Today is a Sallah holiday in Nigeria. What i like most about it is that i don't have to work for two days! Hehe. I can laze at home and do everything and nothing, and not have to do any work associated with celebrations. There's nothing as sweet as free Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Even yesterday was a lazy day as most Muslims were traveling from the capital to their home towns.
Today will be characterized by Muslim parties and gatherings, prayers, lots of food- especially Ram Meat, and of course, pilgrimage to Mecca. The streets are more empty than usual, and this will probably last till Friday. Muslims are sure to deliver bowls of fried ram meat to their neighbours (both Christians and Muslims, me included :D), and stores are giving Sallah discounts.
So, to my Muslim neighbours and friends - Barka Da Sallah
