Omo, This lady is intelligent. She is a bible student. If you get what I mean.

In the Bible After Apostle Paul has bean arrested and the synagogue crowd threatening to beat him to a stupor, Apostle Paul quickly shouted, "I am a Jew." The Jewish community in the crowd quickly rallied to protect him.
In the same vein, Kemi Badenoch quickly appealed to the conscience of Yoruba people in Nigeria, ensuring that she would not be alone in this matter.

As a proud Ondo and Yoruba man, I declare that everything said by Kemi Badenoch is correct and true.

I'm also from Ondo but I was born and brought up in the north. I think we Ondo are more pro Yoruba than any other Yoruba sub tribe in Nigeria. Almost all Ondo indigene wish we Yoruba can just have our country instead of this force relationship. I'm so sorry to say this, Nigeria can never work because we are too different from each other. I pray this division happen sooner more than anything

In as much as I don't support her direct attack on the northern region, I think it is a wake up call for the northern elites to do something to better the region and people

That is a quality of an average Yoruba man. Some idiots love Nigeria now just because Tinubu is the president .
Don't forget that even Tinubu himself said that he doesn't believe in Nigeria.

This is wrong at all fronts. KEMI is vying for the top job in UK, but her utterances potray as one unfit

Yes we all know Nigeria has many challenges, but theres is a difference between highlighting same and calling for change and deliberately denigrating ones homeland which is exactly what shes doing.

"More Yoruba than Nigerian" how on earth can a leader make such patently tribalistic claims??

[b]It's only a patented omoales that see nothing wrong in her utterances

Those statements would get her lots of Nigerian votes in the UK, certainly.She must have read lgboho's letter to the British Parliament.Nigeria generally are more aligned to their tribes than the nation and that is sad but true.

All these is about tribalism. Tribalism and discrimination is the bane of the black race. Trump, JFK , etc came from somewhere in Europe. Yet you will never hear anyone (other whites) mentioning his country of "origin". As far they are concerned, he is American. But same cannot be said of blacks...

I think Kemi Badenoch is trying to fan the ember of ethnicity in Nigeria. A woman who has no respect for Northern Nigeria, how then are you sure she has respect for other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. Her body language is directly or indirectly saying the Yorubas should imitate her to polarise the country. Thank goodness there are alot of Yorubas who are wiser and can see beyond her facade.

This is very disrespectful, some things are better left unsaid


This will be used against her someday, I think she's fooling herself by saying she's more of a Yoruba than being a Nigerian, she will forever be seen as a UK citizen of Nigerian descent

What has Nigeria ever offered? If Nigeria ended today, do you think the Yoruba would not be better off as a Nation? Kemi is right, why will anyone want to identify with the backward North.

There is an adage that says "it is a bastard that uses left hand to describe his or her father's house."

CyrusVI:
A lady that thinks demarketing her country is a big flex would prolly be inhumane in most of her actions and comments

She;s a Divisionist
You shouldnt expect much from her

My worry tho, is why we keep giving her this free publicity in our media space...She's British for godsake

Shut up your dirty mouth my friend. Does Nigeria deserve to be proud of as one's country except you are one of those looters or beneficiary of their corrupt practices?

Errr.. i don't think so.


Used against her how? What is so special about Naigeeria?


No, she is not fooling herself. She says she is more youruba than Naigeerian, that is correct! So many Naigeerians feels the same with their own tribe. The evidence are all over here on this tribalism, ethno-bigoted Nairaland.


Unu should leave the woman alone! Haba!

Unu should leave Kemi alone! She doesn't want to be part of unu Corrupt lawless, tribalistic ethno bigoted terrorists contiri!! It is nat by force to be Naigeerian!!

Kemi is a social climber. At the right time, the British will still remind her of who she is really is. A BLACK Woman from NIGERIA.

Having said that, she's factually right though. NO ONE HAS ANY AFINITY WITH NIGERIA. WE ARE ALL PRETENDING. When the push comes to shove, we all fall back on our ethnic identity.

I'm a Yoruba man before being a Nigerian and truth be said,I have nothing in common with the Boko Haram's North too!

Kemi is right!

Northern Nigeria see your life! Tinubu, please let's have referendum now!

Nigeria is a colonialism legacy which must be destroy at all cost.

One day will be one day the legacy would be destroyed. It might not be in this present generation. But the people will wise up one day and take back their father land.

Correct!




Correct! The evidence is littered on Nairaland here. The tribalism on here alone is epic.

100 percent right. I am a Yoruba by birth and nature. Nature made me Yoruba, I am a Nigerian by mistake.

Tranquill:
I have deliberately restrained myself from commenting on this lady’s unguarded statements but at this point I am beginning to wonder if she is in alignment or seeking for validation from ipob because she sounds really stupid and un British.

I will be very surprised if the conservatives don’t throw her out of office before any major or general election.

These silly talks will not make her the prime minister of Great Britain.

This is what the conservatives of the UK want to hear, they have a very strong anti Muslim stance

Calitoscassius:

Which yeye evidence.

Mumu man. Kemi is 100 percent correct. A sensible Yoruba man will identify first as a Yoruba, second based on his Sub-Yoruba ethnicity and last as a Nigerian.

To be in the same country as terrorist islamist is a bondage to the Yoruba race.

This kemi of a woman seems to be more of a noise maker. Identifying with yoruba and not Nigeria seems like ignorance.

She will never be full British no matter how much she tried

Idiko1:
If Yoruba did not prepare the moronic dish called "One Nigeria", Kemi would not sweat to explain the difference between Yoruba ethnicity and zoo-like country such as Nigeria.

You lack common sense just like other Igbo morons who brought Nigeria upon us. If Zik had listened to Awo not going after power, we wouldn't be in the same contracepion like this.

NOW YOU ARE TALKING!

Same for me (and many of us) we identify as YORUBA, NOT NIGERIAN.


IT IS WHAT IT IS...

I disagree, unless Yoruba Nations is not actualise....

The greatness perceived of this country to be is only in the figment of our leaders imagination. Kemi has lived in Nigeria, but would not have reached this height as she has in Britain. She is a reflection of the huge neglect, injustice and disconnect existing amongst the people and the leaders. Shettima taking swipes should emulate British leaders and learn to give hope to youths in Nigeria of rising to the top like Kemi.

I never new Kemi was this unintelligent. It's shocking.

Islam and Yoruba have a longer history than Christianity. But she can go on with the "Islamism"

I think I need to start supporting Kemi. I pray that she becomes British Prime minister, she will definitely support the division of Nigeria for the good of humanity.

CyrusVI:
You guys should stop making the thread distasteful to all abeg. '
Must you drag your region into the discussion?

Its not about the East, just stay on topic....You seem to be more of a bigot that i earlier thought sef

Getaway you, rotten-toothed hateful tribalist dey shalaye. Mugu.

Then if she's more of a Yoruba, should she leave the UK and stay in yorubaland. That's not how a leader should talk even if you are aggrieved with a particular set of people.
