Prince Harry And Meghan End Nigeria Tour With Visit To Lagos

Prince Harry and Meghan concluded their three-day trip to Nigeria on Sunday, culminating in Lagos, the nation's business hub, to promote his Invictus Games, which support wounded military veterans. The couple arrived on Friday in the capital, Abuja, where their schedule included a school event focused on mental health and meetings with injured Nigerian soldiers in the northwest.

On their final day, they participated in a basketball program with the Giants of Africa Foundation, an initiative aimed at youth development through sports, led by NBA team vice-president Masai Ujiri. Prince Harry engaged with children in basketball dribbling drills, emphasizing the unifying power of sports in building communities and breaking down barriers.

Harry, who founded the Invictus Games a decade ago after serving as an army helicopter pilot in Afghanistan, and Meghan also met Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and attended a local fundraiser. The governor noted Harry's deep engagement and learning experience throughout the visit.

Earlier, Meghan participated in a women's leadership event with World Trade Organization director Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, discussing her Nigerian roots and role as an inspiration for women. She expressed gratitude for the warm reception and her eagerness to explore her heritage further.

In Abuja, the prince also joined a seated volleyball game with Nigerian veterans, including Peacemaker Azuegbulam, a former soldier and Invictus Games gold medalist who lost a leg in combat. Before arriving in Nigeria, Harry was in London for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. His visits to the UK since relocating to the United States in 2020 continue to fuel speculation about his relationship with his royal family, although he did not meet King Charles during this trip.

Nigeria continues to face severe security challenges, including a protracted jihadist insurgency in the northeast that has claimed over 40,000 lives and displaced millions, and ongoing conflicts with heavily armed criminal gangs in the northwest and central regions.

Prince Harry and Meghan’s Visit to Nigeria to Advocate for Mental Health

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Nigeria on Friday to support the Invictus Games, an initiative Harry established for wounded military veterans. The royal couple arrived in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, where they attended an event at a school focusing on mental health for students.

Upon their arrival, they were warmly welcomed by a drum and dance group representing the Igbo ethnic group. Prince Harry and Meghan toured the Lightway Academy, engaging with students and emphasizing the importance of mental health awareness. Adorned with a traditional Nigerian bead necklace, Prince Harry delivered a message to the students, highlighting the widespread impact of mental health issues.

After they visited the school, Prince Harry and Meghan met with Nigerian military commanders as part of the Invictus program. Their presence at the event left a lasting impression on the students, with one student expressing admiration and inspiration upon meeting Prince Harry.

Prince Harry's trip to Nigeria follows his attendance at the 10th anniversary celebrations of the Invictus Games in London earlier in the week. Speculation surrounding a potential reconciliation with his family in the UK has emerged with each of his visits to the country since relocating to the United States in 2020.

The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry in 2014, have expanded over the years, providing rehabilitation opportunities for wounded veterans through sports. Last year, Nigerian veteran Peacemaker Azuegbulam made history by becoming the first African to win a gold medal at the games held in Germany.

During his visit to Nigeria, Prince Harry is scheduled to participate in a sporting event in Abuja and also visit a military hospital in Kaduna, located in the country's northwest, where he will interact with troops injured in combat. Subsequently, he will travel to Lagos, Nigeria's economic capital.

Nigeria's military is currently engaged in various conflicts, including a jihadist insurgency in the northeast, which has resulted in significant casualties and displacement. Additionally, armed criminal gangs, known as bandits, operate in northwestern and central states, perpetrating mass kidnappings and raids on villages.

Simi Addresses Brymo And Samklef’s Flirtatious Remarks About Her

Singer Simi has finally addressed the flirtatious remarks made about her by her colleagues Brymo and producer-turned-blogger Samklef.

Last year, Brymo stirred controversy when he expressed a desire to engage in a sexual encounter with Simi in exchange for a music collaboration. He claimed that Simi rejected his proposal, leading him to refuse any collaboration with her.

Similarly, Samklef, a controversial producer, recently confessed his admiration for Simi during their early days as struggling artists. He admitted that he refrained from pursuing her romantically to avoid mixing business with pleasure. In a recent interview on Angela Yee's show "Way Up," Simi dismissed Brymo and Samklef's remarks, stating that she does not take them seriously as they lack any logical basis.

In her words;

“I don’t know what these people [Brymo and Samklef] are going on about. The funny thing is that these are two different people and I don’t know why they keep talking about me like that. When you even look at what they’re saying, you can’t even pick out anything. I’m still confused.

“I just feel like it doesn’t matter to me. It doesn’t change anything. My husband is speaking out for me, he is fighting for his woman as he would. I don’t feel anything about this. It doesn’t impact me. I don’t have anything to hide. If you’re going to post that you asked me out and so what? Or that I had an ex [laughs]. The whole thing to me, is more comedy than anything else.”

Speed Darlington: – People Say I’m Better Than Wizkid

Controversial Nigerian rapper, Speed Darlington, has issued a stern warning to fans, urging them to refrain from comparing him to singer Wizkid. The 'Akpi' artist expressed frustration over the frequent comparisons, asserting that he and Wizkid are not comparable entities.

During a recent Instagram live session with fans, Speed Darlington voiced his discontent, questioning the rationale behind comparing him to Wizkid. He highlighted his nearly eight-year tenure in the music industry, emphasizing that he and Wizkid have never crossed paths, despite the singer once acknowledging him in New York.

Addressing the issue directly, Speed Darlington exclaimed, "Why are people telling me that I am better than Wizkid? How do I and Wizkid correlate? Do you know how many years I’ve been in this industry? Seven years. Next year, May 17 or 16, I will be 8 years old in the industry, and I’ve never met Wizkid. Although he has previously acknowledged me in New York. He posted one of my songs. Please, stop the comparison."

The rapper's remarks underscore his frustration with the persistent comparisons and his desire to be recognized for his talent and accomplishments within the music industry.
