“Nigeria Has Its Issues, But It’s Not True What Kemi Badenoch Is Saying” – Pastor Tobi Adegboyega
Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, has publicly expressed his disagreement with recent remarks made by Kemi Badenoch.
Badenoch, who was born in Nigeria, has been vocal about her negative experiences with her country of origin, particularly in relation to the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
In an interview with The Free Press, a US-based media platform, Badenoch recounted an incident where officers from the NPF allegedly stole her brother’s watch and shoe.
Her statements were harshly critical of Nigerian law enforcement, painting an image of corruption and inefficiency.
He argued that while Nigeria certainly has its challenges, the picture Badenoch painted was far too bleak and did not represent the full reality of the nation.
“I completely disagree with her statement,” Adegboyega said.
He went on to mention issues within the UK itself to provide context, noting, “In 2023 and 2024 alone, 78,000 bags were snatched, and 78,000 phones were stolen in London.
So, while Nigeria has its issues, it’s not fair to suggest that the UK is without its own serious problems.”
Adegboyega also drew attention to the struggles faced by the Black community in the UK.
He emphasized the contributions of the Nigerian diaspora and the challenges they still endure.
“There is a very strong Nigerian Black community in the UK, many of whom have worked hard and made sacrifices to support people like Kemi Badenoch to rise to such positions of power.
We know the realities of the system.”
He further pointed out disparities in the justice and education systems, saying, “More young Black people are found in UK prisons than in schools.
The same applies to mental health facilities, where the numbers of young Black individuals are disproportionately high.
These are systemic issues that need to be acknowledged.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
