I don\u2019t want it to become like the place I ran away from. I grew up in Nigeria, and I saw firsthand what happens when politicians are in it for themselves, when they use public money as their private piggy banks, when they pollute the whole political atmosphere with their failure to serve others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw what socialism is for millions. I saw poverty and broken dreams. I came to Britain to make my way in a country where hard work and honest endeavour can take you anywhere.<\/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 said.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to Badenoch remarks, Vice President Shettima on Monday accused her of denigrating Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Shettima had asked Badenoch to remove the \u201cKemi\u201d from her name if she was not proud of her nation of origin, adding that Nigeria is the greatest black nation on earth<\/p>\n<p>Asked about Shettima\u2019s comments, Badenoch, through her spokesperson, said her bleak description of the situation of things in Nigeria is the truth.<\/p>\n<p>She said she stands by her statements and is not interested in doing public relations for Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is the leader of the opposition, and she is very proud of her leadership of the opposition in this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe tells the truth. She tells it like it is.
