Unbeliveable: Meghan Markle Trolled For Outfits On Africa Trip After Nigerian First Lady Slams American Dress
People are debating whether the First Lady of Nigeria subtly criticized Meghan Markle for her clothing choices at an event celebrating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s first year in office.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently spent three days in the West African nation to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, the biennial sporting competition for wounded, injured, and sick veterans that Harry helped found alongside Sir Keith Mills.
In her speech, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu emphasized the importance of preserving the country’s culture from a young age instead of idolizing foreign trends.
She said, “The message here is that we have to salvage our children. We see the way they dress. They keep forgetting that Nigeria, we are beautiful. You can see what they showcase on the stage. I said, ‘We are fashionable; we see what is going on.’
“We are not having the Met Gala. And everyone, the nakedness, is just everywhere, and the men are well-clothed. So we have to do something. Tell them we don’t accept nakedness in our culture. That is not beautiful. It’s not beautiful at all.
