Every week, we’ll post a selection of photographs on Nigeria and Nigerian life. Today, we’re featuring images from the Borgu Kingdom.

Each year, the Emir of the Borgu Kingdom hosts a celebration to mark the end of the month-long Muslim fasting period, Ramadan. The Borgu Kingdom is in Niger State, North Central Nigeria. It is also home to the hydroelectric power plant, Kainji Dam. Bukkie Opebiyi, shares some images from her 2005 visit. More Nigeria in Photos.
