Cloth

Celtic-Nigerian Fusion

One of the pleasures about being in Nigeria is the vibrant and original clothes.  I am rapidly finding it harder to resist buying cloth (as a piece of material is called here) and getting it made up into a dress or skirt and top. When I saw this piece at Iffy's stall in the main market I knew it was destined for me.  How often do you find Celtic knotwork in Africa?

Update on the driving licences: Makeji paid the fee to the bank as directed but was then told the money had ended up in the Plateau State Government account instead of the vehicle licencing account it was meant to go to.  Have you tried retrieving money from a government?  At least we have multiple copies of documents which show we're trying to obtain Nigerian licences while we wait for the mess to be sorted out. In some ways it doesn't really matter as the biometric camera in the licencing office is not working so we wouldn't have been able to get official photos taken anyway.
