It was a
colourful eid-el-maulud celebration for muslim faithful Monday December 12, in
parts of Agege, Lagos, south-west Nigeria.
As early as
10 am on that wonderful day, muslims gathered at a popular mosque along Oka
Akran Road in Ikeja, Lagos.
The Morcaz
mosque in Agege was a beehive of activities as muslims-the young, old, male,
female, Yorubas, Hausas were colourfully dressed.
They sang, danced,
shared love, gifts, joy, and laughter as they marched through the streets.
Celebrating
the birthday of Prophet Mohammed, (SAW) is the essence of the eid-el-maulud, Muhammed
Sanni told Vicnuel at Pen Cinema busstop in Agege.
Vehicles-private, commercial as
well as keke marwa and okada were used in conveying people while others walk-dance
their ways through the streets.
The police did a good job of
checkmating any eventualities from Oba Akran through Pen Cinema to Isokoko
areas. No casualties were officially reported.
LASTMA and AMBULANCE officials were
also spotted at strategic places along the routes where the muslim faithful
marched through in celebration of the Prophet.
