One of the greatest attractions in this year’s eid kabir (layya) celebration in Kaduna state is a ram that is selling for one million naira.

At the ram market in Waffroad (Muhammadu Buhari way) at the central Kaduna metropolis,the owner Simply identified as Adamu from Dorayi in Kano state said the price of the ram is one million naira.

“This ram you are seeing is one million naira,” he said.

The news of this ram attracted prospective buyers who rushed to have a glimpse of the ram.

In an interview, Adamu stated that the economic situation in the country contributed in no small measure to the rising cost of the rams in the market.

He said, last year he sold something like that for N500,000 to N600,000, adding that “we just brought few rams to the market because the cost of transportation has tripled compared to last year (2023).

“Everything just jumped up at once. The cost of feeding the ram is extremely expensive. The cost of looking after its health, transportation etc; so this contributed to the current pricing.

However, he said people have been pricing it for N700, 000 and N800,000 but he is only ready to sell for N950,000 .

A prospect customer, Alh Shehu Abubakar, said he priced the cow for N800,000, but the owner according to him declined the offer.

When asked why he would spend a huge amount for Ileya, he said he is also going to sell it.

“I’m willing to buy it at that amount N800,000 if he’s willing to sell to me,” he insisted. (Nigerian Tribune)
