Senator Shehu Sani Criticizes Protocol of Harry and Meghan's Nigeria Visit, Calls It "Colonial Mentality."

Senator Shehu Sani, a former legislator, has taken issue with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent trip to Nigeria.  On Friday, Harry and Markle landed in Nigeria to begin their 72-hour tour.

Sani said that the process of how they were received was "utterly disgusting" and that it showed "obsequiousness and colonial mentality."

The politician expressed his admiration for Harry and Meghan's rebellious spirit and his appreciation for their visit to Nigeria in a post on his X handle on Saturday.

“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.” He added.

Harry and Meghan are travelling to Nigeria together for the first time. Other passengers were detained as they were led into a waiting van that had been completely darkened.
