A political activist, Aisha Yesufu, has urged prominent British-Nigerian politician, Kemi Badenoch to move on from her fixation on Nigeria.

Badenoch has sharply divided Nigerians with some of her recent comments about the country, with Vice President Kashim Shettima accusing her of denigrating Nigeria.

In a fresh incident, the Leader of the UK Conservative Party was asked by a British journalist if she trusted the British police.

Responding, Badenoch said, “I do. My experience with the Nigeria Police was very negative. Coming to the UK, my experience with the British Police was very positive.”

She claimed men of the Nigeria Police Force stole her brother’s shoe and watch but did not elaborate on the incident.

Yesufu, who reposted a short clip of the interview on X, chided Badenoch for making her response about Nigeria when the question did not warrant it.

“Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch should grow up and move on! Context is everything! She was asked if she trust the British police? How is what happened with Nigerian police a reason for her to know if she will trust her British police or not? What also brought in our poverty?” Yesufu queried.

She added, “If UK doesn’t give enabling environment for people to loot Nigeria’s wealth and take it there, poor and Nigeria will not be in the same sentence.

“So because the bar is low in Nigeria, it doesn’t mean that she should lower the bar for their police there! She should not use her Nigerian poverty mentality to lower the bar there!”

Yesufu also charged the Nigeria Police Force to improve on its performance.

“@PoliceNG , you see your life? Always disgracing us up and down!” she said.

Correct!

Nigeria is a beautiful country but its so unfortunate bad governance and their s like the ones we have in this forum has divided and destroyed everything.

She has moved on for more than 20 years . It's the deep state of Nigeria that is dragging her

Someone that has dumped the zoo many years ago and move on you're telling to move on.

Nope. She has not. She keeps mentioning Naija in every occasion she gets asked about governance. Truth is, using Naija as comparative benchmark to win votes in a 1st world super power democracy is pure political buffoonery. She’s unlikely to be elected as PM.

Her hate for Nigeria is obvious
One thing she cannot deny is that she will always trace her root to Nigeria.

Exactly bro, people wey dey push this girl Ehn. One day she go realize, she was asked questions about the UK but instead she must use Nigeria first to answer questions

Aisha is an hypocrite. The importance of the message should not be downplayed no matter who says it. Aisha herself has preached more of the same message Kemi is now preaching. Why is Aisha now changing the goal post?

Aisha has no right to shut Kemi.


Talk your own, leave others

It is very easy for some to move on when the country which they call home happens to them, but for some, it is not that easy, the pains, the trauma

When the joy finally comes, may we have the strength and ability to forgive our beloved country

Best advice … just curious about why Kemi still talks about Nigeria, a shit hole nonsense failed fourth world country that didn’t give her opportunity to succeed more than Britain that gave her the opportunity? Nigeria is a ruined nonsense country that can never improve even in the next 50 years but will surely get worse

She has moved on but she won’t keep quiet.
The reason evil thrives is because good people that were affected and claimed to have moved on are too afraid to either speak the truth or expose the evil

This Yesufu still dey around?
Kemi is an escaped ọmọ alé similar to all those doing the same things she's doing here!

Give them similar chances they'll all do the same!

Ọmọ alé (bastard) uses the left hand to describe his/her father's house - Yorùbá Proverb.
Yesufu dey on point!

Birds of a feather.

This same Obidiotttt and her fellow denigrated Nigeria than anyone has ever do has moral right to caution someone.

Surrender to Jesus Christ today and be saved

You should also dump okpo work, move on from being an okpo. You don try

Toh! This is the second big political influencer that I don't agree with saying the same thing I've been saying.

If David Hundeyin and Aisha - the biggest critics and hater of Tinubu and this APC government are aligning with the VP Shettima, you should know Kemi is goofing really bad and a disaster to Nigerians (Not Nigerian politicians or the police).

I'm not saying people are wrong to be angry with our politicians or even the country, but apply sense in our thinking and doings is important.

