Merhaba,
It is a beautiful
weekend and sadly I missed the first day of the African Fashion Week Nigeria
but thankfully I am back in the country to attend day 2 of the event and I
would be sharing with you moment from the live stage tomorrow. At the moment my
Instagram feed is buzzing with uploads from the events and I must say that I am
impressed with the organizers of the show. The African Fashion Week Nigeria
this years is at the National Arts Theatre in Lagos(EKO) the commercial and
entertainment hub of my beloved country Nigeria.
The thrills and creative
manifestation of African minds that I have seen so far is worth giving thumbs-up
to the organizers and I hope for more and even better works.
I don too talk about
this event make I shift yan to my trip wey be the koko for today.
My trip to Vakifli was
an unplanned one as I decided to go at the last moment and I was not so sure of
how many people were to tag along but at the end 5 of us took off from the
house to Vakifli village.
The Vakifli village is
in Hatay region, Samandag district, it is the palace in Turkey where only
Armenians live. Vakifli is a small village one part of which looks at Surya, the
other one looks at Cyprus. The specific feature of the village that this place
is the only Armenian village which is not in Armenia and where only Armenians
live. Samandag district and Vakifli village is the proof of tolerant life for
many years along here. You can see here people who are belonging to different
opposing groups. Vakifli was the biggest village in the region in 1940s, but
now there are only 32 houses and about 140 people live here.
The Vakifli Ermeni Koyu Kilisesi
was the main sight of attraction for me but we were not allowed to take picture
in the chapel but the historians there were kind enough to allow me pray and
take pictures outside the church.
The Vakifli Koyu church
is an Armenian sanctuary for her people by her people but open to all who are
respecters of the Armenian culture.
It was a great day in a
historical sight, with great friends and I didn’t miss out in taking pictures,
a habit which I am gradually cultivating.
