"Meghan [the Duchess of Sussex] has written the Paramount Ruler of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, for his hospitality and warm reception during their 3-day working visit to Nigeria last month.

...

"Her personal correspondence sent to Oluwo reads 'Thank you for your warm welcome to Nigeria. I’m deeply humbled by your blessing of the traditional Yoruba name, Adetokunbo. I treasure the name and appreciate your trust in me to carry it with grace and dignity.

"'Our visit to Nigeria was important for many reasons, but not least because it gave us an opportunity to explore and understand my heritage, which extends to our children. We look forward to coming back home one day soon.'"

More on the Nigeria visit and Emperor Oba plus an unintentionally hilarious video by u/Hermes_Blanket

More on the Nigeria visit and Emperor Oba, plus an unintentionally hilarious video Here is the official Facebook page of Emperor Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, Paramount Ruler of Iwoland, who gave MM her new name "Adetokunbo" and to whom she wrote her calligraphy-laden thank-you note: https://ift.tt/gGHPkWJ a few things stand out. First, Emperor Oba is Muslim. If you look at the photos on his page, ALL the women are wearing modest clothing. Including his very elegant and beautiful Queen. NONE of them are wearing backless dresses, spaghetti straps, shorts, or skirts slit to the thigh. So much for the sugars' proclamations that Nigeria barely has any Muslims and Nigerian women dress just like Meghan all the time.It makes me wonder what Oba really thought of Meghan.If you look at the entry for April 24, the Nigerian First Lady visited him so they could ceremoniously initiate the construction of a new girls' school together. This is the same First Lady who couldn't be bothered to meet MM or visit a school with her. There are a ton of photos. Again, all the women are covered up (as are all the men!).If anyone still has any questions why Nigeria agreed to this faux royal visit, it's made clear in the entry for May 12:"It could be recalled that the founder of Invictus game, Prince Harry with her wife, Meghan Markle, has arrived in Nigeria on a 3- day working visit since last Friday. Giving his royal remarks, Oba Akanbi commended the Chief of Defense Staff, General Christopher Musa, for bringing sanity to the Nigerian army through multifarious activities including honouring the veterans, wounded and injured soldiers with Harry's visit. Oluwo equally expressed assurance the visit will re-engineer the kinship of Meghan ancestral connection with Nigeria, widening the chance of Nigeria to host Invictus game 2027 and enhance the proposal to site the game centre in Nigeria in support of the soldiers."I'm elated to be that of this event. I'm impressed with the current leadership of the Nigerian army. They are improving the tempo of our security architecture and boosting the morale of veterans, wounded and injured soldiers""The visit of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, respectively, facilitated by the Defense Headquarters is heroic. It will cement the security partnership and enhance Nigeria's chance to host the 2027 Invictus game. I'm honouring Meghan with a Yoruba name "Adetokunbo" meaning "Crown has come home from abroad". Hate to tell you, Megs, but all the attention was solely in hopes of getting something. Not because of your fabulous self.Here's the video of Haz and Megs being presented with traditional clothing (also on May 12). Just can't wait to see Harry wearing these duds. He looks extremely uncomfortable. https://ift.tt/ts8yjGX post link: https://ift.tt/i0ZYdbm author: Hermes_Blanket submitted: June 04, 2024 at 09:04AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.
