Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the UK’s Conservative Party, has criticised the UK’s too lax immigration laws and asserted that she is unable to grant her children Nigerian citizenship due to her gender.
In an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on Sunday, July 20, Badenoch made the claims while talking about UK immigration laws and how Britain differs from nations like Nigeria.
She further claimed that many immigrants take advantage of the British system in ways that are unacceptable in their home countries.
She also quickly said “no” when asked if she would allow a Nigerian immigrant to establish a “mini-Nigeria” in the UK for cultural assimilation.

“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.”
Kemi Badenoch Continues Her Onslaught Against Nigerians
Using her children’s alleged inability to get Nigerian citizenship to illustrate the stark contrast between Nigeria’s approach and that of the UK, she said:
“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.”
“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.”
Meanwhile 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.
It is still not clear why Kemi Badenoch is so hell bent at spreading hate towards her country Nigeria
Because at every given opportunity she must have one negative thing or the other to say about her birth country
At first, Nigerians thought it was all an act to show solidarity to the UK that she is fully a citizen
But the constant witch hunting of Nigerians and Smear campaign against Nigeria as a country, is far from just showing solidarity
