Poor Economy Affects Preparations for Sallah in Kwara
Muslims in Kwara State may not find the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir quite colourful as it used to be because of the state of the economy.
Checks in Ilorin, the state capital, showed an unusual lull as against what used to be the case in the past.
There were no serious buying and selling activities in the major markets visited neither was there the presence of ram sellers.
In some locations where rams were offered for sale, the prices have soared beyond the rich of average workers who have not been paid last month's salaries.
Also, ram merchants, who usually make trips to the far North and even Niger Republic to import rams, are unable to make such trips this year owing to lack of money, according to findings.
The story is not different with the political hangers-on who naturally look on to politicians to give them rams and cash for the festivity as the politicians too are not finding it easy.
Some politicians bluntly told their supporters that it is not going to be business as usual this year because of the economic crunch.
