During her campaign for Conservative Party leadership, she described Nigeria as a nation plagued by corruption, insecurity, and poverty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my country. I don\u2019t want it to become like the place I ran away from,\u201d Badenoch had said.<\/p>\n<p>She accused Nigerian politicians of using public funds for personal gains and characterised the country as \u201ca socialist nation\u201d full of broken dreams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI grew up in a place where fear was everywhere. You cannot understand it unless you\u2019ve lived it. Triple checking that all the doors and windows are locked, waking up in the night at every sound, listening as you hear your neighbours scream as they are being burgled and beaten, wondering if your home would be next,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the 10th Annual Migration Dialogue at the State House in Abuja on Monday, Shettima countered Badenoch\u2019s comments, emphasising the contributions of migrants to global societies and the significance of Nigeria as a leading African nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRishi Sunak, the former British Prime Minister, originally from India, never denigrated his nation of ancestry nor poured venom on India,\u201d Shettima said.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing Badenoch directly, he stated, \u201cKemi Badenoch, the leader of the British Labour or Conservative Party, is someone we are proud of despite her efforts at denigrating her nation of origin. She is entitled to her opinions; she even has every right to remove the \u2018Kemi\u2019 from her name. But that does not change the fact that the greatest Black nation on earth is Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shettima highlighted Nigeria\u2019s global significance, noting, \u201cOne out of every three or four Black men is a Nigerian. By 2050, Nigeria will support the United States as the third most populous nation on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Badenoch had described Nigeria as a nation plagued by corruption, insecurity, and poverty Shettima emphasised the contributions of migrants to global societies and the significance of Nigeria as a leading African nation Vice-President Kashim Shettima has criticised Kemi Badenoch, the leader of United Kingdom\u2019s Conservative Party over her remarks denigrating Nigeria, her country of origin.
