Delusional representative a a fallen empire. Is Yoruba not in Nigeria? Stop disgracing your people.
Yorubas living in Nigeria are better than you.

You are liar. It started under Jonathan. Yaradua started it systemically and gradually but he couldn't finish because of sickness. Jonathan started it. It led to a very tough fight between OBASANJO and Chief Edwin Clark.
Chief OBASANJO hardly make comments on nepotism or tribal issues. Under Jonathan, OBASANJO complained bitterly about lopsided appointments. There was an open letter he wrote about it . Chief Edwin Clark replied him on several pages of Newspapers. It became heated argument. Chief Edwin Clark on Newspapers listed appointments breakdown hiding and removing key sectors, despite that, it was widely visible.
Compare Jonathan's appointment list with those of Buhari and Tinubu and see for yourself

No one has ever done the level of destruction these last 2 have done to Nigeria through their wicked appointments that made all the ethnic fault lines very glaring.

You cannot continue to do this to people. There are a lot of people very well known to most people who have stolen from or are stealing from our common wealth and yet I am not seeing this amount of energy and outcry against that. Kemi is not the reason for the state of the country, some of the people speaking against her are. 99.9% of the political class in Nigeria today have done more harm to this country than Kemi can ever imagine.
Thank you for your insightful comment. You are one of the very few sensible Nigerians.

That's what I saw since this back and forth started with Abike Dabiri.
A true loyalty is not to disparage your root no matter what.
It's obvious the British knows how gullible she is, and how she will be easily be manipulated.
She is not disparaging her root. She knows she's Yoruba and she cherishes it.
She is not gullible. You are the gullible one who sees Kemi as the root of your problem.

Go back, read this part and read again to know his stands on her statement. There's no crime in stating her own opinion please free this lady nah.
[/b]She further emphasised, “I am here to protect and I will die protecting this country because I know what’s out there.”[b]

malton:
I can understand not wanting to associate with all the vices in Nigeria, and what she said is the truth. Yorubas have very little in common with Northerners. I mean, Yorubas are much more tolerant of others than the Northerners.

But for a person of her standing, that was a careless statement to make. If she, as a black person, is going that far all in an attempt to distance herself from Nigeria and warm herself into the embrace of the Whites in Britain, then you've got to wonder what they now think of her.

Personally, if I were in a relationship with you and you denigrate your own people right in front of me, I immediately see you as being a self-serving individual capable denigrating me tomorrow.

Someone needs to tell this nation of barbarians and their barbarian Vice President that the greatness of a society or nation is not measured by how well they're doing competing with mice and cockroaches to reproduce their failed lives with more failed lives.

I hate this country with every fibre of my being -- and it's not the flora and fauna that did anything wrong to me.

Useless people!
They are not totally useless. They are useful idiots.

Kemi is very correct because most of the countries in Europe today are ethnic nations that is why their is peace and prosperity in Europe . She is saying its easier to be Yoruba than Nigerian.
The same people that says we should forget ethnicity are the same people that will bring up ethnicity when it comes to election, sharing of palletives, census, appointments etc.

Where are countries like USSR, yegoslivia, checkoslovakia etc. they were all called federal republic like Nigeria but today they are no more

God1000:
I have nothing in common with the people from the north of the country, the Boko Haram where Islamism is,” she added.

This is very disrespectful remarks, 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
The lady has the right to express herself and her opinions I don't see any wrong in her statement.

Nigeria is not a nation created by God nor the people who found themselves within and are being called Nigerians. Nigeria is a creation of the British colonial masters and there is no indication it will last forever.

Her roots are in her Yoruba ethnic group which existed before Nigeria and most likely to outlast Nigeria.

Nigeria is a project and a country that even our politicians have shown little to no fidelity to and these politicians are the ones in the forefront of accusing Badenoch. How patriotic are our politicians? All the stories of corruption at the Nigerian Customs and smuggling across borders that are damaging the economy done by Soyombo and reported by FIJ, is it not surprising that the National Assembly is deaf and blind to it all? Yet they inaugurated a committee on Bobrisky matter?

Well
Awolowo did say you must first be a good Yoruba before you can be a good Nigerian

Nigeria is a Federation of over 300 Ethnic Nations

Even God's own Israel had 12 Tribes
And our Lord Jesus was from the Tribe of Judah

It is like saying Charity begins at home
A federation of 300 ethnic groups?

More like a failed British colonial contraption that has never worked, and should have been dissolved long ago

Funny enough, going by the last few Tory leaders, you HAVE to be foolish to be one.

Maybe whoever was before Cameron was the last non-foolish Tory leader, the rest have had various degrees of foolishnes with the bumbling oaf Boris surpassing them all.

I am not foolish like you. I don't support evil like you. I'm not tribalistic like you. I'm not uncouth like you. I'm not dumb like you. I'm not poor like you. You can only console yourself that you're richer than me and anyone else on nairaland. I won't drag that with you. I only know that the Kemi you're abusing can buy your entire lineage with just her pair of shoe.

Na Thunder go payn you payn your entire generation. If those nonentities that brought a miserable entity like you to this world failed to train you, you will get such training the hard way.

You think you are the only one that knows how to attack people’s opinions on internet? You must be madt to claim you are not uncouth despite all the rubbish you replied to people’s views on this topic. Look at this animal that started attacking someone’s family even without knowing the person forming civil! Na ogun go kii you.
