You can change your name to ‘Kim Kardashian’ – Senator Shehu Sani tells Kemi Badenoch after she said she doesn’t see herself as Nigerian

Senator Shehu Sani has asked leader of the British Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch to change her name from Kemi to Kimberly or Kim Kardashian.

This comes after she said that she no longer sees herself as Nigerian and does not possess a Nigerian passport.

While speaking recently on the Rosebud podcast hosted by Gyles Brandreth, Badenoch explained that although her ancestry is Nigerian and she spent part of her upbringing in the country, she does not identify as Nigerian.

“I’m Nigerian through ancestry, by birth, despite not being born there because of my parents, but by identity I’m not really,” she said.

The minister, who was born in Wimbledon, London, in 1980, noted that she had not renewed her Nigerian passport in more than two decades. Despite her roots, she emphasised a personal sense of detachment.

“I know the country very well, I have a lot of family there, and I’m very interested in what happens there,” she added.

Badenoch spent a significant part of her childhood in Nigeria and the United States before returning to the UK at the age of 16. She is among the last group of people to receive British birthright citizenship before the policy was abolished in 1981 by Margaret Thatcher’s government.

According to her

Home is where my now family is, and my now family is my children, it’s my husband and my brother and his children, in-laws. The Conservative party is very much part of my family, my extended family, I call it.”

Reacting to her comments, Sani asked her to go ahead and effect a name change as she no longer identifies as Nigerian.
