Na so, whose fault say them born u for The Federal Republic of Nigeria?

Kemi done japa with her British p, yet you still dey the zoo dey lament.

TheFreshVanilla:
Very little to do with occultism. This is a nation drowning in selfishness. For instance, look at these hired APC lapdogs infesting forums like Nairaland. These full-grown men spend 24/7 glued to their phones for a meager sum of less than $70 a month, replying to random Internet posts and mentions like their lives depend on it. Instead of seeking ways to earn a decent and dignified income. Very lazy ppl.

BUT NIGERIA’S FIRST POWER PLANT WAS BUILT IN 1964. KAINJI DAM.

AFTER INDEPENDENCE.

SO THE ONLY REASON YOU HAVE ELECTRICITY TODAY IS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE YOUR LITTLE DUMB HEAD IS CALLING “EVIL” BUILT ALL THE POWER STATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE YOU ENJOY TODAY.

THEY EVEN BUILT THE SCHOOLS YOU ATTENDED, SINCE THE BRITISH BUILT NO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WITH LITERACY RATE AT 5% IN 1960 COMPARED TO 75% TODAY.

SO WITHOUT THOSE BLACK LEADERS YOU ARE
INSULTING, YOU WOULD TODAY BE A STARK ILLITERATE VILLAGE PALMWINE TAPPER OR A HUNTER LIKE YOUR GRANDPA UNDER BRITISH SUBJUGATION.

AND YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TYPE THAT ROTTENNESS INTO YOUR PHONE.

SO SHUT UP AND COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, YOU IGNORANT LITTLE INGRATE.

JagabanBorgu:
You have issues with understanding, don't you?
I told being in a cult does not stop development.
That's what I'm saying.
It's not about being in a cult, it's about attitude of the people populating the country.

US shouldn't waste her breath on Nigeria.

She should just close her Embassy in Nigeria and suspend all activities for 1 year. Na Nigerians go use their hands fight Tinubu in that matter

Has he not been on the land as devil and his agents continue ruling?

JagabanBorgu:
Nigeria don't have occuIt Ieaders, Nigeria as country is just unfortunate to have the kind of people it has as citizens, the average Nigerian won't do anything without looking to gain from it.
That's how we are where we are.

keymatt:

Freedom of expression and association.. you worship middle east God and that's fine but don't rubish anyone worshiping their local deity and God's like Orunmila, Ogun and Osun

All our politicians are in one occult or the other.

Define civilization first and see if ur political contraption qualifies as one.

1. Self-Sabotage as a Politician:
• One of the cardinal rules of politics is understanding and consolidating your base. Badenoch’s comments alienate Nigerians, a group that, regardless of geography or ethnicity, could be critical in her political ascent. Her apparent disdain for Nigeria, while embracing her Yoruba heritage, reflects a lack of strategic foresight.
• Politicians typically avoid divisive rhetoric that targets their own roots, especially when their heritage forms a key part of their public identity. This lack of awareness underscores her ineptitude.
2. Alienation of Diasporic Voters:
• Nigerians in the UK, whether immigrants or descendants, constitute a significant voting bloc. By disparaging northern Nigeria and the broader national identity, Badenoch risks alienating a demographic that would likely support her based on shared heritage.
• It’s a textbook example of political self-harm. Even if her statements resonate with a narrow segment, they harm her broader appeal.
3. Double Standards and Contradictions:
• Badenoch’s attempt to selectively embrace Yoruba identity while rejecting broader Nigerian identity is nonsensical. Ethnic identity cannot exist in a vacuum, especially for someone in a global diaspora. Her argument sounds akin to saying, “I am part of London, not England,” an absurdity that undermines her credibility.
• She later pivots, portraying herself as a “warrior” protecting her adopted nation, yet she does so by rejecting the very origins that shape her story. This hypocrisy makes her rhetoric seem more self-serving than sincere.
4. Ignorance of Cultural Nuance:
• Badenoch’s remarks about northern Nigeria are inflammatory and reductive. By equating a region with extremism, she ignores the rich cultural, economic, and historical contributions of the north. It demonstrates her lack of understanding and sensitivity toward her own country of origin.
5. Unnecessary Antagonism:
• Politicians thrive on unity and bridge-building, not division. Badenoch’s combative tone and dismissive attitude reflect poor judgment, especially given that even casual voters expect diplomacy and respect from leaders.
6. Global Perception of Nigeria:
• Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, succinctly countered Badenoch’s dismissive stance by underscoring Nigeria’s global significance. His remarks highlight what she fails to grasp: Nigeria is a powerhouse of black excellence. Her denigration of this reality is not only shortsighted but deeply disrespectful.
7. Missed Opportunity:
• Instead of using her position to champion Nigeria’s diversity and promote its global contributions, Badenoch reduces her identity to an insular narrative. This reflects not only intellectual laziness but also a lack of appreciation for her platform.


Kemi Badenoch’s comments are a stark display of political immaturity and shortsightedness. Her rhetoric alienates a critical voter base, exhibits cultural insensitivity, and undermines her own heritage. Politics is about unity and strategic vision—qualities she appears to lack. Whether she acknowledges it or not, her Nigerian identity will always be part of her story. Running from it, or disparaging it, only diminishes her stature.
