Nigeria

“Nigeria, the most populous single African national on the continent of Africa lies off the west coast and has a rich tradition and culture closely connected with her religious beliefs and the rites and practices relating to them. Traditional religion has given the people a heritage of culture and tradition which is still noticeable despite later influence by Islam and Christianity. The agriculture, music, art, craft, language and economies of the country still bear traces of this influence.”

This was printed and published by a company in Dublin, Ireland. Around 1985 (?)

Lovely mangosteen, rambutan, papaya in Bangkok but none here. Heavy rain in evening but day is starting fine. Hotel plain but ok. My colleague on assignment is good field man. Saturday’s here is day of no work. All ok so far. Slept well last night.

Love, Bill
