Femi Fani-Kayode’s response to the Canadian embassy’s denial of visas to Nigerian military officials has certainly been vocal and intense. His words show strong support for Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, who also expressed frustration with the embassy’s actions. Fani-Kayode’s use of the phrase “go to hell” reflects his outrage, emphasizing that foreign governments should treat Nigeria with more respect.
His comment about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state of the U.S. adds a layer of political commentary on the relationship between countries, possibly as a way of underscoring the perceived diminishing sovereignty of Canada. Overall, Fani-Kayode is positioning his support as one of national pride and a call for more dignity in international relations.
It’s a fiery take, but this kind of rhetoric seems aimed at rallying national sentiment and pushing back against perceived disrespect from foreign entities. What do you think of his remarks?
