BREAKING: I disagree with Kemi Badenoch on her views about Nigeria

Embattled United Kingdom-based pastor, Tobi Adegboyega has said he disagrees with the leader of the British Conservatives Party, Kemi Badenoch on her views about Nigeria.

Adegboyega while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today said it is unfair to say that Nigeria drives her citizens to engage in questionable behaviours.

Recall that Badenoch has been in the news lately for her disparaging comments about Nigeria and her families experiences with the leadership of the country and its police.

However, reacting to the UK Labour leader’s remarks, Adegboyega said there are more criminal activities in the UK than in Nigeria.

He said, “I completely disagree with that statement. Between 2023 and 2024, about 78,000 bags and phones were snatched in London and the UK alone.

“There’s a very strong Nigerian black community in this nation.

For people like the leader of the opposition (party) you just mentioned to get to that position, they’ve been fighting on the street. There were funerals where kids were killed in the UK. They buried three kids from the same parents,” Adegboyega said.

Further speaking, the cleric said that even thag things or life in general might not be easy in Nigeria, the UK is not any better.

“So we cannot disassociate from where we are coming from. We are not denying the fact that our country has issues and we are also not as old as the advanced economies like Britain, but we cannot say things are all dark because it’s not true.

“We live on the street and know what is going on here. We know that prisons and mostly mental hospitals have more young black people than schools in the UK,” the cleric added.
