The long waited festival is here, and we all can see what is going on in the community at large, in my area here people are dancing with DJ'S PLAYING music, and people are enjoying it.

Have you see how they kill cow ' guess I have seen it now, hahahah people are buying cows of different sizes to celebrate the festival, a family of 2 can contribute money together and celebrate the festival.

Mostly rams are killed, this white animal with a big horn, mostly used as fighting animals, they are call ram, I think it has a significant in today's festival, however the Muslims can say more about it, and they are happy about the festival.

This festival comes only 1 time in a year and mostly every year my neighbours will buy big cow and we will eat together

'How do they celebrate this festival'

They do it in different ways. First of all they will go to mosques in the morning and pray to God, whereas before that day you will have seen people buying ram, goats, and cow to celebrate this festival, you will have see people buying pepper, and grinding it down to cook some delicious meal for the family.

The part I do enjoy mostly is the part, the later part that comes in the evening that deals with people coming together to celebrate, they will order musicians host, them and drink together, in my side here they will host a party this evening.......

They will call thier selves together from different places, place a wooden box in the front so that, when the musicians come they will stand on it to sing, and everybody will be able to see them.

In my area here they are requesting for, many popular musicians, examples of them are

• Cdq

• Dbanj

• Yemi ( a local musician but popular within the community)

• Simi

• Waje

And many more they will come turn by turn and entertain us, from stage. U really love this part.

The ram and cow 🐄

The ram and cow are very important for this festival because they are the ones that makes the festival so interesting, because people will want to eat meat

' the ram '

They will kill them blow them and draw the hair on thier skin and people will gather around and see how the process is done, mostly the inside of the ram are used for ' pepper soup' what a sweet soup. And the remaining part will be used as soup so they eat it with swallow ( eba, semi, iyan and many more ) or eat with white rice, or put put on top jollof rice

The cow'

Same process of How the ram is processed, Is just that it has more meat that that of the ram so people will be able to eat and eat till they are tired of meet.
