Imoleoluwa's Naming Ceremony

I had the honour last thursday to be invited to the Naming Ceremony for my friends Newborn Son. I was invited to take my camera and now having reviewed the photos, my friend Timi has given me permission to post some of them here.

It was an exciting and bewildering experience, I wish I knew more Yoruba so I could understand a bit more. Only in ceremonies like this can one feel simultaneously completely out of place and an alien, and yet made to feel completely welcome.

Hooray for Mothers everywhere.
