Another Baby Naming Ceremony

Our supervisor Obaku’s second wife just had a baby.  It is his sixth child.  We got invited to the baby naming ceremony. A man on a motorcycle came to our house to formally invite us.

Our invitations. These are cough drop flavored candies which sounds gross, but they are not that bad tasting. They our popular because during the dry season, it is dry and dusty and everyone has sore throats and stuffy noses. This weather makes for some amazingly black boogers.

Obaku, his wife, the new baby, and another one of his daughters.  Obaku is pretty young to already have two wives and six children, but his father was a chief and he is better off than most men.
