With the challenges we face in Nigeria today, I see an opportunity for us not to break up or break down, but to break open; open up to ourselves in truth so that we may appreciate each other, understand each other, honor each other and live together in peace and prosperity.”
Muslims are required to celebrate this event by sacrificing an animal (Ram) which will further cement the sacrifice made by the Prophet Ibrahim.
