Stanford University has rejected Kemi Badenoch’s claim that she was offered a pre-medicine scholarship at age 16, with its former admissions officer stating no record exists and that such offers would never be made based solely on test scores or in partial form.
UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has publicly condemned the racist and personal attacks she has faced since her election, describing the backlash as “Kemi derangement syndrome”
“There’s a certain cadre of people who can’t cope with the fact that I won this,” says Badenoch on rising racist abuse.
In a bold statement, UK Minister Kemi Badenoch emphasized her primary identification as British, stating that while she holds Nigerian nationality, it does not define her ethnicity.
Badenoch likened her Nigerian boarding school to a prison, recalling 300 girls crammed into dorms, fetching water in buckets, and cutting grass with machetes—an experience that forged her discipline but left lasting scars.
“…I’m Nigerian through ancestry, by birth despite not being born there because of my parents, but by identity I’m not really.”
“Home is where my now family is… my children, my husband… the Conservative Party is very much part of my family,” she added.
Badenoch had told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria that she could not pass on her Nigerian citizenship to her children because she is a woman.
Contrary to her misleading claim, her children are Nigerians because she is a Nigerian.
