“When I had done the genealogy and I found out about my heritage, the first thing I did obviously was call my mom because I wanted to know if she had any awareness of it and I think, being African American and part of it is really not knowing so much about your lineage, your background, where you come from specifically and it was exciting for both of us to discover more and understand what that really means. Never in a million years will I understand as much as I do now, being here and what’s been echoed so much really in the past day by men and women alike is 'Oh! We weren’t surprised when you found out you were Nigerian, oh no, no, no' and I say that mostly as a compliment to all of you because what they define as a Nigerian woman is brave, resilient, courageous, powerful, beautiful.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Meghan, Duchess of Sussex:
“I often find that, whatever travels I’ve done regardless if it's Nigeria, or another country around the world, often times, when women reach the peak of success, they leave. But you need to come back home, you need to at least be a familiar face for the next generation to say 'Oh she looks like me, and I can be that.' And I think that is a really key piece in all of it where success isn’t defined by oh, you’ve gone out, you’ve gone somewhere else, it's defined by and you still always want to come back home because that’s how you are going to help shift any sort of generational pattern that might be stifling especially for young girls who need to see someone who looks like them in that same position of power and...”
Summit moderator (English): “you have come back home.”

STORYLINE:
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, said it’s been “humbling” to find out through a genealogy test that she is partly Nigerian as she met with women in the West African nation on Saturday.
“It’s been really eye-opening to be able to know more about my heritage and to be able to know this is just the beginning of my discovery," she told guests at an event on women in leadership co-hosted by Nigerian economist and head of the World Trade Organization Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Meghan is visiting Nigeria for the first time with her husband Prince Harry to promote mental health for soldiers and young girls.
"What’s been echoed so much really in the past day by men and women alike is 'Oh! We weren’t surprised when you found out you were Nigerian," she said.
"I say that mostly as a compliment to all of you because what they define as a Nigerian woman is brave, resilient, courageous, powerful, beautiful," she added.
The Duchess of Sussex had announced in her podcast in Oct. 2022 that she was "43% Nigerian," having discovered that earlier through a genealogy test, a DNA-based genetic test that people use to trace their ancestral origin.

Such a fraud🤮🤮
Takes one to know one William...
Then hopped on a private plane back to California!😅
She is a Princess 👑. That why we keep calling you white supremacy because you think any Africa should not be rich. (Princess and First Ladies alike)
Camilla wore a $10 million dollar broach to meet people poor British people. The diamonds 💎 came from Africa 😂 99% likely stolen.
Learn what irony. No it is not envy
To see her children Kate...
@@TruthBeTold-oq5qlshe should have brought her children with her in Nigeria, I"m sure her children are 7% Nigerian
###When you genuinely love and like other human-beings ❤️, they like and love you back. And you DO NOT HAVE TO PAY NOR BRIBE them, because you are "Fake Royals who cannot be in the line of king David since you are not Jewish and most especially since the KING LINE OF THE JEWS ENDED BEFORE THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST.###
Meghan 🤮
She is dressing far to skimpy.That is not respectful .
Stupid crowd applauding this megaliar
This person is not well!!!
How can you return if you’ve never been there before?
Please stay in Nigeria. Don’t go back please.
Shut up
she is NOT NIGERIAN. HER DAD IS EUROPEAN AND FROM AMERICA. HER MOM IS BARELY BLACK.
oh 🤫those lips!!
OMG shut up
Wow did you just hear what she boasted about herself! She said that it is a compliment to all Nigerian women that she too like them is regarded as brave, resilient, courageous, powerful, beautiful. I wonder who said they were not surprised that Meghan was Nigerian...if anyone did at all. What a strange and twisted boast that she attempted to turn into a compliment to those listening. It is so obvious!!!!!
She makes things up.
Megan should not have been there speaking to the Nigerians she said never in a million years w ould I think I was part Nigerian
What wrong with these people? They’re actually clapping for her. Come on Nigeria.
Meghan HAS NEVER CLAIMED TO BE BLACK WHEN SHE LIVED IN AMERICA, NOW SHE IS MAGICALLY CLAIMING NIGERIAN HERITAGE?? This is THE TRUE DEFINITION OF MENTAL ILLNESS.
Stupid nigerians
Look up the word "fake" in the dictionary...Me-agains picture will be next to it!! I actually believe the word fake was invented specifically for this woman!!! The way she changes her stories and can easiiy lie in order to make the story fit a particular narrative she needs at any given time, is truly remarkable to watch!! he makes me want to throw up...and don;t get me started on that ridiculous smirkish fake smile...
Speak to the first lady of Nigeria.
Said a whole lotta nothing
looks like them???? please, harry looks a Nigerian a meg does
Loose lips sink ships
I guess she forgot her dad is White?🧐🤦🏻♀️
I will explain it to you. African American called it the “wake-up 📞 “. She is now awaken
THE Difference between BLACK and WHITE is exactly that. ✍🏼
Hate to be the bearer of bad news 📰 but most biracial tends to run to the black community when they are in TROUBLE. Because people including them Keeps forgetting who and what white people are.
And I don’t understand why people get mad at whites. They have NEVER wavered in who they are on this planet. 🌏 I mean never!
Ask the Romans. 900AD. 1492 1990 2024 = same same same.
Her own white family. Harry and those in the UK will choose “white group” over Meghan -the individual “
And she just woke up.
But most biracial already know this !!!
Because their own white parent tells them THEY ARE BLACK.
Harry tells her she is black because 1+1= 2
Black counts people like raindrops and the universe
1+1= 1. You are always added to them …not just counted as others
………
That is the major difference in Nigeria vs the Uk.
Meghan lived her whole life as white woman 👩 not a biracial until she realized she was never “added” to white.
Nigeria gives her the HRH Princess title just because she is a human being and an invited guest. Because marriage of any relationship is 1+1= 1
I feel sorry that she doesnt understand the need of covering herself.
The aim is not to be beautifyl here but to respect other peope customs, respect your husband publicly by wearing appropriate clothes and send a overall message of humility.
Very saddened to watch.
We don't care what you think or what this means Meghan. She is insulting them, the same as she did to the queen, the RF and the British people. She has no manners.
😮
Sad spectacle
Why?
@@albah289she’s phony as the day is long.
There is no substance to her
@@privatename4786 She has a EUROPEAN DAD, SO PART OF HER NEEDS TO GO TO EUROPE.
Returning home ??
Hmmmmmmmm.
Go make up with your pappy flunting 24 7 but made with 0 feelings for dad yuk
We love Princess Meghan. Always have and always will.❤ May our Heavenly Father continue to bless Princess Meghan with strength, peace and health.
Shes Not a Princess, Never Has been, Never Will be. You're as Insane as She is. 🤯
Meghan's Mum looks like IGBO tribe of Nigerian ,She resemblelv Igbo woman 👩 ♥️
AND HER MOM IS BARELY BLACK OR OF AFRICAN DESCENT.
