" "I find it interesting that everybody defines me as being Nigerian. I identify less with the country than with the specific ethnicity [Yoruba]. That's what I really am. I have nothing in common with the people from the north of the country, the Boko Haram where the Islamism is, those were our ethnic enemies and yet you end up being lumped in with those people.

Additional quotes by Kemi Badenoch
It wasn't until predators started exploiting the loopholes that we are having to tighten this.
It is the behaviour of people who are choosing to exploit rights given to transgender people — because the definition is very loose — that we are now having to look at what we can do in order to protect women and children who are the most vulnerable in those single-sex spaces.
It is not easy, the ideal situation would have been if the predators had not chosen to exploit this loophole.
[Badenoch "insisted she was not saying transgender people were predators."] But there are more people who are predators than there are people who are trans.

I would be congratulating Prime Minister Netanyahu. I think what they did was extraordinary.
Israel is showing that it has moral clarity in dealing with its enemies and the enemies of the West as well. [...] Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation, and I think that being able to remove the leader of Hezbollah, as they did, will create more peace in the Middle East.
