Did you buy soup for prayer service?

In anticipation of today's Eid al-Fitr, which will be celebrated by many Muslims, Kano's main markets were packed yesterday.

Since Saturday, Kano residents have flocked to livestock markets to purchase lambs to wear as amulets, while others were occupied shopping for new apparel, footwear, and other household necessities for their families.

Many of the temporary business sections, which sell cosmetics and other jewellery for women and children, are packed due to the enormous number of customers.

The cost of tomatoes has increased, according to our correspondent Victor Christopher, who visited Yankaba Market and a few temporary shops.

Yesterday, a basket of tomatoes cost 35 thousand Naira, compared to 2,000 Naira for a bowl.

  But the cost of lambs and cattle increased from 100,000 to 250,000,000 and from 400,000,000 to 800,000,000 Naira, respectively.
