British MP Kemi Badenoch's "Not Nigerian" Remark Sparks Controversy | Firstpost Africa | N18G

British MP Kemi Badenoch has ignited a debate on national identity after stating on a podcast that she no longer identifies as Nigerian and has not renewed her passport in over two decades. Her comments, which included a claim that she has not experienced "meaningful" racial prejudice in the UK, have sparked outrage in Nigeria. Badenoch, who was born in the UK but grew up in Nigeria and the US, said she moved back to the UK at the age of16 due to her parents' concerns about Nigeria's political and economic instability. This is not the first time she has faced backlash for her views on Nigeria. Critics have accused her of showing disdain for her heritage while benefiting from her cultural background. The controversy has amplified a broader discussion within the Nigerian diaspora about the role and responsibility of its members in shaping the image of their homeland.
