God please borrow me 100 billion dollars from my account in heaven, I wan tidy somethings now. Thank you,, I give gratitude cool

I was born in Argungu, and grew up there. The festival was one of the events I couldn't wait see each year. Lucky for me, we lived closer to that river, and witnessed the most interesting things about the festival. Apart from these excitements, and that we might have the chance to see the president, it's also the only day in a year we did have excess fish in our pot. Oh my.... I miss my old life!

Yea you're right. You know I spent my childhood experiencing that festival , and recalling those days melts my heart. We had a lot of fishermen as friends who bring us fishes , and we also get chances to see different amazing sizes of fishes. We always wish the festival never ends because of the unusual crowds in our street, mostly fishermen with their fishing tools getting ready for a whistle that instructs them to start fishing. The runnings and shouts after the whistle is like watching ancient soldiers running to start a war. They jump into the river, and no one fails to full the container with fishes. Sadly to say, at least a man die during this competitive fishing in each of the festivals. There is lot to type here about Agungu fishing festival, but time won't allow me.
