Travelling to UK is not heaven. The day we start praying to go to heaven is the day Nigeria will get better, even pastors have worse prayer points. Praying that you will get your visa, no pray that God will bless you that UK will not look or think twice when you present your passport.

Guys, I want you to cut this woman some slack, and I’ll explain what’s going on with her and why she is the way she is, based on my experience.

I have worked with white people, Africans, and immigrants from other countries for the past 16 years. Each time, I’ve always preferred having a white boss when working abroad over other immigrants.

Hear me out, people, before you come for my neck with a noose. I like working with everyone, but I prefer having a white boss when I’m abroad.

My experience with African bosses is that they tend to overdo things. They push you harder to justify to their superiors that they deserve the position.
It’s almost like a form of inferiority complex. They tend to push harder than other teams to prove themselves and validate their positions.

I’ve worked with Black people, North Africans, and Lebanese individuals, and the case is the same. People from developing countries, when given positions of authority abroad, often work harder than their white counterparts to prove they’re just as capable.
Meanwhile, their white counterparts are usually more relaxed and confident, not feeling the need to prove anything.

Now, let’s talk about Kemi—a Black African woman in a leadership position never before occupied by any Black person in a predominantly white country. She will consciously or unconsciously try to overwork or take extreme measures to prove herself to the white people who hold power in their country.

In the coming days, Kemi will likely take tougher stances against minority groups as an attempt to distance herself from other Black people and immigrants, trying to prove her loyalty and competence to her superiors. She’s essentially screaming:
"Hey, guys, I’m close to the whites!"
"I’m not like those other Black people!"
"I work harder and better than them!"
"I’m even married to a white person!"
"Look, my kids are biracial—I’m not like other Black people or immigrants!"

It can come across as virtue signaling and may resemble the proverbial “Uncle Tom” behavior.

I’ve observed similar patterns among Africans who hold leadership positions in predominantly white countries. They often come down harder on fellow immigrants working under them.

But do you know what white people think of these individuals? The same as they think of Africans back in Africa.

Kemi is making all these outlandish statements to prove to white people that she’s different from other immigrants. But eventually, she’ll be removed from that position and will never become the Prime Minister of the UK.
In fact, the main reason her party lost is because many people in the UK dislike having immigrants as leaders.

The UK dislikes the Labour Party so much, yet they would still prefer a Labour candidate over someone like Rishi Sunak or Kemi Badenoch.

Kemi is unconsciously working very hard to justify herself as a Black woman, and she will continue doing this for the rest of her life abroad.

The only way to climb up is to continuously put down immigrants and dissociate herself from them as much as possible. "Hey, whitey, even though I am not white, I am way different from those people"

This one about immigrants or black people in position of authority in predominantly white settings overdoing their authority in work settings is just on point,I will leave kemi case for later

Which Nigerians are doing better than one of the most powerful women in the western world today?

Kemi Badenoch is NOT ''one of the most powerful...'' blah blah.

SHE HAS ZERO POWER.

Her party is 3rd in the polls with NO HOPE of getting elected to office in elections in 4 years' time due to their horrible record of maladministration and corruption.

It's like saying the party chairman of Peter Obi's Labour party ''is among the most powerful men in Africa''.

Totally absurd.

The idea that a 3rd placed Tory Party will put up a black woman from Nigeria as their candidate for elections in 4 years' time, is the stuff of fairytales.

This was the same party that supported the Apartheid regime in South Africa and labelled Nelson Mandela and the ANC terrorists.

So NO, you little girl born yesterday, the British Conservative party will not have your little Nigerian sellout dunce pea brain as the British Prime Minister.

I am in a state of total rest. I just made a cup of coffee. You want some?

You can be drinking coffee and still getting choked with hate in your heart. When I mean you should rest, I meant rest from hate.

You are obviously dealing with issues about which I have no idea. Wish you speedy healing.
