British Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch, who has previously sparked controversy with her remarks about Nigeria, recently shared her negative experiences with the Nigerian police.
GISTSMATE MEDIA earlier reported that the Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima criticised the newly elected UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, for disparaging Nigeria.
But in an interview with The Free Press, which began trending on Saturday, Badenoch was asked whether she trusted the British police.
Responding to the question, Badenoch said: “I do. My experience with the police in Nigeria was very negative, and coming to the UK, my first experience with the police was very positive. The police in Nigeria would rob us.
“I remember the police stealing my brother’s shoes and his watch. It’s a very poor country, so people do all sorts of things.”

Actually, she is lying. Yes, there are rotten eggs in the Nigerian Police, just as there are in the various British Police departments. But you cannot just generalise and tar everybody with the same brush.
In her book Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell said Black folks like to bear, exaggerate and propagate bad news. I thought she was being discriminatory and stereotyping our race. But now I am not so sure.
You watching this, in your encounter with the Nigerian Police have you ever been robbed? You have most likely encountered more good police officers than bad. Yet, you choose to generalise by the behaviour of the few bad eggs rather than the overwhelming gallantry of the many good cops.
Do you think a foreigner watching this will listen to her and hate only the Nigerian Police? No. They will look at all of us the same way. Your value is linked to the value of Nigeria and her institutions.
