As Nigerians prepare for the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, residents of Epe in Lagos State are lamenting the high cost of livestock. Eid el Kabir is a Muslim observance tentatively slated for June 17 in the calendar.
It is meant to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to Allah’s command. A check by NAN on Thursday shows that while livestock sellers are decrying low patronage, customers, on the other hand, say the cost of livestock is exorbitant. Though the livestock are available at the popular ram markets at Oke-Oyinbo and T-Junction in Epe, respectively, sellers are complaining of low patronage.
“I pray something urgent can be done to regulate the prices of livestock in the market,” he said. Mrs Yemisi Taiwo, a buyer, expressed her disappointment at the high price of rams at Oke-Oyinbo livestock market, saying that the market had been highly recommended to her because of its relatively cheap prices. “A friend of mine recommended this market to me that livestock are relatively cheaper here but on getting here, it is another ball game entirely.
