We do not want nakedness in our culture’: Nigeria’s First Lady slams influence of some American stars on country’s women in speech weeks after Meghan and Harry’s visit

The First Lady of Nigeria has warned the country’s women not to ‘lose who they are’ in a speech given shortly after Meghan Markle’s visit where she also slammed the ‘nakedness’ of US celebrities.

Speaking at an event in Abuja to mark the first year of her husband’s administration, the wife of President Bola Tinubu urged its teenagers and young people to dress more demurely and not ‘try to emulate film stars from America’.

Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who is nicknamed ‘mummy’ by some Nigerian citizens, said: ‘We have to salvage our children. We see the way they dress. 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’.

The First Lady did name Meghan in her speech but was not criticising the Duchess, who met with young women herself in the West African nation on Saturday two weeks ago where she called Nigeria ‘my country’ and announced she is 43% Nigerian.

In her own message to Nigeria’s women on Saturday in the wake of Harry and Meghan’s cultural visit to also promote Invictus, Senator Tinubu said: ‘They do not want to mimic and try to emulate film stars from America.
