I don't see anything cultural or African in the carnivals in Calabar, Rivers State (CARNIRIV) and Lagos State (not Eyo). I used to love that of Rivers State upto the mid 1990s when it used to be RIVERFEST, before it was changed to CANIRIV.

author=kingphilip post=32046098] 9. Argungu Fishing Festival
You may have experienced some fascinated water activities around the
world but if you have not been to Argungu fishing festival, your list
may not be complete. The alluring dynamics of the festival, the exciting
spectators, and the anxious competitors who are ready to jump inside
the river to begin their search for the biggest fish make this fishing
festival extraordinary and beautiful.

10. New Yam Festivals
One festival that is celebrated around the country is the New Yam
Festival; from the Leboku in Ugep, Cross River State to the Iriji-Mmanwu
festival in Enugu State, the festival is celebrated in pomp and
cultural display. Hundreds of masquerades, dancers in beautiful attires,
acrobatic displays and fetish activities make it one festival that you
should not miss.



So, with these colourful festivals in
their full swings, it seems like a good
time to pack your bags and visit
Nigeria to experience some of these
cultural festivals. Let us know what
your favourite festivals are.[/quote] if ikeji arondizuogu is not there,
then there should be no list in the first place. go comfirm for
yourself on april 17th-26th
