Typical dirty betrayer and traitor.

She collected money and support from the UK Nigerian community to achieve her position, promising them heaven and earth.

Now it has turned to “It’s not my job to be Nigeria’s PR”.

Disgusting person.
What PR job do you expect her to do for Nigeria? To say Nigeria is a corruption free country and that Nigerian leaders/elites are doing fantastically well?

Are you a Nigerian?

She is right. She is Yoruba before being a Nigerian. Nigeria is just a geographical area with different tribes and ethnic groups lumped together.

I support Chimamanda's statement below too.

We should stop forcing Nigeria on people
If these two women were in Nigeria, they would likely not rise to the peak of their careers.


So where is Chimamanda from?
The post is about how she used Nigerians.

What's all the hullabaloo cum balablu about Kemi romancing with her Nigerian roots?

If she doesn't want to openly fraternise with the Nigerian government or the state of failure which these people brought upon us, why wouldn't they let her be?

Is it by force to identify with thieves and scoundrels all cos of national ties?.... Is there anything she's said about the Nigerian government which isn't true?

The desperate 'attachee by force' mentality is now embarrassing!
Gbam !!! God bless you o jare......just can't understand what the whole fuss is about. They should stop all this wailing abeg. It's not by force for her to embrace her Nigerian root...

Absolutely
She won because she was Nigerian
Now she’s consolidated power and is insulting them

So any
you didnt answer my question.

In a message to her Nigerian supporters, Badenoch said, “I need your help. I’m running for parliament in the 2010 UK general elections. The race is very tight. Last year, a survey was carried out in this constituency by the News of the World and the forecast was that I would win. This year, things are a lot tougher as the party has dropped nationally in the polls. I need your help.

“In a recent BBC interview, a caller insulted me because I’m Yoruba. I was very disappointed that a Nigerian woman who claimed to have lived in London for 45 years had issues with me being Yoruba than with my political views and shamefully made her comments on national radio.

“We really need to get out of this mindset where we are fighting one another and try and support each other instead. Regardless of party allegiance, a Nigerian in parliament winning purely on merit and not because of her relatives or by buying the election will be amazing.”

She lamented that her generation had suffered enough from the mistakes of the past and it was time to retell the story.

“So I am asking for your help now to support a Nigerian who is trying to improve our national image and do something great here,” she added.
why didnt you address the fact that after seeking the support of nigerians, she has come out to say she does not feel nigerian?

I didn't read anywhere she said she doesn't feel Nigerian. What she said is that she feels more Yoruba than Nigerian

Aunty kemi is a logical thinker influenced by the sane clime she grew up in,any sane person knows the solution to Nigeria is division and yes she is a divisionist or separatist take that anywhere.

Because they are fake and know it, what Kemi said is false; she attacked the Nigerian political elites and not Nigeria, and she responded to Shetima, who suggested that she change her Yoruba name. Why would a rational man or woman want to associate with the backward extremist North?

Your billionaire politicians who have captured Nigeria are saints.

You live in a country where nothing works and think Kemi is the problem.

Any time Nigeria come on the news, I switch off my TV; it's always one wretched Nigerian crying in a dirty environment. Despite all the oil and gas, the country cannot build a simple electricity grid that Kenya and Rwanda have mastered.

Bar1941:
Kemi is stupid and it’s obvious she undermined the population and power of votes the Nigerians and Africans at large have in the UK. She thought going against her root will fetch her more love amongst her Caucasian superior masters but she obviously miscalculated.

She started by denigrating the people that work as support workers, to claiming the European nation did no harm during colonization and slave trade. And now, rubbishing her country of origin.

She already dug the pit of her downfall and I’m sure she is gradually falling inside it.
She didn't go against her roots. She identifies with her Yoruba roots. It's Nigeria she has turned her back on.

You don't see where the evil Igbo woman refused to support her because of tribalism. Igbos and hate are inseparable.

I'm Nigerian. We must learn to put the country before our respective tribes. That is why I admire Fani Kayode's response to Kemi, despite the fact that he is a Yoruba man. He went beyond those parochial confines. Only unpatriotic people look for lame excuses to hide behind tribe. You can identify with your tribe but do not put it above Nigeria.
