Media personality, Dele Momodu, has taken to social media to ask God to “deliver” leader of the British Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch from “whatever might have traumatized her so much while growing up in Nigeria.”
He made the public prayer while reacting to a video in which Kemi said she went to a boarding school in Nigeria that looked like prison. In a fresh interview, Badenoch said that attending the Federal Government Girls College, FGGC, Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria, was a prison experience.
The British politician said she was made to cut the grass and wash the toilets with no running water, as a student.
“I went to a secondary school, it was called a federal government girls school in a place called Sagamu. And that was like being in prison when I tell the stories about using a machete and having to fetch buckets of water.
And that was the first time that I was away from home, away from my family. It’s a federal boarding school. And it was a dormitory with about 150 [girls] I think, 20 to 30 in a room. And there were, you know, six rooms.
The machete was for cutting the grass. Well, because, who else is going to cut the grass?
This is a federal school where, this old grammar school system sort of fading out, and everyone who passed an exam and got a certain school, got to go to a federal school.
And this was more socialism. So they sprinkled people around. They didn’t want one school getting all the best results. They would mix people about so you could end up getting sent thousands of miles away to a boarding school, you know, at the extreme end of the country.
So I was lucky. I didn’t get sent too far away, but I was very far from home. I’d never been away from home before, and it was like Lord of the Flies, you know, the students were in control.
We needed to look after the school grounds. So using a machete, having to clean toilets with no running water. I’m not going to go into the description of that,” she stated
Reacting to the video, Momodu wrote;
‘’I truly and genuinely love MADAM KEMI for her personal accomplishments but I often shudder, feverishly, at her unfortunate denigration of Nigeria at every opportunity… May God almighty deliver her from whatever might have traumatized her so much while growing up in Nigeria…”
