 ‘It was like prison’ – Kemi Badenoch shares her experience as a student of FGGC Sagamu


Leader of the United Kingdom Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has said that attending the Federal Government Girls College, FGGC, Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria, was a prison experience.

In a video clip of an interview on social media, the British politician said she was meant to cut the grass and wash the toilet with no running water while at Federal Government Girls School, Sagamu.

“I went to a secondary school, it was called a federal government girls school in a place called Sagamu,” she said.

“And that was like being in prison when I tell the stories about using a machete and having to fetch buckets of water.

“And that was the first time that I was away from home, away from my family. It’s a federal boarding school. And it was a dormitory with about 150 [girls] I think, 20 to 30 in a room. And there were, you know, six rooms.

“The machete was for cutting the grass. Well, because, who else is going to cut the grass?

“This is a federal school where, this old grammar school system sort of fading out, and everyone who passed an exam and got a certain school, got to go to a federal school.

“And this was more socialism. So they sprinkled people around. They didn’t want one school getting all the best results. They would mix people about so you could end up getting sent thousands of miles away to a boarding school, you know, at the extreme end of the country.

“So I was lucky. I didn’t get sent too far away, but I was very far from home. I’d never been away from home before, and it was like Lord of the Flies, you know, the students were in control.

“We needed to look after the school grounds. So using a machete, having to clean toilets with no running water. I’m not going to go into the description of that,” she stated.

Kemi has constantly complained about Nigeria and she recently said she doesn’t want to identify with the country of her birth.
