The much anticipated Nigerian Culture Day came and went today! Everyone was right when they told us we'd be exhausted (and we cut it short, ending the day an hour earlier than usual).
This is an annual event that the school puts on to celebrate Nigeria's independence. This was the celebration of their 51st year of independence from Great Britain. The day was filled with native tribal dancing & music, skits depicting a traditional wedding, gobs of Nigerian food to sample, a market to shop for arts & crafts, and numerous activities for the children to partake in throughout the day. The kids had a great time, although they were a bit tired from standing for so long to listen to the speakers. And it was a hot day! It was even more fun to see everyone dressed-up for the occasion. Some were dressed in traditional clothing, others - not so traditional, more fashionable. As you can see from the pics, my outfit is more traditional, Britte's is more fashion-forward:)
