Your Envoy Is Ignorant And A Priceless Fool, Fani-Kayode Tells UK Government

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council’s Director of New Media, Femi Fani-Kayode has called on the British Government to recall its Deputy High Commissioner, Benedict Llewellyn-Jones, from Nigeria.

Fani-Kayode on Tuesday described the British envoy as “bullish, uncouth, dangerously incompetent and painfully inconsiderate”.

According to the APC chieftain, Llewellyn-Jones is “like a bull in a China shop”.

The former aviation minister earlier warned the Deputy High Commissioner of the UK to Nigeria, saying he should remain a silent observer and keep off from Nigeria’s politics.

On Monday, Fani-Kayode described Llewellyn-Jones as a “mischievous, misguided, unlettered and little Englander” who is representing a country that has committed the highest atrocities across the world and is trying to impose same-sex marriage on Nigeria.

The former aviation minister was reacting to Llewellyn-Jones’ statement on Sunday where he faulted him for his recent comments considered to be inciting.

Fani-Kayode had in one of his tweets said that the greatest lesson of the 2023 presidential election “is that God will NEVER allow a practising sod0mite and his repugnant retinue of perverts, pimps, fraudsters, court jesters, degenerates, monkeys, slaves and malefactors to lead Nigeria”.

On Sunday, the British envoy said, “Yes, let’s be specific, there were some people like Femi Fani-Kayode; what is he saying and why is he saying it? I don’t understand.

“It is wrong from my perspective that he will speak on behalf of a party and that party does not distance itself from him and say stop doing that. It is wrong to say that.”

“To me, it is really important, people who have said I am part of a party’s press and media campaign, well, the party itself should say no you are not, and you should stop and we do not agree. I know that some leaders very clearly said we are about unity, and that is good, I encourage that,” he added.

However, on Tuesday, Fani-Kayode in another statement said the British Government should withdraw the envoy from Nigerian “for interfering in our internal affairs and attempting to involve himself in our politics”.

The APC chieftain further said, “He is better suited to work as an air host/hostess on British Airways, serving drinks and food to the passengers in the economy class of the long haul London/New York trans-Atlantic flight route, than working for the British High Commission in Nigeria.

“It is a sign of great disrespect to our country that a so-called diplomat that is as shallow, dim-witted, intellectually-stunted, partisan, unprofessional, partial, arrogant, forward, disrespectful and limited in his knowledge base as this can be sent here to represent the UK.”

He said Nigeria deserves “far better”.

The statement further read, “I am still waiting for evidence of my so-called ‘hate speech’ against the Igbo from him.

“I guess in his little globalist mind saying that Lagos belongs to the Yoruba and is not ‘no man’s land’ is hate speech.

“I guess to him saying that those that come from outside the South West to live in Lagos ought to respect the Yoruba is hate speech.

“Again I guess that to him saying Enugu belongs to the Igbo and is not a ‘no man’s land’ is also hate speech or that non-Igbos that choose to live in Enugu should respect the Igbos that have hosted them is hate speech.

“Yet again I guess that to him saying that Kano belongs to the Hausa-Fulani and is not a ‘no man’s land’ is hate speech or that non-Hausa Fulani’s that live in Kano should respect the Hausa Fulani’s that have hosted them is hate speech.

“Permit me hop across to Ben’s own UK to drive home the point.

“I guess in his little globalist world Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast (the capitals of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland respectively) are no longer Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish cities and territories but are now ‘no man’s land’ even in the era of devolution where each of those three ethnic nationalities take immense pride in their growing independence from the English and in their cultural and historical values and roots.

“I guess saying that Edinburgh belongs to the Scots and is not ‘no man’s land’ is hate speech to the likes of Ben.

“It is also hate speech to him to say that non-Scots that have chosen to live in Edinburgh should respect the Scots that have hosted them.

“Same goes for Cardiff and Belfast. If you say that either belongs to the Welsh or the Irish respectively and that they are not ‘no man’s land’ Ben will describe it as hate speech and if you say that the people of each must be respected by those from the outside that have chosen to stay there, he will again call it hate speech.

“What type of man is this little Englander who sees hate in everyone and everything? What an inelegant and priceless fool he is.

“Forgive me for describing him as being one step removed from the village idiot.

“Someone please tell him that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being an ethnic nationalist and seeking to preserve your identity, land, culture, values and ways as a people whilst at the same time opening your doors to others from your nation and welcoming them with open arms.

“There is a great difference between peaceful co-existence based on love and mutual respect for your fellow compatriots and a total and complete capitulation and rejection of who we are and where we are coming from as a people.

“We espouse the former and reject the latter. Being a proud Nigerian does not mean I have to turn my back on the fact that I am also a proud Yoruba man. They are not mutually exclusive. The two can go together and we take pride in both.

“The same goes for my fellow Nigerians who happen to be Hausa, Fulani, Igbo, Ijaw, Tiv, Itsekiri, Bini, Efik, Kanuri, Shuwa Arab or anything else.

“We are ALL first and foremost Nigerians but we all came from somewhere that existed for thousands of years long before Nigeria was established.

“Would someone please try and explain all this to this poor, lost, ignorant little soul called Ben? He needs to know before he makes any more embarrassing blunders about our people and country and before he attempts to lecture us or involve himself in our politics again.

“Next time we will be ready for him.”
