[Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began
their 72-hour tour of Nigeria today,
as the Duke evoked memories of
his suffering after his mother
Princess Diana's death.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex met
officials and children at the
Wuse Lightway Academy this morning,
hours after their arrival in Abuja in
the early hours.

Harry spoke to a group of pupils
at the school - which is supported
by the couple's
Archewell Foundation - about
mental health, and referenced
when someone has 'lost a loved one
in your family and you don't know
who to turn to or who to speak to'.]

Bless them, I guess they have to go somewhere where people don’t know what they are really like to get the attention they desperately crave. The way this quasi tour is set up by them they must be yearning after their Royal days when they were widely regarded as relevant before they took off to become American superstars. That didn't go well, did it? :smug: lol

You’re probably the worst of the worst. Markle’s probably sunning herself out and eating okpa in Enugu or catching a vibe in Lasgidi beach or Banana Island. She doesn’t really care about what you’ve got to see.

I doubt that many Nigerians are that interested in H&M's personal soap opera for entertainment or are as fully aware of their awfulness as we are. :laugh:
There are those who think Harry and Meghan are still working Royals.

The British High commissioner in Nigeria, Dr. Richard Montgomery has stated:
The Sussexes are visiting in a private capacity, not an official one.
“The British High Commission is not involved in arranging or facilitating their programme.
“They are not representing the work of His Majesty’s Government"

Assumptions, assumptions. You don’t have a clue.

[Oliver_W]

Good for them, before he decided the Hollywood lifestyle would be more fulfilling Harry wanted to devote his working life to good works across Africa.

[jet]

The USA Travel Advisory rates travel to Nigeria as Level 3 "Reconsider travel" and recommends as follows:
"Reconsider travel to Nigeria due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and armed gangs. Read the entire Travel Advisory."
It adds: "Violent crime – such as armed robbery, assault, carjacking, kidnapping, hostage taking, roadside banditry, and rape – is common throughout the country."

Safer than London then Harry? This will hardly help his recent appeal for top - notch Metro security when he comes to the capital.

Nigerians want the Invictus games to be held there in a few years. Could the athletes even get insurance?

We all know that most Celebrities talk out of their butt when it comes to the climate crisis.

Most of them just want to be seen as "noble" people on the topic, Harry & Meghan are just two of them that behave in such a contradictory way about the climate.

And hopefully they enjoyed their time in Nigeria, I guess.:shrug:

I can see now why his dad didn't want to meet with him prior, because it'd look like it was legitimizing what is basically an unofficial royal tour. But even saying that, the pictures are amazing and for once, they are photographed here very well. Any false pretenses aside, it's so nice to see the smiling faces and genuine energy on full display. It seems the Nigerian people are very good hosts.

[jet]

I thought this was very informative from the Quora site....

I'm of Nigerian origin (Ibo). I left the country twenty years ago but still in touch with family and friends there. Nigeria is a country of 200m people with over 250 tribes with distinct cultures and languages. It is also a modern creation of Lord Lugard who drew a line on the map to carve out the country 'Nigeria'. Nobody can be 43% Nigerian. It doesn't exist. You have to be part of one of the 250 tribes and some of those tribes exist in Ghana or Cameroon. Nigerians know this but they don't feel strongly enough to react. It's just entertaining and they are always up for entertainment.

The truth is that on Nigerian terms, this visit is not significant and cannot be compared to a real royal tour. The Sussexes are not being treated as royals though it suits the media to pretend they are, knowing the British and American audience don't know the difference and don't know much about Nigerians or their culture.

While Nigeria is still a developing country and has its issues, I think it is slightly insulting to look at this mess and take that as representative of the Nigerian government hosting an international event or hosting royals. This visit and all the activities have been hosted and organised by the Nigerian army and military wives and it shows. The Nigerian government is not involved , that is why you see no Ministers or Federal Govt officials at any event. This is not on their radar as an official event. State Governors are autonomous so Kaduna and Lagos State governors can receive them without crossing diplomatic lines and governors receive celebrities all the time.

