Over the decades, the festival evolved into a premier cultural event in Nigeria, attracting visitors from around the world, until security concerns and financial constraints transformed it into an intermittent celebration. According to organisers, the last complete edition took place six years ago. [Sodiq Adelakun/Reuters]
Fishermen drifted atop spherical brown gourds across the Matan Fada river, using nothing but their bare hands and nets to pursue prized catches in the cloudy depths. Thousands of spectators crowded along the riverbank, erupting in enthusiastic cheers. [Sunday Alamba/AP Photo]
