” To quickly answer your question ,you are all aware that we just ended Eid Adha celebration three days ago.And you know that in this part of the world, Nigeria, we are religiously enclianed people and part of the motivation in the course of the celebration is that usually children are allowed to roam around on the street ” in hausa it is called yawon Sallah”
