Sunday 30th and Monday 31st January 1977.

Today’s update from the diary my seven year old self wrote during the 1977 Festival of Black arts and culture in Lagos, Nigeria.


Sunday 30th January 1977

We went up the creek in a motor boat. We saw a pig digging a hole. We saw birds that dived for fish. There was a big surf. We saw some people that had fishing nets round their shoulders.

Monday 31st January 1977

We went to look at the craft shops at Tafawa Balewa square.
In the afternoon we saw some guns and a man demonstrating how to throw a boomerang. In the evening we went to see dancers from Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago. It was good.
