Thursday night and our visit is ending tomorrow. We have been invited to a dinner hosted by the Governor at Government House, a gated complex where the Governor is staying including other facilities.
Each of has been given a Nigerian national dress (we were measured for it 2 days before) and we wore it to the dinner. Wait for the pics.
The function was simple and quick. National anthem, speeches by His Excellency and Mr Teo, more presents for us, I think its another set of the Nigerian wear, dinner, a group photograph, ending National anthem and by 9.30 pm it was all over.
By now we are familiar with the Nigerian menu. 2 different kinds of fried rice, the pale Chinese style and the hot style. I will talk about the yam later.
Generally most of their food are spicy. They dont use garlic. There is no custom of dessert or sweets. There is usually a carton of juice produced in Nigeria which is quite good. Last night's dinner even had a bottle of Australian Hardy wine and bubbly drink.
There was a cultural team welcoming us and dancing during dinner.
