighty God increased your knowledge in folds.
She thinks castigating African countries and are Nation would make the whitty respect her.
I strongly believed she needs a psychotherapy treatment

malali:
God bless you. Kemi doesn't even have the wisdom of some local government chairmen in Nigeria. She has noticed anytime she mentions immigration and says hurtful things against Nigerians,Africans and Immigrants the conservative right gets excited. So she has become the famous circus clown. Just to remain relevant. The white closeted racist people are so happy they now have a black person that can bark out their racist message loudly,without being accused of racism while they pull the strings in the shadows.

Imagine a black condemning blacks!
Disgusting and pathetic Lady

Goodleader:
Kemi has spoken exactly to reflect her mindset about Nigeria. In as much as I am not dragging with her the truthfulness, she should remember that with the radical revolution in the political landscape of the western world now , anything can still happen even in the United Kingdom.She is a UK citizen by a provision of the law and the same law may be repealed one day. If Trump makes good his threat in the United States now, No more acquisition of citizenship by birth and the existing ones stand invalidated. If this kind of game plays out in the United Kingdom one day, where will kemi face? Emase je ki atori wipe aolo si EDE ki a ba EEDE je

You write up is deep.

She's right about Nigeria.
Only the shi*t di*cKs would disagree with the fact Kemi said about Nigeria and the politicians.
Truth can be bi*ttered and hated.

The wild thing about people like her is that it is only synonymous with Nigerians. You'll never see a Chinese man in power say such a thing despite us knowing China has its problems.

The immediate past UK PM has Indian roots, he never ONCE said anything bad about India despite its many issues. Obama has Kenyan roots, he didn't rant about the lack of development there. Why are Nigerians so damn bent on ridiculing their heritage once outside of the country and in a place of power?

Dem swear for una ni? It's one thing to criticize the government but to disparage the land and its citizens, SHAME!

seunlayi:
I just loved this Kemi, she is absolutely right with her decision for avoiding her garment to be stained by our politicians. She has experienced what Nigeria is and what UK is........ She was here in Ibadan few months ago, I saw her interacting with people.....I heard her on a local station complaining bitterly about the state of the road leading to her home in Ibadan...... Now, Shittyman and Abike Dagboru want to engage her in PR, she refused and you start painting her black. Tinubu just said yesterday that his reforms are working, Kemi has first hand info of what's is on ground here, you want her to start supporting those lies? Sincerely, even as a Christian, I will do more than she is doing if I have this opportunity.

Gbenga Daniel once said during one of his birthday celebration when in office that the greatest regret he had in life is joining Nigeria politics "where you have to tell lies and the person you are talking to knows it's a lie and the 2 of you will aggreed and take it to be the truth". Kemi is not ready for this

Avoid Nigeria politicians

This comment is deep.

SmartPolician:
To everyone criticizing Kemi, just know that she has every right to be worried that this deception called a country has gone on for over a century and that she knows she would never have gotten to the level she is today if she hadn't escaped from this sick country.

Gbamsulotely, l agree with you and l stand with Kemi, next news jare haha 😆

Where were all these goons who have issue with Kemi when she was an unknown factor in the UK's corridor of power?

You say foolish things like this to rationalize evil and the consequences it foists on people. The Senegalese or any other random non-Nigerian was destined, right? Fix that dreambreaking country and quit depriving its young striving citizens of global opportunities. Start with admitting that you have a problem and stop saying foolish things.

Gandrova:

Who in his/her sound mind would want to associate with a zoo-like country such as Nigeria?

Let people talk. You cannot cover iniquity forever! Comparing the opportunities available to the chinese, infrastructure and access to what Nigerians have is a dead argument

Winnin009:
Mugu... You don't know how to present an argument. Lol

A reasonable person will simply highlight the population to poverty index in relation to Nigeria and it will obvious why he spared his nation the criticism...

Stating such issues isn't to infrom the public but to make those incharge seat up; look at the VP replying her. And even at that mentioning it on such global podium would definitely prompt some action from his home nation; he missed that opportunity.

But you can't reason beyond your nose... Let's keep covering it up; that will solve the problem.

Laughable idiocy

Comprehension failure .

Mental incapacity to understand what PR actually means.


