Thinkerman Posted March 22, 2005 Traditions remain strong in africa Fishing festival Race to fish The Argungu Fishing Festival is the culmination of a four-day cultural event in the north-western Nigerian state of Kebbi. Thousands of fishermen line up like an ancient army, carrying their traditional nets and gourds. At the sound of a gun, they pound towards the narrow river and leap into the water. They have just one hour to catch the biggest fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
