Eid-El-Kabir 2025: Ram Sellers Lament Low Sales Amid Soaring Prices Across Nigeria
As Nigerians prepare to celebrate Eid-El-Kabir (Sallah), just one day away, many ram sellers nationwide are expressing concern over disappointing sales figures despite rising prices.
Across major markets, traders are caught in a challenging bind—while the cost of rams has skyrocketed due to inflation and supply constraints, buyers are reluctant to make purchases, leading to low patronage and mounting losses for sellers.
-
The soaring prices of rams are largely attributed to high feed costs, transportation challenges, and economic pressures.
-
Consumers, facing tightened budgets, are cutting back on traditional spending during this important festive season.
-
Some sellers have even been forced to reduce prices slightly, hoping to attract last-minute buyers.
For many Nigerian families, the ram sacrifice is a central ritual of Eid-El-Kabir, symbolizing faith and charity. The current market dynamics pose a challenge for both sellers and buyers trying to fulfill this sacred tradition.
Many ram sellers lament the situation, saying:
“Prices are higher than ever, but buyers are scarce. It’s a tough year for everyone.”