Like I stated earlier if you like don’t mind the PR around your personal life… be fooling yourself on Nairaland. Continue deriding your country o

QED.

100% correct. Glad we still have people from Nigeria who can see the big picture and not only self-hater who automatically and blindly applaud whatever negative others say about Nigeria without understanding our nation and people are being used for the personal ambitions and parochial agendas of others.

Britain is my second nation and I have had her passport from birth though I now live and work In Nigeria Very happily. The UK is so tough now that all my friends, associates and family there are complaining.

Yet the likes of Kemi think throwing their nation of origin under the bus, and attacking immigrants everyday, can somehow make the real problem of the UK dissappear which is a dearth of new income opportunities and new wealth creation avenues in the system that can sustain appreciable economic growth and increase GDP plus per capita income.

Every budget year, for as far back as I can remember, all the UK Chancellor does is Rob Peter to pay Paul. I.e take 2 pence away from a group of tax payers to then use claiming tax reduction for the "most burdened".

Yet Nigeria has so much unexploited wealth and opportunities, from her human and mineral resources to virtually brand new sectors like tourism, that remains condemnably underdeveloped. Meaning if we get it right then we can live better than Arabs even.

This is why I am angry it is our Vice President who penned a response to the antics of Kemi instead of Shetimma viewing her insult against us as a challenge for Nigerian leaders to be up and doing to gain our nation her place and respect in the comity of nations.

Is the UK even 5% as endowed as Nigeria in terms of potential human and material resources plus stupendous endowment of superb weather all year round and land with magnificent valleys, mountains, Waterfalls etc that are tourist-attracting creations of nature?

The likes of a Shetimma should get to work so in 10 to 20 years time it will be Britons of African and even Caucasian origin scrambling to move to Nigeria. It is possible if we start politics of progress and merit today. Instead insecurity has rendered the North a no go area yet Shetimma has time to lambast Kemi Badenoch.

It is the failings of our leaders that makes unexposed ignoramuses think life is paradise in the West. Below is Robert Kiyosaki, author of the iconic book " Rich dad, Poor dad", and worth over $100 million dollars, complaining about the burden on the younger generation when a normal egg sandwich from Waikiki, a chain restaurant like Tasty fried chicken of Nigeria, cost $14 which is around 25k Naira. Yet I bought same egg sandwich from Shoprite Jakande Lekki for around 700 Naira yesterday

The solution is to choose leaders wisely, instead of getting consumed with self hatred of ourselves, and Nigeria can be a paradise. With a revolution in key sectors of agriculture plus human and material resources development then Nigeria can be a developed nation in 30 to 40 years time. Morgan Stanley already predict us to be the 6th biggest economy of the world by 2050 above the UK and most European nation because of our untapped wealth of human and material resources.

Their assumption is predicated on on us continuing to do the right things, reforming and moving in an upward trajectory. Leaders like Shetimma should simply get to work, to make our predicted success a reality, and stop joining issues with clout chasers.

In the same post on X, Kiyosaki expanded on the issue:

“THE EVERYTHING BUBBLE I wrote about in my last two tweets has caused millions of Millennials, Gen X and Gen Zs… even a few Baby Boomers[…] to claim they cannot afford a house, or have kids, or live at the same standard of living as their parents.”

Kiyosaki expressed empathy for younger generations, noting that he grew up with similar doubts. Yet, with “real estate and the cost of living so high in Hawaii,” he also wonders how “young people today… survive.”

The cost of living crisis isn’t limited to Hawaii. Across the U.S., inflation continues to bite. Since the beginning of 2020, the consumer price index has increased by 22%.

Kemi will be used and dump by the conservative. She should ask the last conservative minister

Lolz! You have problem you can't see it clearly. Because if you have with it takes to be given the opportunity it won't be given to another person.
But you chooses to be abusive, i strongly believed this is one of the shortcomings you have not to have gotten it.
Moreover, your country owns you nothing kid

Dengoh:
We are not interested either. Let keep Nigerian out of her mouth. We know we are in a mess but we'll fix up when we are ready both leaders and followers.
Kemi is not a Nigerian, but she forgot she's not white either. She'll found out sooner or later.

When will you be ready to fix up like this? Ehn, when the truth about your mess hurts both leaders and followers like you?
The other day some were attacking Davido for saying the truth about our country, Dele Farotimi is in detention now for saying truth about the mess Nigeria has become and now Ms Badenoch.

