The publisher of Ovation magazine, Bashorun Dele Momodu, has prayed to God to help British Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, overcome what traumatised her in Nigeria.
Dele Momodu offered the prayer on social media in reaction to the latest video of Badenoch badmouthing her country of ancestry.
In the video, Kemi recounted attending a federal government college that felt like a prison.
She identified the school as the Federal Government Girls’ College, FGGC, Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria.
The politician told her interviewer that the school had no lawn mower and she and her mates had to do the job.
She also disclosed that she and her mates clean the toilets without access to running water. To get water, they had to use their bucket to fetch it, she said.
Badenoch said it was the first time she was away from her parents in Lagos.
She recalled that each of the rooms held between 20 and 30 girls, while the entire school had about 300 students at the time.
Badenoch recalled that at the time she joined the school, the government was phasing out the old grammar school system.
According to her, school leavers had to apply to study at one of the numerous Federal Government Colleges scattered across the country.
She said the government tried to spread the students so that they would not all be concentrated in the same school.
The politician recalled that some of the students were unlucky to be sent to a boarding school at the end of the country.
But she was lucky to be posted to Shagamu, Ogun State, not too far from Lagos.
She, however, said she found the school too far from home, because she had been used to staying in her parents’ home all her life.
Badenoch likened her experience in the school to the Lord of the Flies, adding that the students were in control.
Momodu, in his reaction to the video, went spiritual. He remarked that he genuinely loved Badenoch for her personal accomplishments.
He said he, however, shuddered at her consistent denigration of her country of ancestry at every opportunity.
“May God Almighty deliver her from whatever might have traumatised her so much while growing up in Nigeria…” he prayed.
However, this has been proven to be false. A child is deemed a Nigerian by its constitution when either of his parents is a Nigerian
