Kemi Badenoch, Conservative Party leader, during an interview with BBC News, clarified her leadership style, emphasizing that it’s not solely about coming into the UK but also giving back to the country.

Recall that in her initial major policy move as Tory leader, Badenoch declared that migrants in the UK on work visas who have received benefits will not be allowed to stay indefinitely.
She suggested increasing the waiting period for migrants to apply for permanent residency, which is a step towards British citizenship, from five years to ten years.
Her plan also stipulates that those migrants with cr!minal records or those who have claimed benefits or used social housing will be denied permanent residency in the UK.
In the latest episode of The Free Press, she said: “If you don’t defend your culture, it will disappear. When people come to your country, they should want to be a part of that country. We are not a hotel or a dormitory for people who just want to make money and leave.
This is our home, and we need to look after it. That means ensuring that people who come to the country are compatible with those beliefs.”
She added that she believes it involves two things: ”first, encouraging more migration from places that share similar values; and second, ensuring that those who come to the country understand the terms they accepted when moving to the UK.
It’s not about bringing the culture of the other place and turning it into the place that you just came from.”
She said that if she wanted to live in Nigeria, she would have moved back to Nigeria. ”I don’t want to recreate Nigeria in the UK.”
Netizens have blasted Kemi Badenoch as usual for always using Nigeria as a bad example.