In my view and that of many Nigerians, the army didn't really go out of their way to put forward their best foot. The attempt feels very 'low effort' and cheap. The state of the locations and banners, the attempt at an inspection of the guards at the Defence HQ security post with mismatched soldiers. They could easily have pulled together a couple of platoons (of soldiers) and staged a proper inspection if that's what they were seeking to do but the Defence Chief is being very careful not to cross diplomatic lines while indulging his visitors with minimal effort and, in my opinion, he hasn't. He is entitled to host visitors without involvement of the Nigerian government. He obviously has his agenda for indulging in it but I promise you he doesn't give a hoot for Harry's feud with his family. He will do the same for any minor royal or celebrity as long as he gets something from it and is staying within his lane.

The whole itinerary for the Sussexes could be replicated, and probably better organised for other international visitors e.g. Kanye , Jay Z, Beyonce, Bill Gates etc. depending on who is hosting them. The difference is in the coverage outside of Nigeria. These celebrities I mentioned don't take their photographers and media to record every reception or visit and send out copy. This is the crux of the matter. The Sussexes and their media enablers are manipulatingthe fact western audiences don't know much about the country to present this visit as more than it is.
From Nigeria's perspective, this is a nothingburger; the government is not involved, no recognised traditional ruler is involved, a gathering of c30 Nigerians around some visitors does not represent a country with a population of 200m. Nigeria has had previous royal visits and the difference is clear. There are longstanding issues but they can and have done way better than this.

This OTT coverage provides content for the media and opportunity to poke the BRF. It will blow over in less than a week and everyone will move on to the next thing. We've seen this movie before with the OTT coverage of the 'revenge' tour, the New York adventures etc. rinse and repeat.
It's just manipulative noise. The media wants to push an agenda and provoke reaction. The best antidote is the BRF's approach of just getting about their affairs which will stand the test of time.

I, for one, am grateful that they are no longer part of the BRF. Going by their activities since they left, they would have been a huge liability and the BRF dodged a bullet there in my opinion. Royal service is not about flash and noise but steady dignity, quiet prestige and disciplined resilience.

For the Sussexes sake, I hope they are able to find a purposeful niche and peace in their post-royal lives. This flailing around and seeming inability to move on from the BRF or seeking adjacency to royalty is not sustainable nor is it conducive to their long-term wellbeing.

Daily Record.
Meghan Markle slammed by Nigeria's First Lady for flaunting 'nakedness everywhere' during visit

Meghan Markle, has been slammed by Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for flaunting her "nakedness everywhere" during her recent three-day visit to the African nation
The royal trip saw the Duchess of Sussex making frequent outfit changes on the trip with her husband Prince Harry, with her fashion choices seemingly offending the First Lady.…..
................
An example was Meghan visiting schoolchildren during the day in a long shoulderless, backless gown, suited to an evening cocktail party. She hasn't a clue.

[jet]

Daily Record
During her visit to Nigeria, Meghan sported a variety of outfits and accessories, splurging nearly £120,000 on jewellery and new attire.
She donned several high-end brands during the trip, including Carolina Herrera, Altuzarra, and Johanna Ortiz.
The decision has been met with backlash considering the severe poverty levels in Nigeria, where over 112 million individuals live in destitution.
The disparity is not due to a scarcity of resources, as Nigeria boasts the largest economy in Africa, but rather because those in power are disconnected from the hardships of ordinary people....

But those close to her are concerned about Meghan herself. “Something’s
seriously wrong,” says a source. “She’s obviously not taking care of herself and
is looking scary skinny.” Nutrition expert Dr. Fred Pescatore (who doesn’t treat
her) estimates that the 5-foot-6 duchess currently weighs about 100 pounds,
down 20 in the last year. And loved ones are blaming her frail frame on her
hectic schedule combined with money woes https://content.invisioncic.com/Mrangmedia/emoticons/craphead.gif( and constant public scrutiny from the privacy tour . Adds
the source, “Meghan is cracking under all the pressure, and it shows.”
