Canoes at Ndibe Beach, on the Cross River.
Circa:1953
Ndibe Beach on the Cross-River. It is named after the village of Ndibe, but is a beach for all Afikpo, and for government use as well. Canoes on land, women peeling cassava.
"For some Afikpo, fishing is an important seasonal activity, especially in the dry season, when the river is low and it is possible for canoe crews to move about easily and to live on the numerous sandbanks which appear at the time. The Afikpo fishermen spend many months on the river, moving northeast to the border of Cameroun and as far south as the coastal city of Calabar. The Afikpo are very much a trading people. Because they are one of the few Igbo peoples actually living on the river, they are a central point in the redistribution of goods for the region." [Ottenberg S., 1971: Leadership and Authority in an African Society; the Afikpo Village-Group. University of Washington Press].
