Tolexander:
Please declare friday too and let's just have the whole of this week for holiday!

Here in Abba, we haven't gone to work this month.

Ojo Madueke + Eid el fitri

@Tolexander
I support you they should declare Friday too.

Having being an ardent supporter of buhari, I hereby would have to conclude this is a bad omen for his government. Even moon dey hide! Buhari, baba one chance!!!! The moon would only appear in the north and if it fails to appear, we would deploy drones to track and destroy the moon's enclave. The moon must show!

The confusion continues.

It took them 7 months to appoint ministers, one year to write budget, and now, one week to determine their Eid-il-Fitr holiday.

Buhari is a confused mumu

Lunar tables are as accurate as ever and can be gotten from the free access public domain from sites like NASA.

Useles follow follow almajiris who do not even know their religion

...and here you are thinking you've conjured a beautiful writeup just to showcase your ignorance.
Firstly, Who do you think the lunar calendar belongs to, Christians? Kindly help your ignorance and do some research on the source of the names of each month.
Secondly, does your so-called peaceful religion teaches you to address other religions by being abuse? I'd rather be an atheist than to join that kind of religion.
Thirdly. It's a thing of pride, to count our days in accordance with the celestial body as we're being ordered to, than to merely guess and put up some assumed month.
And pls, are you sure Jesus christ was even born on the 25th of December? Cos most Christians even reject that claim. I pray may you be rightly guided out of your conspicuous midguidance

You do realize what waiting for moon means, don't you, you dull creature? It means if the moon doesn't come up you guys will fast forever.

It means that is a dogmatic fallacy.

It means Mohammedans worship to the cycles of the Moon.

Of course you can't see what's wrong in that, from a religion that claims there is one god and to worship it. After all, you're too brainwashed to think beyond the little square you've been chasing your tail about in.

Now, get lost.

Seriously if you don't know something then please don't act like you do. You are totally wrong. The moon can be sighted on the 29th or 30th. If it's not sighted on the 29th then fasting stops automatically on the 30th. All Muslims know this. I don't expect you to know it. But please don't act like you do. Because you got no idea at all.

Counting days by the moon now means worshipping the cycles of the moon abi. Have you ever wondered how days and time were measured before the invention of the gregorian calendar in 1852? Google is your friend my friend. osquare88 you dey feel me?

Now that you've explained the lunar cycle to us, as though we haven't had astronomy classes before, and geography classes, can you get to the part where Mohammedans use the moon to worship? Is the moon part of the religion or not?

Do not presume to teach me anything new about the moon. There's nothing about it that you can teach me. Unlike you, Google did not teach me things I know. If you want to be credible, give me references with pages.

You claimed they worship the moon. So you are the one to explain how they worship the moon to us. Because I definitely don't worship the moon. Because I don't get how using the moon to signify the start of a new month means worshiping it.

3 days is too much, honestly. It gets boring and it comes between my other plans. I had wanted so badly to get some info on thursday so i can travel on Friday, it's suddenly torpedoed.

Not finding this funny. These guys should get their acts right. These moons and all are clearly stated in international diaries and could be googled.

Anyway how your end?

Come make i buy you beer....after the fasting grin

Thanks for the offer bro and my side is ok. Needed some rest anyway so the extended holiday is timely though laughable. The week is as good as gone...

i am a christian and i dont see why you should point accusing finger at buhari for the non-sighting of the moon.please let us try and seperate governance from religion.thanks

The issue here isn't the sighting or not of the moon. The issue is, this government is clearly directionless. In all the 56yrs of our nationhood, I doubt if any government has ever declared a 3 working days public holiday before. Our biggest holiday if we are truly a secular nation should be October 1st. If Oct 1st is usually a one working day holiday, I see no reason why any religious holiday should be for 2 days, talkless 3 whole days.
Moon wasn't sighted yesterday, agreed. Wednesday 6th July is now Sallah. Why can't we just return to work on Thursday, a day after Sallah? It's in little stuffs like this we begin to truly see that this government doesn't know what to do to turn the economy of this nation around.