EponObi:


Oponu! You have nothing going in your life - I repeat. If not, you will understand that Cameron is an outsider. His opinion carries lesser weight and is less potent than that of Kemi. Kemi is one of us - A Nigerian, a first generation immigrant, first Nigerian opposition leader in the UK, and she's closest to becoming the UK prime minister than any African or Nigerian has ever been. If she speaks, the entire world is listening, with very great attention. With that kind of clout, you don't want that kind of person saying Nigerians are boko haram terrorists.

If someone like David Hundeyin (someone I don't even like anyways) is criticizing her, take a step back and try to understand what's going on.

Shey India is not corrupt or don't you know Indians are complaining about their politicians too? Did you ever see or hear Rishi Sunak do this to his country while prime minister? Did you every see him call Indians Hizbul Mujahideen?

I never doubted when I first come across the data showing Africans have the lowest IQ among all races on earth, anyways. I'm never surprised with the way many of Nigerians think and behave.

...has dumped...and moved on...

Can we now leave her alone and focus on this corrupt and tattered country?

Kemi loves Nigeria truth be told,but her hate for the naija govt is deep due to corruption and poor governance. I understand her pains.cox over the years after independence Nigeria is still struggling

yommen:

...a hypocrite...

She can't move on.

She realizes the white supremacy concept and she needs to appeal to it to remain relevant.

Is the Nigerian Police bad? Very bad! Are there good policemen in the Nigerian Police? Absolutely. The pain is that their good deeds are rarely reported.

Is the British Police bad? YES! Much worse than the Nigerian Police. If you place the Nigerian Police and the Metropolitan Police, ours would smell like enchanting roses. I should know because I have lived in both places.

Elsewhere, I argued as follows:

emkz:
For her to be Prime Minister, her party needs to win a convincing majority of seats. That includes constituencies with black voters.

Unfortunately, several prime ministers and leaders of opposition in the UK have not ended up in good steady. Liz Truss crashed the economy, Rishi Sunak led his party to a landslide defeat, Boris Johnson resigned in disgrace, David Cameron resigned after losing a Brexit vote, Theresa May left due to Brecit mismanagement, Jeremy Corbyn was axed for anti-semitism, Tony Blair lost his position after losing the confidence of his party for misleading parliament in the Iraqi war.

Suddenly, a black woman who is desperate for white acceptance believes her case would be different. Meghan Merkle who we may not have known was not mixed race if she never said it was vilified by the British media and racists for "polluting" their monarchy with her black ancestry.

But Kemi Badenoch thinks somehow, that society would accept her.

For those foolishly praising Kemi thinking they are doing Tinubu, some of your compatriots are international travellers doing legitimate businesses. With the garbage she spews, the documents of Nigerians will be checked and rechecked for applying for insurance, residence permits and asylum. In case some of you are not aware, some Nigerians are required to sign on something before using their credit cards in stores where they won't ask oyibos to do the same. If you want to pay with cash, they'd scan the cash under mercury light. And boy, Nigerians spend recklessly abroad as if they are cursed. If I am lying, observe blacks at airports with the most duty-free bags at airports. I recall waiting in line at a duty-free shop and one scruffy looking old man whose underwear was visible was about to pay for some drinks he brought. The cashier said €12,250. This man removed wads of €200 notes and counted them and dropped them on the table and continued reading his paper without a care. I have never seen a white man do such a thing.

But with Kemi Badenoch undermining the entire country and calling Nigeria a poor country, she is denying many of you opportunities abroad as your intentions may now be interpreted as driven by trying to escape poverty. We can abuse government and politicians, but we must NEVER abuse the country and citizens. Kemi is no different from those cultists in Europe who fight to stain the rest of us. She is no different from xenophobes in South Africa, except that she hates her own country.

Mrs Kemi Badenoch suffers from oikophobia. Many of you ing her are oikophobes. It is a psychiatric issue. The treatment is therapy and counseling. That is what we try to do here most days.
