So if you weren't aware, Prince Charles is currently on an eight-day royal tour of West Africa.
Accompanied by his wife Camilla, the heir to the British throne visited Gambia, then Ghana, and is ending the trip in Nigeria.
The tour comes just a few days before Prince Charles celebrates his 70th birthday on Nov. 14. Yes, Prince Charles is a Scorpio.

Just know, jollof rice advocates are very protective of it.
@SimpleSimonFB I'm really sorry for this. The Jollof Rice With Chicken recipe has been removed from the website. #KindRegards - Luc
Prince Charles also gave his best effort at speaking pidgin English and ended his speech with the popular phrase "Naija no dey carry last", which roughly translates as "Nigerians don't finish in last place."
He did however thrill the audience by using the popular pidgin language during a speech in Abuja, saying: “Naija no dey carry last.” (Nigeria always wins!) @ClarenceHouse #RoyalVisitNigeria https://t.co/0ag3CUqoWr
