In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle recently co-hosted a Women in Leadership event alongside Du Goyo Kyo in AER, the bustling capital of Nigeria.

This marked a departure from her usual public appearances with Prince Harry.

However, her attendance was marred by several missteps that have sparked discussions about cultural sensitivity and professionalism.

Arriving nearly an hour late, Meghan’s tardiness was perceived as a blatant disregard for the event and its organizers.

In professional settings, punctuality is not just a courtesy; it’s a sign of respect.

This late arrival set a lackluster tone for the gathering and left many attendees feeling disheartened.

Adding fuel to the fire, her choice of attire—a dress with spaghetti straps—raised eyebrows in a country where conservative dress codes are the norm, particularly in Muslim-majority areas.

Such a wardrobe choice seemed out of touch with local customs and expectations, further highlighting her apparent cultural unawareness.

Despite her reputation as a prominent figure, the insights Meghan offered during the event fell short of expectations.

Instead of delivering impactful commentary on women’s leadership, she opted to share personal anecdotes about her children, Archie and Lilibet.

While motherhood is a significant aspect of her life, it hardly constitutes a profound contribution to a discussion on leadership.

Her reflections on juggling career and parenting came off as disingenuous.

With her privileged lifestyle, which includes a dedicated staff and childcare support, it’s hard to relate her experiences to those of everyday working mothers facing real challenges.

This disconnect raised eyebrows and questions about her understanding of the struggles many women endure.

During the panel discussion, Meghan’s comments lacked the depth and relevance that the audience craved.

Rather than engaging in meaningful dialogue about economic issues or the role of women in leadership, she focused on her personal experiences, which did little to enhance the discourse.

Attempting to position herself as an authority on the subject, Meghan’s efforts felt flat.

Her lack of concrete accomplishments or significant leadership experience made it difficult for her to command the respect typically afforded to speakers at such events.

Further complicating matters, Meghan expressed gratitude for the warm welcome she received, referring to Nigeria as “my country.”
