 It's a few days to eat a kabeer. One animal that is synonymous with the celebration is the ram. This year, traders are complaining of low patronage and buyers of high prices. Correspondent Ngoziqa O'Hochisi was at the Bagada Ram Market to find out what is happening. In few hours, Muslims all over the world will celebrate Idil Kabeer. Rams are an essential part of the festival and you will see a lot of them in markets around Lagos. But the turnout of buyers are lower than what ram sellers were expecting. The Secretary of the Bagada Ram Market believes it has to do with the prices. Hazan Idris says buyers are unhappy with the high prices which he blames on the economy and the security situation in northern Nigeria. The ram of 30,000 last year is now about almost 50,000 to 60,000. And people are not happy and the initiative of this festival is a festival that people want to show their happiness. But gradually, people are patronizing but compared to last year, the turnout is totally low. Idris isn't wrong. Potential buyers are complaining of high prices. Despite that, these Muslim fitful are ready to celebrate the festival. The ram is too costly. I price two 150. I price the big one 250. Two. The man lam no agree. So I'm going back to my house now. I'm not happy about it. It's too cost. The person pass in boundary, the person go weak. Also, as my hand be, I want to buy it. I am happy because of the mood of the season. But it's disappointing how rams are so highly priced. But I understand because of the insecurity in the country. Those sellers, they claimed that the ones they bought right from the places where they bought them, they are expensive before they get here. So they are to sell what they bought. So it was expensive last year also. But this year, it was quite highly expensive than that of last year. If you look around, you'll discover there's a low turnout of buyers this year compared to the previous years. And this is due to the high cost of rams in the market.
