Kemi came over by herself at 16. She was born in the UK but raised in Nigeria. Best candidate in a poor field.

Your words are slightly confusing. You say she was "born in the UK", but had come "over by herself"?

Also I lay some blame at my own feet for not expanding too far into her biography (I'm only trying to note conflicts of interest), but her parents were Nigerian, gave birth to her in Wimbledon, and she spent her time in both the United States studying, and Laos in Nigeria. Hence the remark about both her parents being migrants (they migrated to the UK originally, hence the birth in the UK). This presents a conflict of interest on border controls.
