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 (?)

Dear Kathy

Greetings from N’Djamena (which used to be called Ft Lamy). Arrived here yesterday via Doula, Cameroon. It is hot – 95 degrees or more when we landed. We will be here until Saturday when we fly to Paris for a connection to Abidjan. A long way around but much shorter in time.

Hope all well and will see you soon.

Love, Bill

Hi

This is a very beautiful city and this church especially lovely. It has a colorful tile roof also. It is small and rather cozy. The big church is St Stephen and is cold and unimpressive inside. We did a city tour yesterday, will do museums today, hope for a boat trip on the Danube and to go to opera Sunday.

Love, Va

Dear Va

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
