Reacting to the visit, Omokri said he 'thought it would generate more of a buzz in the local and international media than it is generating'.

He wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle:

"I thought the ongoing visit by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Nigeria would generate more of a buzz in the local and international media than it is generating. Rather disappointing news coverage.
"Former #BBNaija housemates get more coverage in Nigeria than the Sussexes just by unfollowing each other on X. In England, the visit is barely registering. In America, it is completely ignored. What is happening? Or did they deliberately ask to be given a low-profile treatment?"
