Ileya celebration is one Nigerians and Muslims at large always looking forward to. The Yorubas from Nigeria refer to this festival as “Ileya” in their local language.

Eid-el-Adha begins on the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar. The festival lasts for three days and occurs at the conclusion of the annual Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca.

Muslims all over the world celebrate Eid al-Adha, not simply those undertaking the hajj, which for most Muslims is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.

The significance of the Eid-el-Adha festival is to commemorate Prophet Abraham’s willingness to obey God when he was asked to sacrifice his only son.

To honour this great act of sacrifice, Muslims observe this day by slaughtering an animal (usually a sheep) and then offering much of its meat in charity to poor people.

The sacrifice symbolizes obedience to Allah, and its distribution to others is an expression of generosity, one of the five pillars of Islam.

Over the years, rams, goats, and sheep have always been in high demand in markets during the Ileya season for households and Islam faithfuls for charity.

Ileya As Usual?
However, the Ileya celebration this year may not be business as usual as Nigeria’s economic woes are casting a shadow on the upcoming Eid al-Adha celebrations.

High inflation, weak currency, and rising living costs are making it tough for people to afford the animals traditionally sacrificed during this important Islamic holiday.

In addition, this economic strain affects not only purchasing power but also charitable activities associated with Eid al-Adha.

This captivating love story stars Aisha Lawal as Eriola and boasts an all-star cast, including Deyemi Okanlawon, Femi Adebayo, and many more.

But did it meet expectations?

iBrand's POV crew shared their honest opinions—and you might be surprised!

Crossroads Cinematography: A Vintage Feel
Ayo Famurewa praised the cinematography for its vintage feel, perfectly capturing the 80s and 90s lifestyle. However, Jude Onowu wanted more from the camera movements.

Art Direction: A Tasty Throwback
The crew loved the apt choice of location, sets, and props, perfectly reflecting the fashion and lifestyle of the 80s.

Every piece of furniture and prop was classic, with no loopholes in sight! Makeup and costumes didn’t cut it for Jude; he expected more from Hakeem Effects, who was in charge.

Ayo had diverse thoughts; he felt the costumes reflected the fashion style in the 80s and 90s. He also commended the transformational looks in the movie.

Crossroads Storyline: A Predictable Love Story
However, the crew was disappointed with the scripting, finding it too predictable and lacking in sequencing.

What is this again? Nigerians and cruise sha. Chai!

Which business will someone start in Nigeria of today with 50k. Better be realistic. Dont discourage the guy. No knowledge is lost. He is still very young. Even if he does not make a head way sourcing solar installation gigs, he can still get a job with the skills he has acquired from the training in a solar company. The guy is making a good move. It's not everyone that has the DIY mindset most people will just want to pay a technician for the installation except broke or greedy people

ceaser:
You don't need to do that.



You have already answered the question here. DIY is the way. Becoming a big time installer is not what you can learn in 6 months, it requires longer time, experience and interacting with experienced installers. You can learn basic knowledge about solar without spending so much. Resources abound online. Here is a link on NL to pick up bits and pieces about solar. It may take sometime to get the most of the knowledge you require, but it's better that way.
