Nigeria's independent online newspaper
In an attempt to remain relevant, Olusola Oni, a self-proclaimed Yoruba nationalist residing in Leicester, United Kingdom, has published a lengthy tirade defending Kemi Badenoch’s recent ascent in British politics while launching an unprovoked attack on Femi Fani-Kayode.
Oni’s declaration that “Fani-Kayode is angry because Kemi Badenoch does not want the UK to transform into another Nigeria” is laughable. He criticises the entire Nigerian system while comfortably residing in the UK, enjoying the privileges and comforts afforded by his long-abandoned citizenship. Yet, he condemns Nigerians like Fani-Kayode who choose to remain and challenge the status quo.
He was a brilliant, courageous and distinguished elder statesman and nationalist who was amongst those who fought for Nigeria’s independence from the British, who successfully moved the motion for that independence in Parliament in 1958, who was the third Nigerian lawyer to be made Q.C.
It is pertinent to mention the fact that Fani-Kayode himself studied law at both London University and Pembroke College, Cambridge University in the early 1980’s and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1985.
