Kemi Badenoch, leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, says she cannot pass her right of Nigerian citizenship to her children because of her gender.

Badenoch spoke on Sunday in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria while trying to contrast the immigration policies of Nigeria and Britain.

She told CNN that immigrants often exploit the British system, leaving the UK vulnerable to threats.

When asked if she would permit a Nigerian immigrant to create a “mini-Nigeria” in the UK for cultural integration, her response was a swift “no”.

“That is not right. Nigerians would not tolerate that. That’s not something that many countries would accept,” she added.

“There are many people who come to our country, to the UK, who do things that would not be acceptable in their countries.”

Badenoch cited her children’s “inability” to become Nigerians to stress her point.

“It’s virtually impossible, for example, to get Nigerian citizenship. 
I have that citizenship by virtue of my parents, I can’t give it to my children because I’m a woman,” she said.

“Yet loads of Nigerians come to the UK and stay for a relatively free period of time, acquire British citizenship. We need to stop being naive.”

Badenoch has three children with her husband.

Contrary to Badenoch’s claim, section 25(1)(c) of the Nigerian Constitution states that a person born outside the country is a citizen of Nigeria if either of their parents is Nigerian.

This means having just one Nigerian parent is sufficient for citizenship by birth.

Born in the UK in 1980 to Nigerian Yoruba parents, Olukemi Adegoke spent much of her childhood in Nigeria before returning to the UK at age 16.

She later married Hamish Badenoch, a Scottish banker, and adopted his surname, becoming Kemi Badenoch.

Before becoming the Conservative leader, she previously worked in the cabinet for prime ministers Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak from 2022 to 2024.

Badenoch’s popularity has been hinged on her hardline views on immigration.

In her Sunday interview, she said she would ensure that it would be “a lot harder” for immigrants to get British citizenship under her leadership.

this evil wicked witch again >

May God deliver us from people seeking/looking for our downfall

Nothing new. The same things other nationals perform. Arab women visit there and competitively perform one night stands. Arab men eat pork, drink liquor and hire prostitutes. Indians voraciously consume beef. When back home, they return to “repressive” ways.

You want to remove the ladder after climbing to the top. God dey see you o

This woman should rest

What is this level of bitterness she has against Nigeria?? It’s becoming too much and it’s definitely eating her up

I hope her brothers here will cancel her for always preaching hate and de marketing Nigeria. Always tarnishing the image of Nigeria

Kemi is so ignorant about what she’s trying talking about .
Why is she always using Nigeria as example all the time ?

Kemi should please cool down on some of these hardline views against Nigeria. It’s not helping her political career in any way. Fight the Labour Party and leave Nigerians alone.

This on dey see food chop na. Can she stay in naija for two weeks. She must stop disgracing her heritage.

Kemi Badenoch is not the only British politician with foreign heritage, but her hatred for Nigeria is well documented that you wonder why she wants to associate with the greatest country in the world.

Rishi Sunak, Sadiq Khan, Nadhim Zahawi, Priti Patel, and many of them have complete foreign parents, with some even first generation immigrants, but they do not badmouth their own original countries.

Kemi has decided to badmouth Nigeria and Nigerians to make herself more appealing to the British hegemons, yet they are not impressed. She knows that some countries (like UK) can withdraw their citizenship if she or her children are involved in certain crimes; so she needs a fall back option.

Kemi, even if your children are entitled to our citizenship, they must earn it by being immersed in our culture. Hatred for our country is not part of our culture. Teach your children to respect their ancestral land and the land will bless them.

You cannot teach them to love Nigeria when hatred sits in your heart for Nigeria. Our citizenship and passport are a blessing. Only the deserving will earn it. We'd access your children on their own merit and grant them their right, if they do not promote your evil and vile ideology against Nigeria.

She keeps throwing Nigeria under the bus at every given opportunity.

What exactly is the game plan of Badenoch with all these things she has been saying?


Kemi Badenoch lied about not being able to get Nigerian citizenship for her kids. Her kids will 100% get citizenship if she applied and there are many kids who get citizenship without stress

Exactly what you are doing madam Kemi Benedoch. What o! Nah only Nigeria bad things they happen? Abeg rest with all these you holier than thou attitude

Kemi is not yet done with Nigerians and now those in the UK that get British citizenship after few years wich is not possible in their home country, Nigeria.

seunmsg:

She's even lying about the citizenship issue for her children. If she doesn't want Nigerian citizenship for her children, she should say so rather than lying.

This woman is just disgusting. All this nonsense she is saying won't make the whites like her one bit. She will never be PM. Sunak didn't demonise Indians when he sought to be PM. Mayor Khan never spoke against Pakistan when he ran to be London mayor. Kemi is just pathetic.

Expose them!!!
Dem go come here dey feel like dem better pass us because dem dey abroad

That’s why you won't be the prime minister cos you're extremist

Kemi, is just super controllable erand girl, she volunteered herself to be weapon fashion against her people.

Did Nigeria really traumatized her to that extent that she can stop squeezing the life out after Nigerians

When we were criticizing this woman, some people from the other side criticized us saying all sorts of trash. Now she is showing are true hatred to Africa at large, not Nigeria alone. She is only using Nigeria as a case study. She will later regret all her actions forward her foundation country Nigeria. She wants to please her master.

Wow!. This lady is really doubling down. What exactly did Nigerians in the UK do to piss her off this much?

Has she no shame? Her parents came to the UK to exploit immigration laws, pregnancy tourism! And because of people like her children born in the Uk can longer be citizens if their parents aren’t citizens, and she has the nerve to talk about “our country “ as if ducking white D makes her indigenous! This is a coon! A bed wench! Zero shame. I feel shame for her.

She really needs education about immigration policy of different countries like Nigeria. Just one parents is enough to get a citizenship in Nigeria

Can.this woman be stripped of her Nigerian citizenship so she can be fully identified as British?

If you want good news about your country, do the right thing, we have crooks and criminals in aso rock so their minions will be against this woman for saying the truth, they are allergic to truth and honesty.

U are an hypocrite.

To he honest, I don't think shesaid anything wrong up there, in fact, it was Fareed that push Nigeria as a case study to her, she spoke briefly about it and moved.
