Eid ul Fitr is
celebrated the 1st day of the following month
Shawwal. This celebration was called by the
Muslims the small celebration in comparison with
the big celebration with the sheep. Eid ul Fitr is also
an occasion for all the members of the families to
meet each others and prepare some traditional
dishes.
This year, the end of Ramadan 2015/1436 will be
on the 18 July 2015 incha’Allah (More or less one
day, depending of the country where do you live).

And thereby making this year fasting very much complete. The public holiday should be Monday and Tuesday respectively.
please let's know any other info you might have.
I greet all Muslim brothers and sister. Ramadan Kareem

Brother,
you can't categorically state that Eid-il-fitr is on the 18th as it solely depends on the sighting of the moon and remember Shaban completed 30 so it's possible that this year Ramadan is 29.
Allahu Allam.

Ok! following

Even before the current outrage triggered by some Muslims questioning the Islamic propriety of Muhammadu Buhari shaking hands with a female non-relative in public, I have always maintained that the president-elect's overzealous and fanatical Muslim supporters are as responsible for the myth of him as a religious fundamentalist as his detractors. Some of his Muslim supporters have always projected their own religious anxieties onto him, anointing him Jagoran Musulunci (defender/champion of Islam) even without Buhari declaring himself so. From then on, they believed him to be who they proclaimed him to be despite evidence to the contrary, and are now expecting him to fulfil the religious fantasies they falsely believed he embodied. It was this determined effort to define, own, and police Buhari's image as a reclusive Muslim fundamentalist that provided fodder to his detractors, mostly Christians, who latched on to the way some of Buhari's supporters portrayed him to caricature the man as a fanatic. Paradoxically, then, both his fanatical supporters and fanatical detractors reinforced one another and bolstered the narrative that Buhari was a Muslim extremist. In truth, Buhari has always been a typical Fulani or Hausa Muslim, devout but not fanatical. Moreover, he was a soldier. As someone who has lived in an army barracks, I can say without equivocation that you cannot be a soldier, live in the barracks, or command soldiers and harbor intolerance towards people of other religions or insist on a fundamentalist religious ethos. A fanatical Buhari would never have survived the debauched environment of the army, where drunkenness, prostitution, fornication, and other vices condemned by both Islam and Christianity are practiced openly by officers and other ranks. It takes a remarkable capacity for religious tolerance to thrive in the army. In fact, I always say that the army is an incubator of religious tolerance, that, unless things have changed, it is probably the most effective institutional teacher of tolerance in Nigeria. None of the Muslims that I knew in the barracks hated their fellow soldiers or condemned them for eating pork, drinking alcohol, or committing other harams, let alone berate fellow Muslims for drinking, womanizing, or frolicking with women. The president-elect's former handlers did the man a disservice through several election cycles. Instead of challenging the parochial religious constructions of the man by some of his more fanatical followers in the North, they embraced the falsely packaged image and sought to sell him to the rest of the country in that garb. Whether out of loyalty or deference to his team or political naivety, Buhari didn't do much to challenge his handlers on this, and in fact mistakenly played the script they had prepared for him a few times, compounding and confirming the image for those already primed to believe the myth, and giving more ammo to both his detractors and fanatical supporters to continue to cast him in the mold in which they preferred to see him. I have it on good authority that it took the intervention of people like Nasir el-Rufai to unleash the real Buhari, to free him from the parochial religious pigeonhole his handlers and fanatical supporters had put him in. When the real Buhari emerged, he was refreshing to behold, a far cry from the image cultivated among his loud, fanatical supporters; he belied the caricature. Although it would have been perfectly acceptable if his well known incorruptibility was grounded in his faith, when the liberated Buhari talked about corruption and other ethical issues, he rarely referenced a religious moral canon or prescription. What's more, unleashed publicly as part of his political campaign for the first time, his wife, Aisha, did not look like the wife of a Muslim fanatic. She was urbane, approachable, easygoing, and relatable to people of all religions and ethnicities. Buhari's new handlers also unveiled his well educated daughter, who also did not fit the caricature advanced by those who believed or expected Buhari to be the kind of Muslim they had imagined him to be, either out of religious affection or sheer hatred. These were game-changing decisions that liberated Buhari from those who had, in their zeal to define him, put him in an awkward Hausa-Fulani Muslim box and expected him to play the script and fulfil all their unorthodox Muslim expectations. As a historian, I believe that when the story of Buhari's ascent to the presidency is fully written, his wife Aisha and daughter Zahra will or should feature prominently as those who changed the reputational narrative and image of Buhari. Along with Buhari's own social engagements in Southern Nigerian, Christian circles and his willingness to be seen in places, occasions, and sartorial garbs that his fanatical Muslim supporters would disapprove, the decision to show his family as they truly are and damn the grumbling of Muslim extremists in the North solidified his appeal and made the hate campaign against him ineffective. It really should not have been that way. His former handlers and the fanatical Muslim supporters now accusing him of breaking an Islamic code of conduct should simply have seen the old, widely circulating family photograph from Buhari's army days, a photograph that, quite frankly, looks like that of a very secular Muslim or Christian family. Had his former handlers stuck to the image projected in the photo and allowed Buhari to be himself, we would not be having this discussion about forbidden handshakes because his present Muslim critics would have known long ago that the man does not fit their warped, narrow image of a good Muslim man or of a defender of Islam. If the real Buhari had been allowed to authentically flourish perhaps he might even have won the presidency sooner.

Wow! Al iz well!!!!!

When Jonathan didn't include anybody in the South West in either of the top offices what happened?
Now you clamouring for Senate President, You guys are on your own!

Already at my polling booth. Sai Buhari

At this point in time, Nigeria needs us

Like the lame man in the Bible asking Peter for help
We've also got neither silver nor Gold but we have something we can use to bring this great country of ours back to her feet

And for Verily, if as a Nigerian youth, we never benefited anything from our government
As a Nigerian, we ain't proud of our country,

As a citizen, our government could not protect our lives and properties

As a Nigerian, our brothers and sisters keep dying up north and our government could do nothing about it for 6 years till 6weeks before election ,

If as a Nigerian, our businesses could not strive internationally as our currency has been devalued

And just to mention but a few

Then we should know that we need change!

For failure of the good to speak means being ruled by the fools

It's time to speak through our votes

It's time to bring Nigeria back on her feet It's time!
