Prince Harry, Meghan Visit: Protocol Displayed Colonial Mentality – Shehu Sani Says

Senator Shehu Sani, a former Nigerian lawmaker, has picked holes with the recent visit of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Nigeria.

According to Sani, the protocol displayed “obsequiousness and colonial mentality, claiming it was utterly disgusting.”

In a post on his X handle on Saturday, the lawmaker said he likes Harry and Meghan because of their rebellious attitude and appreciated their visit to Nigeria.

He said: “I like Harry and Meghan because of their rebellious attitude and I appreciate their visit to my country; but the obsequiousness and colonial mentality displayed by the protocol of their visit is utterly disgusting.

"I hope when the elder brother comes, our officials will not carry him on their shoulders.”

Recall that Harry and Markle arrived in Nigeria for their 72-hour tour on Friday.

This is the first time Harry and Meghan are visiting Nigeria together.

Other travellers were held back while they were escorted off into a waiting blacked out minibus.
