diana very shy

[@QueenDiana227]

I don't think its about shyness. She was very unhappy and under the pressure in her marriage. After the divorce She was very joyful, confident and just herself it was the Real Diana She was free but unfortunately her happieness and freedom in her life was too short.

Ade, where is the Colonel today? Would be interesting to hear him speak of his impressions and experience of the visit. Regards

@ John, I have no idea what he is doing these days. He was apparently governor for only 100 days but was relieved of his office owing to his "overspending". He apparently spent 9 million Naira (it was worth much more in those days) to host Charles & Diana for a 24 hour visit and 2 million Naira to host Ibrahim Babangida (the then Head of State).

He passed away a few years ago

Col Lawan's haircut does not look military.

[@Anedoje]

Technically theirs no such thing as a military haircut if you loon at old videos from WW1 and 2 you see many soldiers with full sets of hair, what is allowed is simply based on regulation plus officers are usually giving a lot of leeway in most militaries

[@MegaJohny56]

It was the style of the day a fal back of 1980s hairstyles which were rather full
