    Images from Nigeria taken between 1964-1967, sharing with the members

    These images are taken from my slides and scanned before posting. No C&C is necessary. Please note that I had to give a "dash" to the headman before the pictures could be taken. The Camera used was the Pentax MX with the 40-80mm lens.

    A BUSH WEDDING.

            This is a very interesting collection of images, that have enlightened me. I enjoy history, and these have a great historical value. Thanks.

              Thank you Graydon. John. since you are interested in history you might like to look at my previous posting under a similar heading which shows images of Lt.Col Ojuku, the former Biafran leader who declared UDI from Federal Nigeria in 1967, and I had to escape with my life + pics back to UK.
