The moon was sighted in Sokoto,Kano and Borno states

The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III, has declared Friday, July 17 as Eid el-Fitr day, putting an end to the annual Ramadan fast.


Nigerian Muslims will now join their counterparts around the world in festivities marking the end of the annual month of deprivation and spiritual rejuvenation.


With the pronouncement, Friday is now the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal 1436 AH.

In making the pronouncement, Sultan Abubakar said the new moon of Shawwal was sighted in 10 states of the federation.


The Federal Government has already declared Friday and Monday as public holidays in Nigeria.

We wish all Muslims, and indeed all Nigerians, happy celebrations.

BTW..

THE SINS OF FORMER NSA- SAMBO DASUKI:

There is a massive billion dollars corruption on defense contracts perpetuated by Sambo Dasuki under the guise of purchasing military equipment for the armed forces.

1. He purchased refurbished MI Helicopters as new for the Nigerian Airforce from Belarus at the cost of $84 million per one which the market value is $15 million, the two have already crashed and killed the pilots.

2. He purchased a substandard UAV (Drones) from China at an exorbitant rate of $260 million as against a brand new UAV which was offered to Nigeria by Elbit Systems of Israel who are the pioneers and leading UAV Manufacturers in the world at a lower cost of $16.5 million per one and the Chinese UAV crashed on its maiden flight at Mafa village in Borno State.

3. He purchased and install a Command and Control Centre in his office from an Israeli company called NICE at an exorbitant price of $80 million which the market value is put at $15 million. His office is not an Operational Agency by law as it serves only as an advisory role to the GEJ's Presidency on security and intelligence matters, so he doesn’t need a Command and Control Centre and since its installation it has never worked.

4. He had done a deal with the Chadian and Nigerien Governments to pay them cash to fight the Boko Haram on behalf of Nigeria which he collected huge amount of money and pay them peanuts.

5. The South African money for arms scandal, $9.3m and $5.7m respectively.
These are the main reasons why Sambo Dasuki was scared stiff of Buhari’s Presidency and was also forced to play the psychopathic role he played...!!! ~ @smifoyike

alhamdulilah

I have been seeing moon for the past one month.Which moon again!lolz.Anyway,eku odun o my Muslim brothers and sisters

Still sitting outside with my telescope.. I never see d moon o...na d same old moon i dey see

Still wondering its only the Sultan That declares The Fast For All Muslims in Nigeria Closed....... Or am I missing something??

so if dem no find moon, dem go de do Ramadan de go.

^^^

This moon self no dey rest

Federal government must have sighted the moon first by declaring public holiday hence the second sighting of the moon is unnecessary.
