The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs under the leadership of its President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has urged Muslims across the country to look out for the new moon of Shawwal on Saturday.
As the 1443 Hijra (2022) Ramadan draws to an end, the Director of Administration of the NSCIA, Arc. Zubairu Haruna Usman-Ugwu, said this in a statement issued on behalf of the Sultan on Friday.

He said consequent upon the advice of the National Moon Sighting Committee, the Sultan enjoined the Nigerian Muslim Ummah to search for the crescent of Shawwal 1443 AH immediately after sunset on Saturday, April 30, 2022, which is equivalent to 29th Ramadan, 1443 AH.

“If the crescent is sighted by Muslims of impeccable character, then His Eminence (Sultan) would declare Sunday, May 1, 2022, as the 1st of Shawwal and the day of ‘Idul Fitr. However, if the crescent is not sighted that day, then Monday, May 2, 2022, automatically becomes the day of ‘Idul Fitr.

“In addition to the established and traditional Islamic leaders in each locality, members of the NMSC can be contacted to report credible and positive sighting of the Crescent of Shawwal 1443 AH,” Usman-Ugwu said.
He also urged Muslims to in the spirit of Ramadan, remember that Zakatul Fitr (special Ramadan charity) is a compulsory food-levy imposed on privileged Muslims, to be given to the less privileged in the society.
He, therefore, urged all concerned to ensure that they do not only comply but comply on time.

He said, “The general practice is to give out the standard measurement to beneficiaries in the last two days of Ramadan and not later than before the eid prayer.”

Sultan Abubakar, who felicitated the Nigerian Muslim ‘Ummah and indeed the entire Muslim worldwide, on the auspicious occasion of the 1443 AH ‘Idul Fitr, prayed Allah to grant every one the opportunity to witness many more of it.

He also expressed concern about the skyrocketing prices of food and consumables in the country and appealed to the government to stem the tide of inflation while urging traders, too, to desist from the habit of arbitrarily increasing the price of food items.

Yoruba Muslim stay clear... grin grin cheesy

Moon hunting is not for you until you are capable

TheNiceGuy:
To shut out any forms of IGNORAMUSES, Muslims black or fair, of Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Nupe, Itsekiro origin etcetera are obliged to sight the new moon.

The formal declaration will only come from The Leader of Muslim in Nigeria, his eminence sultan of Sokoto.

Also formal declaration comes from Imam of different states, districts and villages.
That's Islam

It's a very big taboo for Yoruba Muslim to sight the moon, be an Imam in a mosque that's is populated by Fulanis and Hausas, but Hausa and Fulani can be an Imam in a mosque that's filled with only Yorubas.

The northerners sees Yoruba Muslims as infidel , fake Muslims, they can never attend Jumat prayer that is conducted by a Yoruba Muslim. But for once loud mouthed Muric and other Yoruba Muslim miscreants have not condemned this religious injustice and marginalization that the northerners are subjecting them to.

Untill Yoruba Muslim miscreants came to consciousness and revolt against this injustice, they will still be slaves to the northerners.
