A couple of days ago, an interview session featuring Nigerian-born British politician, Kemi Badenoch aired on social media.
In the interview session, Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the United Kingdom (UK), Conservative Party, made a statement alleged to defame and deride Nigeria’s image.
According to Badenoch, her upbringing in Nigeria was predominantly overshadowed by fear, insecurity and police brutality in a country that is plagued by bribery and corruption.
Following her remark during the session, netizens especially Nigerians have taken to the social media platform, X to disclose how the Nigerian police have either physically assaulted them or extorted them.

You do not live in a free society if you are not free to insult your own country.@KemiBadenoch better think harder and dredge up all the bad memories you have of Nigeria and tell them to the world.(@sugabelly) December 15, 2024
The funniest thing to come out of this Kemi Badenoch discourse is the “one day she’ll need Nigeria” trope.

My brother in Christ, you are a Nigerian citizen living in Nigeria who needs Nigeria every single day.
When has Nigeria ever helped you.
