Festivals in Nigeria

There are so many festivals in Nigeria, that there are only a few I can easily remember such as the Agugu Fishing festival in the northern part of nigeria which is an annual fishing competition. And the Osun Oshogbo festival in Osun state in the south western part of the country.There is also this other festival in Igboland which Ndigbo call "Iriji". It is among Ndigbo of Eastern Nigeria. It is done annually, to tahnk the god of yam for making it possible for the people to see another harvest year. It is called New yam festival among Ndigbo.
