Erin & Se' meeting the King of Egedi, whose 50th anniversary of his coronation was celebrated during their visit. This King is the one who bestowed upon Erin's grandparents the title of honorary chief, Chief Gbaiyegun, now reserved forever for the McGee line. The McGee's served as pioneering Baptist missionaries in the bush of Yorubaland from 1940 to 1975.
John David McGee, my father-in-law, with Chief Awolokun, his life-long friend and host in Nigeria. This Chief was adopted by Erin's grandparents when he became a Christian. He was dis-owned by his family, and the McGee's supported him through his schooling.
Se' visiting a typical Nigerian primary school. Electricity and plumbing in Nigeria are still rare, and the poverty is evident.
Erin & Se' meeting some Nigerian royalty or chiefs.
Erin in Nigeria, happy as she typically is (unless the house is a mess)!
