I suppose that colonial mentality is still at play...........The Emir being the subject and Charles being King.

The people in charge of Protocol etc etc did not for a moment think properly about the sitting arrangement. Prince charles IMHO would have felt more comfortable sitting on the couch beside the Emir He must be saying in his mind.....,,,,heneeee.......what manner of people.

Hmmmmm.....so he visited the famous Indigo Tie and Dye pits in kano.
Hope they arranged at least a Mini-Durbar to further entertain him
He did not take Camilla with him.........hmmmmm Caboose » Kano Durbar
