The recent Women in Leadership event, co-hosted by Megan Markle and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, took an unexpected turn as it became a cautionary tale of cultural insensitivity and superficial engagement.

Despite the noble goal of empowering women and advocating for gender equality, the event faced backlash from local audiences due to Megan’s apparent lack of awareness regarding Nigerian customs.

One of the key points of contention was Megan’s choice of attire – a spaghetti-strap dress that was deemed inappropriate and disrespectful towards the modesty norms of the Nigerian culture.

Furthermore, Megan’s limited experience and perspective on issues of inequality raised concerns among the audience.

She seemed to perceive herself as equal in status to Ngozi, despite the glaring disparities in their backgrounds and experiences.

This disparity became more evident during the panel discussions, where Ngozi skillfully deconstructed some of Megan’s arguments with her profound understanding of Nigerian culture and societal norms.

The audience observed these interactions with growing skepticism, which later spilled over to social media platforms, sparking discussions about the authenticity and motives behind such high-profile activism.
