Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may no longer hold official royal duties, but their recent visit to Nigeria bore a striking resemblance to a royal tour, according to a source close to them and Nigerian high society.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's trip to Nigeria was hastily organized upon learning that the Earthshot Prize would be heading to South Africa this year. Behind the scenes, the situation has reportedly been chaotic, with many officials suspecting the couple of being under the influence and unaware of the country's political and socioeconomic climate. Meghan's interactions and attire have been perceived as highly disrespectful and rude by many.
Both Harry and Meghan have been rumored to be under the influence of substances, causing significant stress and problems even before their arrival. Allegedly, they are charging all expenses to Nigerian taxpayers and the Invictus Games Foundation, including police services and exclusive access to a mansion owned by a Nigerian tycoon. This tycoon is linked to an associate of theirs from Jackson Hole, who has connections to various political entities such as the GOP, CP, ER, and CCP.
In an unexpected twist, Harry and Meghan Markle recently associated with a federally indicted fugitive wanted in the United States, according to DailyMail.com. The new acquaintance, Alan Ona, is allegedly involved in a $20 million money laundering and bank fraud scheme. Ona, who flew the couple into Lagos on May 12th, was part of the welcoming committee that greeted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their Nigerian Riviera tour. The tour included a small group of dignitaries, including senior military and government officials. Ona was photographed with the Sussexes as they departed their Air Peace aircraft. Air Peace, founded by Ona, is not his only claim to fame. The 59-year-old businessman is a wanted man in the United States, facing multiple charges linked to millions of dollars worth of alleged fraud.
According to a federal indictment filed in November 2019, Ona is accused of laundering more than $20 million from Nigeria through US bank accounts. The case against Markle's new friend is being pursued by the US attorney in Georgia, who states that Ona allegedly leveraged his status as a prominent business leader and airline executive while using falsified documents to commit fraud. Despite these charges, Ona is still able to socialize with high-profile figures like Harry and Meghan, who may well welcome him to Montecito in return for his hospitality. Rumor has it that Meghan might even be bestowed the title of Nigerian Warrior Princess.
Speculation abounds that Harry may have discovered a new money-making scheme during the trip. You might receive an email soon that reads, "Hello, I'm a Nigerian prince who needs your bank account number to deposit my enormous family fortune in the US and give you 43% of the money for your troubles."
Harry and Meghan enjoyed an all-expenses-paid trip, including security, lodging, and meals. However, not all Nigerian citizens are pleased with their scarce resources being spent on these two controversial ex-royals. According to the New York Post, a report linked to an archived article states that a non-governmental civil rights advocacy group, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), has called for a comprehensive investigation into the recent visit of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to Nigeria. The group objects to the money spent on the visit, among other concerns.
