CNN Appearance: Kemi Badenoch’s Distortions Demand Nigeria’s Right to Respond

You would think that Nigeria and her Conservative Party are competing for the position of British prime minister based on the way Kemi Badenoch is always disparaging Nigeria. Where, after all, is the poison from this most heinous kind of careless comments coming from?

My friend Folorunso Fatai Adisa, a resident student in the UK, made a joke a while back when he asked if Kemi had ever been betrayed by a man in Nigeria. I’ll now list some names of those who should have “femi” and showered Kemi but most likely ignored her. Femi Adeshina, Femi Fani Kayode, and Femi Akinwunmi. We need an explanation from everyone of you as to why you did not “FÉ’KEMI” and spare us this buccal torture. For me, this repetition of falsehoods and fictitious language directed at the Nigerian people can only be understood through the lens of a failed romance. Nigeria seems like a boyfriend you have cheated on or that you have cheated on but are unable to move on from. Should she, however, vent her frustration on the entire country?

Although there have been jokes and innuendos regarding Kemi’s lack of moral character, let’s examine some facts that examine her anxiety and deception of immigrants in the midst of her rage and disdain.

The Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration (CReAM) reports that immigrants, especially those from outside the EU, have made substantial contributions to the British economy by paying more in taxes than they receive in benefits and public services. Estimates of the net positive contribution to the British economy are close to £4.6 billion. An Office for National Statistics analysis released on February 12, 2025, estimates that immigrants add around £83 billion (eighty three billion pounds sterling) to the UK economy per year. And when you consider how many educated Nigerians work in the UK as doctors, nurses, and other professionals, you can only fathom the level of contribution Nigerians make to the UK’s society. But how does Kemi’s attack on Nigeria strengthen the Conservatives’ position as an electoral asset? About 270,768 people who were born in Nigeria and resided in England and Wales prior to 2024. There were 271,390 people who claimed Nigerian ethnicity. Just 0.5% of the UK’s total population is represented by this. What use will Kemi make of disparaging Nigeria, then?

The reason is that instead of focusing on a campaign strategy that elevates her above the Labour Party, she focuses only on Nigeria and keeps making fun of immigrants as though they are worthless parasites. Simply put, Kemi’s strategy is based on the current surge of anti-immigrant sentiment that helped Donald Trump win power. She is adamant that any candidate who can disparage immigration will win over the white supremacist base, whose support is crucial for winning the presidency. And Kemi, who was half-shrewd, saw no problems with immigrants from Bangladesh, India, or Pakistan, even though 52,000 Nigerians moved to the UK in 2024. She decided to use the noose to hang her own people and history. The statement by Edwin Louis Cole that “the pattern of the prodigal is rebellion and ruin” is perfectly summed up by Kemi. Even though he concluded the quote with the words “repentance and restoration,” I don’t think Kemi is doing that.

James Boswell’s statement that “if a man is prodigal, he cannot be truly generous” accurately emphasizes the myopia of willful bastards, therefore she’s a lost cause. In order to fit into a psycho-genocidal fiction, where immigrants are viewed as irritants and have the nuisance reverse-value for campaign trolls, Kemi Badenoch’s purposeful fabrications and her obedient and servile, attention-seeking denigration of immigrants—many of whom have contributed to the development of the UK—are indicative of a condescending, virtue-signaling strategy. This is done in advance of an extinction policy. Unfortunately, this conservative wannabe-racist’s name is Olukemi Olufunto, regardless of how hard she tries to break the ties to her background. She is an immigrant’s daughter and a Yoruba from Nigeria. Born in England, she was returned to Nigeria, where she relished the country’s warmth and communal culture, and was not brought back to the UK until she was sixteen.

Therefore, Kemi will never be white no matter how hard she tries, and the true British people are aware of this. Her ambition to run for office is within her rights, but it does not reflect well on her to undermine the dignity of other races. The ideal beauty in virtue is that while ambition might motivate us to strive, it shouldn’t be used to offer an entire race for murder. Kemi should also refrain from using her kids as a political weapon in a crude and dishonest manner. Because of this, history will not be kind to her. She might not get that office, too. Her day of mockery might not be far off. The Federal Government of Nigeria should, however, seek the right to respond to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in light of her most recent deceptive tirade in order to refute the latest odor Kemi just spewed like a fart. Reno Omokri will perform this task well. Now is the moment to send him out!

The person in charge of Kemi’s hair and overall grooming should, at the very least, do better. She appears to be many years older than she actually is, regardless of how hard they try.
