Saturday in Kaduna

Filed under: friends,VSO — kevin @ 18:40

On Saturday I joined a couple of busloads of my colleagues at the wedding of Bello from the exams department. After a bit of a delay we missed the church part of the wedding but made it for the reception. Like Tayo’s wedding it was a Yoruba affair, with lots of singing and dancing.

Afterwards myself and Omoba from the computer centre went back to his place. He lives near where the wedding was held, in Kaduna South, the mainly Christian and non-Hausa part of town. The picture is him with three of his sisters, in the small business centre and computer training place he owns.

We moved on to Barnawa Complex, an area packed with bars and shops, to see another sister. This sister owns a tailor’s shop and has just recently returned from almost ten years living in the Netherlands.
