Grow up - Aisha Yesufu Reacts to Kemi Badenoch's Recent Interview About Nigerian Police

A social critic, Aisha Yesufu, has told the leader of the United Kingdom Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, not to use her “Nigerian poverty mentality” to lower standards in the UK.

Yesufu’s statement, shared in a post on her X handle, came in response to Badenoch allegedly describing her upbringing in Nigeria as being overshadowed by fear and insecurity in a country plagued by corruption.

The Conservative leader, who identified as Yoruba, reportedly stated that she has nothing in common with the northern part of Nigeria.

Apart from this, Badenoch recently insisted that she stands by her remarks about Nigeria despite criticism that she is denigrating the country. She also took a dig at the nation’s police structure.

However, Yesufu argued that such comparisons would not have arisen if the UK did not provide an enabling environment for looted Nigerian wealth.

She said that Badenoch should grow up and move on.

Yesufu wrote:

“Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch should grow up and move on! Context is everything! She was asked if she trusts the British police. How is what happened with the Nigerian police a reason for her to determine if she trusts the British police or not?

“What also brought in our poverty?

“If the UK doesn’t provide an enabling environment for people to loot Nigeria’s wealth and take it there, ‘poor’ and ‘Nigeria’ wouldn’t be in the same sentence.

“So, because the bar is low in Nigeria, it doesn’t mean she should lower the bar for their police! She should not use her Nigerian poverty mentality to lower the bar there!

“@PoliceNG, you see your life? Always disgracing us up and down!” If you even see some police on the road or checkpoint with their dirty uniform you wonder if they are on payroll, even bicycle run more than their patrol vehicle. Badge sef they don't have, that's if they know what is call badge. Ministers travel and see and they know what's obtainable but when the return they turn blind eyes and they don't put orientation or experience into play because they are more concern of pocket. Police now have been use as case study. Hissing...
