Tinubu’s London Moment: Royal Protégé, New Deportation Deal & Kemi’s Silence

Nigeria just witnessed its biggest diplomatic moment in 37 years. King Charles shared the story of Sarah Forbes Bonetta, a Yoruba girl taken into slavery and later adopted by Queen Victoria. At the state banquet, the monarch closed with “Naija no dey carry last,” sparking cheers. Yet while celebrations roared, President Tinubu quietly inked a deportation pact with Sir Keir Starmer. Over 2,000 Nigerians now face accelerated removal from the UK. Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch—poised to become Britain’s prime minister—attended without a word or photo. She watched as Tinubu met stars like Tiwa Savage but offered no praise or greeting. On Nigeria’s greatest London stage in decades, her silence spoke volumes. This isn’t just politics; it’s personal.
