What is it to celebrate in this? Has this brought good roads, electricity, good education, good health care system to this country?
When Obama became president of U.S.A, how did it benefit the average man in kenya?
To be sincere, i really dont know what it is to celebrate in this.








I'm afraid you just gave the bitter truth. Anyways, lets spend a little kb to congratulate them. It doesn't hurt at all.

I am extremely pleased for Kemi Badenoch who is my very close friend, Fola Adegoke''s sister.
She ran for the second time after missing out narrowly a few years ago.
Very glad she hung in there and gave it another shot.
Saffron Walden will get a very smart and decent representation at the parliament.
Congrats Kemi and the rest of the Nigerian crew.

Woe betide every tribalistic bastar d who has commented so far and the idio....ts who are yet to comment on this thread.

These re the people who would have taken over the leadership of this country.

But I guest? They re afraid of assassination by our old die-hard politicians who re ready to killed whoever temper with their chance of looting

With young people like this, Nigeria would have being well structured


This country need revolution undecided

Nigeria has young people like this and better the unfortunate thing is that there is a level of cowardice that stops the young from confronting the old goats that stand in the way.

lol the Hausa's do not detest or forget their mother land and leave to go and settle in another mans land..its like not having faith in your motherland so much that you want to go and even migrate to live in another mans land and become their slave.

How many Britons, Americans,or any foreigner do u see coming to settle or even to contest here?

If these Nigerians tell u the daily insults they get in of racism,u will b amazed

Don't conclude or say what you don't know.
I personally know Kemi and like me, we both started out schooling in England after completing secondary school in Nigeria.

Most of the other winners were born there though but I think Bim Afolami also moved there from Nigeria

It's such a shame that other nations are giving Nigerian youths the platform to bring their youthful vibes to the leadership table. While old men over here won't allow us have basic amenities, talk more of giving us the chance to lead. We need a revolution in this country
