Thursday(25/10/2012) Is Arafat Day & Eid Al Adha Will Start On Friday(26/10/2012 by siddiq202(m): 12:43pm On Oct 17, 2012
A Saudi government committee meeting on Monday night for moon-sighting announced that Thursday is Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha will start on Friday after it could not sight the moon.

Since the moon was not sighted, Tuesday is the last day of the Islamic month of Dhul Qidah and Wednesday will be the first day of Dhul Hijjah month.

“There was no evidence the moon was sighted…hence Thursday is Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha will start on Friday,” Sabq newspaper said, quoting committee sources.
In Egypt, newspapers reported that Al Azhar Mosque, the country’s top Islamic authority, announced that Eid would start on Friday.

I don't think the moon was sighted here in Nigeria either.
I am using this opportunity to wish my fellow Muslims happy Eid Al Adha in advance
