It’s easier than you think to get the measure of Kemi Badenoch – just ask around in Nigeria | Nels Abbey

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch recently went viral over her comments on sandwiches and moist bread’ Comments were met with glee, quips and comedic clapbacks from political rivals.

But a few lines down in the exact same interview, she made comments that should be eye-wateringly beneath the holder of the office of Leader of His Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition .

Badenoch and I both received a better education there than we would probably have had as inner-city working-class Black children in the UK at the time.

We were gifted cultural awareness, language skills, knowledge of self, confidence in self, debating skills and consistent exposure to successful people who looked like us.

This helps explain why so many Nigerians are emerging at the top of western societies.
