Next week, Sept 13 2016 is Sallah, and already ram sellers are complaining of low patronage. The reason behind this may be that the prices of various sizes of rams have gone up astronomically across Nigerian states such as Abuja, Lagos, Ibadan and other parts.
Checks by newsmen revealed that the prices were higher than what the rams sold for in 2015, with a small size ram now being sold for N30,000 – N40,000 as against N17,000 it was sold last year. A big ram now costs as much as N200,000. Unbelievable!
See prices across the country below:
