Ilaje Fishermen rules the sea in Nigeria for a reason.


The video showcases Ilaje fishermen from Nigeria, known for their exceptional fishing skills, as they handle a large shark, highlighting their dominance and expertise in the sea, which is a testament to their historical migration and settlement along Nigeria's coastal regions.

The Ilaje people's fishing prowess is rooted in their long history of migrating from Ile Ife and settling along the Atlantic coastline, with communities extending to other coastal areas like Epe, Warri, and Brass, reflecting their widespread influence and adaptability in fishing.

Shark fishing, as depicted, involves significant effort and specialized techniques, such as using large chunks of cut bait or live bait from a boat, which can lead to lengthy battles, emphasizing the physical and skill demands of such an endeavor.

This is good... For the hungry men, food is ready. For those who live with generations in mind. This animal should be saved and protected from extinction.

How does the fish concern your leaders. Why blame people for your situation all the time

catching a fish with a technique they have been using before colonial times is a blessing?

Shark that was already dead.....an adult shark would upturn that dingy in seconds and they would become the hunted.

What these guys did, don't try it at home. Trust me. If you don't understand water and do not live your entire life around water, you dare not catch a live shark this way, dem no born you.
