For more than 70 million Muslims living in Nigeria, the end of the holy month of Ramadan is an opportunity to celebrate their culture and traditions.

The result is a spectacular and colourful festival, as Yvonne Ndege found out in the northern state of Kano.

    Arab and European were only two evil people on face of earth that enforce their way of life on fellow humanbeing. How can you distroyed value, culture mind on other human just because of egocentric and greedy. Why God accept Islam, Christianity. and refused other people ways of life. That is abosolute Lie. Go and what this two major religion have done to our continent and people. The continent where everything began have now leave in confusing. Because of mind that poluted.

    Aljood, The …
    Aljood, The grievous crimes of Europeans, past and present, in Africa, had been and still are utterly condemnable. Equally the crimes of Arabs, Islamist Jihadists and their kind. European violations of Africa does not excuse Arabs’ and Islamic crimes of Jihad(violence against the innocent). It does not excuse the violation of fundamental human rights. We all have ways of lives that there justifications are, rightly, challenged daily. It is about human conscience; RIGHT and WRONG of Issues.

    aljood1981, Islam …
    aljood1981, Islam remains a religion that spread by violence and intolerance. It spread through the massacre of many for being non-believers. Mohammed fought 48 wars and only one was defensive; married an eight year old girl. This is an abomination! Advocate the division of Nigeria so you can practice it on your own. The effects of Sharia is also seen in the effects of Hausa-fulani oligarchy in Nigeria — utterly destructive and disastrous in 48 years. All elections and census rigged.

    Under Sharia Law, …
    Under Sharia Law, Islamic religion, government and Law are one. Islam does not accept a secular constitution which requires the separation of state and religion (meaning one should not run the other) unlike Judaism and Christianity. Religion: Is it by Force or by Choice?

    Madina55, I have the opposite opinion, I think that religion should be abandoned, there is too much conflict that is the result of religion. Throughout the world and history its been quite destructive. I think that religion is an outdated philosophy that just meddles with our lives.

    I love the part where dan masani comments “although we are not been able to produce atomic bombs or to manufacture planes, cars…we have contributed tremendously in the movement of art and taught n civilisation generally”
    A mans culture is his identity anywhere he goes, iinrespective of race or color, n i feel proud to say this is a part of my culture

    @ jabzulani. That is not a foreign religion. It is for every humanbeing on earth. And yes culture is good, but cultures that conflict with your religion isn’t. It just keeps a person confused and on the path of doing innovation, and ignorance. Let’s see on the day of judgement how these so called cultures would help people. Nothing wrong with culture, but some parts of cultures need to be abandonned for sure.
