Kemi Badenoch, highest ranking Yoruba minister in the ruling Conservative government, throws in her hat in the race to be PM.

But, is she better understand as Yoruba or of Nigerian ancestry or Nigerian born?

The term ' Yoruba" might have little meaning in UK society.

Thanks

Done a little Googling on Kemi Badenoch.

Her views on race and cultural issues suggest seeing her as Yoruba might be particularly problematic because she might not be living in a world in which such an identity has much relationship with her ideological positions.
