WE REACHED OUT TO KEMI BADENOCH FEW TIMES BUT NO RESPONSE, WE WON’T FORCE OURSELVES ON ANYBODY – ABIKE DABIRI-EREWA

WE REACHED OUT TO KEMI BADENOCH FEW TIMES BUT NO RESPONSE, WE WON’T FORCE OURSELVES ON ANYBODY – ABIKE DABIRI-EREWA

Chairman and CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has stated that Nigeria will not compel Kemi Badenoch, the newly elected leader of the UK’s Conservative Party, to identify with her Nigerian heritage.

Dabiri-Erewa revealed that NiDCOM has reached out to Badenoch on multiple occasions without receiving a response.

“It depends on if she identifies the ‘Nigerianness’ in her,” Dabiri-Erewa remarked on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Wednesday, November 6. “We have reached out to her once or twice without any response, so we don’t force people to accept being Nigerian.”

Dabiri-Erewa emphasized that while NiDCOM is open to working with Nigerians in the diaspora, it is ultimately Badenoch’s decision to connect with her Nigerian background. She cited previous instances, such as Miss Universe Nigeria’s identification with Nigeria after facing challenges in South Africa, to illustrate how the commission respects individual choices regarding heritage.

Kemi Badenoch, 44, who was born in London but spent her early years in Lagos, Nigeria, and the United States, won the Conservative Party leadership race on Saturday with 57 percent of party member votes, defeating former immigration minister Robert Jenrick. Her election as the first black leader of a UK-wide political party marks a significant milestone.

In her acceptance speech, Badenoch called it an “enormous honour” to lead but acknowledged the challenges ahead, adding, “It is time to get down to business, it is time to renew.”

    WHITE HOUSE REJECTS ICC ARREST WARRANTS FOR NETANYAHU, GALLANT

    WHITE HOUSE REJECTS ICC ARREST WARRANTS FOR NETANYAHU, GALLANT The White House flatly rejected on Thursday the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ex-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for their conduct in the war in Gaza. “The United States fundamentally rejects the Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials. We remain deeply concerned by the Prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision,” a National Security Council spokesperson told Anadolu. “The United States has been clear that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over this matter. In coordination with partners, including Israel, we are discussing next steps.” The Hague-based court announced the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant earlier in the day “for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024,” when ICC prosecutor Karim Khan sought the warrants In doing so, it also unanimously rejected Israel’s challenges to jurisdiction under articles 18 and 19 of the Rome Statute. The court said it “found reasonable grounds” to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant “bear criminal responsibility” for “the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.” The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing and deliberate blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, pushing the population to the brink of starvation.

    FBI, CIA, DEA BIGGEST BLOW TO DEMOCRACY IN AFRICA, BY RAPHAEL ADEBOYE

    FBI, CIA, DEA BIGGEST BLOW TO DEMOCRACY IN AFRICA! BY RAPHAEL ADEBOYE I just read the document detailing the United States’ multiagency defense of the drug baron in Aso Villa. Let’s be clear about one thing: the FBI, CIA, DEA and other US agencies in that report just delivered the most damaging blow to liberal democracy and representative governance the world has ever witnessed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The CIA and other covert US intelligence agencies have dedicated most of their existence since the post-1945 period to throttling regimes considered inimical to liberal democracy, from Eastern Europe to South America, Asia, and Africa. African leaders have been summarily assassinated, overthrown, or demonized by the CIA and other Western security agencies and propaganda outfits under the pretext that these leaders were undemocratic and “unreasonable.” Telling the Nigerian people that they do not have the right to question the background of the impostor who has imposed himself on them is precisely the same as telling them not to exist or be citizens who fulfill their civic duties. How much privacy is too much privacy? Nigerians know all about the adventures of Hushpuppi, as publicly and volubly disclosed by the FBI, despite Hushpuppi being a private citizen. How is the Instagram Hushpuppi different from this unpresidential Hushpuppi in public office? Even Donald Trump, while merely campaigning, was unequivocally open about his medical records and several other so-called “private” information. So what is all this buffoonery and obfuscatory Glomarization concealing crucial details on a public servant who bludgeoned his way to the highest office in a country of nearly 250 million citizens? What is the point of representative democracy if the people cannot question their public servants about anything and everything? Every liberal democratic constitution I know states that sovereignty belongs to the people. What the FBI, CIA, and others are telling us now is that this is pure speculative fiction. Even pre-colonial African states did not indulge in this level of tone-deafness whenever the people asked consequential questions. How many more people must die? How many more juveniles must be unjustly imprisoned and violated? How many more citizens of this country must suffer and be strangulated? How much more damage must the usurper in Aso Villa cause in Nigeria and the Sahel before the US starts taking its professed commitment to democracy, human rights, and transparency seriously in Africa? At this point, we Africans had better set to work to revive and critically develop our traditional institutions if we ever want to make it out of our current rut. We were democratic long before the Europeans came to tell us their democracy was superior.
