NIGERIA - ARGUNGU FISHING FESTIVAL, KEBBI STATE

In this postcard we can see Argungu fishing festival at Kebbi State.

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.
