The First Lady of Nigeria has denied claims she criticised Meghan Markle 's outfits during the Sussexes' visit to the West African country last month. The Duchess of Sussex visited Nigeria with her husband, Prince Harry , in May, and during their 72-hour trip, she often changed her outfits. It was claimed that Nigeria's First Lady Oluremi Tinubu had berated Meghan for dressing indecently as she gave a speech at an event to mark President Bola Tinubu's one year in office.
Addressing the crowds, she said: "The message here is we have to salvage our children. We see the way they dress. They keep forgetting that Nigeria, we are beautiful.

They don't know where they come from. Why did Meghan come here looking for Africa? That is something we have to take home with. We know who we are.
Don't lose.
