Meghan too naked?
Nigeria’s First Lady outraged by scanty clothing
Duchess Meghan's visit to Nigeria is still causing a stir. During her stay in the African country, the Duchess wore several outfits that are considered rather revealing compared to local fashion. Shortly after her visit, the Nigerian First Lady sharply criticized scantily clad Hollywood stars. However, it is not true that she was referring to Duchess Meghan. She has now even officially denied this via her office.
In a speech in Abuja in May to mark the first anniversary of her husband taking office, Tinubu called on teenagers and young people to dress more modestly and reject the scanty clothing worn by US stars.
"Are not a Met Gala"
"We have to save our children," she explained. "We see how they dress. We don't have a Met Gala. And everybody, the nudes, are just everywhere and the men are well dressed." She continued, "Tell them we don't accept nudity in our culture. It's not beautiful. It's not nice at all."
The proximity in time to Meghan's visit to the country gave the impression that Tinubu was also referring to her. However, she has now denied this according to People magazine.
"Why did Meghan come here looking for Africa?" asked Tinubu. "This is something we need to take home with us. We know who we are. Don't lose who you are," the first lady said.
According to the First Lady's office, Tinubu was referring to the fact that the Duchess had made her journey to find her Nigerian ancestry and identity.
"She was referring to the fact that Meghan appreciates the people we are and that's why she came here," the First Lady's office said. "At no point did she say anything about Meghan's attire."
Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were in the West African country for three days in early May at the invitation of Nigeria's Chief of General Staff, whom Harry had met on the sidelines of the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf.
The couple visited charities, schools and hospitals.
Next stop Ghana?
Rumor has it that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan could soon be making another trip to Africa. After their "success" in neighboring Nigeria, Ghana now also wants a high-profile visit from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and is planning to invite them, reports the Mirror.
A source told the British newspaper: "There is already a lot of talk in Ghana and they are very keen for Harry and Meghan to come and experience the great culture and warmth..."
