Nigeria 2

[OneHeartySnail]

To continue the discussion.

I thought the comparison with the Duke snd Duchess of Windsor (last post on the previous thread) was interesting.

A visit to a dodgy regime, (Nazi Germany) because they would call Wallis HRH and make it a quasi-royal tour.

Of course, at that point Nazi Germany had a dodgy human rights record, but it was before the horrors of the Holocaust.

Let's face it, with the security and human rights issues there is no way the IG could happen in Nigeria. So that is sn excuse.

There's a fan of the DM upthread, not to my taste, but each to their own.

Bingo!

I would ask you to explain why commenting on a headline infers you are a fan but it’s pointless isn’t it?

Who said it was the back of beyond?
If there is racism, please report it.

Oh, are you the one who's quoting the DM? It's a free country, there's lots of papers. Read what you like.

Well there’s a comparison with Nazi Germany in the op for a start!

I presume you are clueless on how the royal family works, no faux naivety from me, that’s your style not mine. How about you answer the question?

@IsoldeWagner nope not quoted the DM at all, you must be confused…

The dress isn't a good look, that colour is really hard to wear

@BigWillyLittleTodger answering questions doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of the thread does it?

But you can answer the question if you like?

Nigeria is undoubtedly an amazing and diverse country but you are downplaying the problems it is facing. All of my dcs have friends who have Nigerian parents. None of them would ever live in Nigeria again because of the corruption and the political situation.

There's no shame in reading the DM! I've already said that. You can "refer" to headlines if you wish. It's not a big deal.

DNA testing… links back to region and tribe I believe.

You can "refer" to headlines if you wish. It's not a big deal.

never said it was, just don’t like being misquoted

Did you miss the bit where I said it had a serious problem with corruption?

But people only tend to mention the negative aspects of the country in the context of H & M’s visit.

God this thread is like my kids bickering with each other.

Who ARE these M&H defenders who appear out of nowhere when they’re in the papers? More than once I’ve thought it’s like the couple pay people to post on here when they feel they’re going to need positive spin . It’s so, so weird.

There are many threads that will answer your questions you only have to look on the RF board, and also on the posts here why we think this Nigerian visit is unwise, many of us have repeated ourselves time and time again so when you pop up as a new poster I believe on this board, asking the Bingo card questions it does get incredibly tiresome and comes across as being goady.

@shenandoahvalley and with very familiar posting styles

Nor do I.

Well, if that's the only bit of my post you find negative then I guess you agree with the rest of it. Criticising Harry & Meghan for being entertained by a corrupt regime is rather comical given the greedy and immoral antics of the rest of the family.

Yes it’s most bizarre, probably the Bouzy Bugle call.

Were all the visits you listed private visits by the royals or at the request of the government?

@BigWillyLittleTodger

Yes, I do not visit the Royal boards often. I clicked on the thread because I was interested to read about the visit & I’m bored (waiting for dc to finish a club). I don’t believe I’ve said anything goady but that may be because I don’t come here much 🤷🏻‍♀️

So start a thread about them.
This is about The Royal Sussex trip to Nigeria.
Reported differently in different news outlets. Because it's not one big "press".

It wouldn't surprise me at all.

This is about The Royal Sussex trip to Nigeria.

I thought it was hence why I clicked on. But it appears that unless you agree it’s terrible to visit Nigeria & bad to wear too much bronzer you’re view is somehow less welcome. And then the last few pages have descended into banal back & forth.
