Go Back To Your Country & Contest”—Irish People Attack Nigerian Vying For Post
There’s a saying that what goes around comes around, and it seems to be playing out in an unexpected way. Yemi Adenuga, a Nigerian woman running for office in Ireland, is encountering hostility similar to the kind some Yoruba APC supporters have directed at others who move to their region.
Adenuga, who is seeking political office far from her home country, is facing significant backlash and humiliation online. Unlike the division seen in Nigeria, her critics in Ireland are not concerned with her ethnic background—be it Igbo, Fulani, or Yoruba—but are questioning why she is campaigning in a foreign country.
Is she seen as an outsider in a place where she’s looking to contribute, or is this merely a case of political resistance?
