Honestly, we're losing it all in this country.

Nigeria with a population of over 200 million people should naturally be a place where people beg to visit. Rather, some thinks it even senseless to mention the name.

Where did it all go wrong with Nigeria?

Wow... Our reputation in the mud

A lot of Nigerians are shocked by what happened, but I am not. I witnessed this thing between 30 and 40 years ago.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Nigeria a few days ago and that made the mad people to include Nigeria in their discussions. This enabled some people to see how insane the mad people are.

One lunatic compared Nigeria to Nazi Germany, a senseless were complained that Meghan was touching Governor Sanwo-Olu (she said that Nigeria was a muslim country and women are not allowed to touch men) and all kinds of mad people said all kinds of stupid things about what the couple wore in Nigeria. None of this is new to me.

Dear Diary, I told you all about how the Daily Fail, the Stupid Sun and that useless magazine whose name I cannot remember, chased, hounded and attacked Princess Diana and Duchess Fergie in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In fact, the reason I told you about it was because I was predicting that they would do it to Catherine and Meghan and I have been proved right.

I told you about how those useless rags spied on William and Harry when they were in primary and nursery school and how they tried to spin and twist what the Princes said. These were little children at the time.

I told you about the nonsense that they wrote about Nigeria when Prince Charles and Princess Diana visited in 1990 (in fact, it's in my thread about the visit).

So all this nonsense is basically a repeat of the nonsense that I read in the 1980s and early 1990s.

The lunatic that wrote about Nazi Germany was forced to delete his tweet.

The different sections of the media covered the story from different angles. British tabloids wrote that the Prince and Princess should not travel to Lagos because they could get mugged there. They wrote that Lagos was one of the most dangerous cities in the world with high rates of crime and violence and the royals should not go there (I thought that the articles were quite laughable and crazy. Who would dare mug the Prince and Princess with the number of policemen and SSS operatives that would be deployed to guard them?). Columnists in the Nigerian mainstream press responded with articles that highlighted the crime rate in London at the time and the violence that erupted during the Poll Tax riots of 1989 (I pointed out that we had also had our own very violent SAP riots [the Ebony Magazine edition] in 1989).

The fashion press focused on Princess Diana and Maryam Babangida. Maryam Babangida was noted for her beautiful attires and she brought glamour to the position of First Lady (something that had not been seen since Victoria Gowon in the 1970s). Some women had a habit of watching the news just to see what Mrs. Babangida was wearing so that they could copy it. The visit occurred during a massive fashion boom in Nigeria that lasted between 1988-1991. Fashion houses like Maufechi, Dakova (David Kolawole Vaughan), Supreme Stitches (Folorunsho Alakija), Labanella (Princess Abba Adesanya), Chic Afrique (Opral Benson), etc witnessed growth and many young people wanted to be either fashion designers or wonder bankers. Some newspapers had established fashion columns and NTA2 Channel 5 showed New Trends, a popular fashion show, on their Super 7:20 belt. Princess Diana was also noted for her elegant clothes which were often auctioned to raise funds for charity. Fashion columns were devoted to the question of who would be better dressed, Maryam or Princess Di?

The entertainment and gossip columns (Vintage People, Weekend Concord, etc) turned their attention to Nigeria's own Prince and Princess - the Prince and Princess of Punk, Charly Boy and Lady Dianne Oputa. The press asked Charly Boy what he thought of the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Charly Boy replied that he wasn't really interested in the visit. They asked him if he would meet with Prince Charles. He told them to ask Prince Charles if he would come to the Punk Palace and meet with him. Charly Boy was still very popular at this time. This was not long after his successful songs Big Bottom and 1990.
