Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch, the Conservative party leader, controversially stated she no longer identifies as Nigerian, despite being Nigerian by ancestry and birth. She emphasized her life in the UK over her cultural roots. This perplexity has drawn attention, especially among the Nigerian diaspora who often engage in topics such as money, football, and Nigeria itself. Her comments sparked reactions, including comparisons to Paul Mooney's humorous views on historical figures returning in new forms, reflecting broader themes of identity and race.
Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch stated, "I don't identify with it [Nigeria] any more. Most of my life has been in the UK... I'm Nigerian through ancestry, by birth, despite not being born there, but by identity, I'm not really."
Paul Mooney quipped that every racially aggrieved person once deceased returns in another body to collect what is owed to them, suggesting Hattie McDaniel returned as Oprah Winfrey.
