“Nigerian Schools Round Up for Holiday”

Photographs and Text by Patrick Amanama

Education, they say it’s wealth and children are the future, the leaders of tomorrow. Presently in Nigeria today, schools are rounding up for the Holiday. Photography being my life, I went round to capture some of the schools on how they were rounding up the session with parties and fun activities. I visited 3 schools. An Islamic school inclusive-

Dance drama…they are trying to show how marriage is being done in the Fulani region of Nigeria. Two guys met the girl differently. She went home, informed her parents.The two guys too, upon getting to their homes, they informed their parents. The parents on their own at different times went to the parents of the girl. A day was fixed for all concerned to come. On the d-day, the families gather and the two young men were made to wrestle. The stronger guy wins and he is allow to take his wife home. Patrick.
