(8 Nov 2018) Britain's Prince Charles broke into Pidgin while delivering a speech in Nigeria's capital, Lagos on Wednesday.
The Prince of Wales said it was particularly special to be in Lagos after nearly 30 years, saying the only words to describe it were '"God don butter my bread", a term in Pidgin meaning "God has blessed me."
He continued the trend of weaving in the widely spoken west and central African language into his speech by adding that "If life dey show you pepper, my guy, make pepper soup," which roughly translates to "life is what you make it."
The prince also spoke about his commitment to Lagos through The Prince's Trust initiative, which sees money invested in return for social value.
The visit in Lagos was Charles' final stop of his eight-day trip to west Africa.
His wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, accompanied him on the previous seven days of the royal tour, but left her husband to carry out his final engagement by himself.
