Nigerian Holidays by nalijah07(f): 5:06pm On Jul 07, 2008 |
We just celebrated fourth of July here in the states. I would like to know what the major holidays (besides Christmas and New Years) are in Nigeria, and how they are celebrated. |

October 1st - independence day May 1st - Workers day May 27th(i think) - Childrens day 3 muslim holidays, (5 days) - the dates depend on the muslim calendar/moon sitings, end of Ramadan(2 days), end of Hajj(i think)2 days, Their prophets B-day(1 day). Easter holidays- good friday and Easter monday |

Hero: Yes, just like your people celebrate baby mama / jailed black men day every day! No, Nigeria has no independence day. The Queen of England is our president and we are not an independent country but rather a subsidiary of Britain. Stupid ignorant goat! |