Obviously. She is only interested in tarnishing Nigeria's image for her political ambition. Let her keep Nigeria out of her mouth.

Hey, sorry i have issues with my main ID.kudos, that you came back to Nigeria, I also have a few passports and i agree with you, i see opportunities in Nigeria, like crazy all over the place. Especially tourism, we can make as much as we make from oil, from tourism, our weather is good. A lot of people would love to spend winter by the beach in Lagos state. Kemi is way over her head. She is what we call a useful idiot. If you have lived with these people, you would know their tactics of giving a big post to someone incompetent so that they can control the person 100%.
Our agricultural sector too is a gold mine, i was thinking of animal farming or crops....There is so much arable land and no one is cultivating it, all the big men are focused on crude oil.
In rural America, eggs are free. A lot of people buy chickens and house them in a coop in their back yards. They buy them at the point of lay and they eat the eggs all year round. I know some people that hunt deer , and fill up their freezer with 2 deers, they eat all year round. So they don't buy meat or egg.
I don't know what magic trump will perform but America is in a mess with inflation, the pay checks dont buy anything asides rent and groceries.
Thats why i think, the first thing Trump will do is end all those useless wars, middle east and Ukraine and focus on America.Although i strongly think he will take out Iran either by force or with severe sanctions.
Our problem in Nigeria is even if the old men and the wealthy plutocrats want to hold on to power, they should look for younger dynamic people with fresh ideas, that will awaken the Giant in Nigeria. We have the best afrobeat musicians in the world. We should be doing the biggest shows in December, but guess what ? Ghana beat us to it.
I agree with you, there are a lot of opportunities in Nigeria. Do you know that with all the bread we eat in Nigeria all the wheat is imported. And we have land to grow wheat. Nigeria spends 1.5 billion dollars annually on wheat importation.These wheat can be grown in Kano, in the challawa basin, jigawa, katsina, borno (near lake chad). All these places can grow these wheat in each of the states, we can grow so much, we can turn to exporters of wheat.
But the government lacks foresight. Everybody wants crude oil money. And this is just what we know about, under the ground we have so much mineral that are yet to be tapped, most of our oil wells were explored 30- 40 years ago, we don't have active mining and exploration. We might even be sitting on oil more than Saudi Arabia, but our government is so disjointed and unorganized.
Kiyosaki is right, unfortunately the wealth gap in America is ridiculous. I think they want to keep the citizens poor so that they can work them hard.

As far as she's a Nigerian. Once a soldier is always a soldier.

Point of order, Nigeria isn't sick. We are still developing and we will over come our challenges 🙏

Nigeria will be great 😘

It is about Nigerian leaders/rulers - not the country. So, we need more of her who would speak the truth about the corruption in Nigeria by the leaders and the "jankara" elites.

Yea that's why you're shortsighted and live only for now. It took the Chinese over 100 years to move from abject poverty to sustainable economy, they went through drastic laws including mandatory birth control, seclusion from the outside world and food rationing. It is one thing to criticize the government, it is another to rubbish an entire country......You might not see the value of Nigeria right now based on your condition but when you eventually make it, you'll crave for that heritage, you would shiver at the fact that despite your billions, the whites still looks at you and treats you like a caveman

badoh:
If Tinubu is useless to you, it means you lack proper home training and badly brought up. No one stops you from criticizing govt policies but resorting to name calling is out of it. Very useless comment from you.

Didn't you see your fellow tribsemen cursing Obi every single day on this forum for no reason?

For those of you who are gullible and naively believe in your stupid One Nigeria, the question you need to ask yourselves is whether what she said about Nigeria is true or false. And without a doubt, she was correct in her assessment of Nigeria. She did NOT lie and paint a rosy picture of what Nigeria is. But as typical Nigerians in their corrupt and lying ways, especially your polithiefcians, they expect her to lie. This is the reason why Nigeria will NEVER move forward because the whole foundation and its existence are based on lies and deception.

If that is the case, she can leave the country alone and stop using the country to paper over the cracks of her fruitless chase to become the PM

Kemi is telling the truth, like it or not.

Kemi is a patriot for saying the and shame the thieving politicians..
