Material Culture

Today October 1st, Nigeria celebrates its 51st independence from its British colonial masters.
I posted these artifacts not only for your viewing pleasure but also to commensurate with the on-going celebration of Nigeria Independence Day.
These artifacts are some of several artifacts that reflect the lives and societies of people of Nigeria. And also example of “Material Culture” Newman was talking about in chapter 4 of the Sociology textbook.
Happy viewing…

    I just discovered your blog and read all your posts. I especially like learning about Nigerian culture. Thanks for the pictures of the artifacts. My favorite tennis coach of over 13 years is from Nigeria. He has told me a bit about the culture of his homeland, but I am glad to learn more from your blog.

    AnnaY,
    I hope we'll take the advantage of this class to know more of each other's cultures. I'm so glad you found this posting interesting and hopefully you will visit my blog again to learn more about West African culture.
    Thank you.
