African govts should ban Kemi Badenoch from coming to Africa – Seun Kuti

Nigerian Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has called on African governments to ban Kemi Badenoch, United Kingdom (UK) Conservative Party leader, from coming to Africa over her claims that Black nations should pay Europeans for colonisation.

Seun kuti, in a video clip recently posted on X has berated the UK Conservative Party leader. He said, “…. Somebody (Kemi Badenoch) that is insulting us… Not only us (Nigerians), this woman insult our ancestry.

“This woman says we should pay Europeans for colonizing us… that we should pay them for killing millions of our ancestors. For all the atrocities committed in our land… This woman opened her mouth… So maybe all the African government should ban her from coming to Africa. They should sanction her that if we see her leg, she is going to change.”

Badenoch had allegedly described her upbringing in Nigeria as being overshadowed by fear and insecurity in a country plagued by corruption.

Badenoch, born Olukemi Adegoke in Wimbledon in 1980, grew up in Lagos before relocating to the United States, where her mother worked as a physiology professor.

She later returned to the UK at the age of 16 to live with a friend of her mother’s owing to Nigeria’s political and economic issues, as well as to complete her A-Levels.

After marrying Scottish financier Hamish Badenoch, she took his surname.

Earlier this year, during the Conservative Party conference, Badenoch contrasted the freedoms she discovered in the UK with the dread she encountered growing up in Lagos, “where fear was everywhere.”

During a trip to the United States, she described Nigeria as “a place where almost everything seemed broken.”

Her experiences had a big impact on moulding her conservative values and positioned her against socialism, she explained.

On November 7, Kuti posted on X: “Aunti Kemi Badenoch abi wetin dem dey call yur name, “WE MUST PULL IT, WITH SHACKLES AROUND OUR NECK” history can recall the days of SLAVERY ALUTA”
