           Nigerians are becoming more familiar and less frightened about the pandemic unlike when the first case was detected in Nigeria on 27th February, 2020. The muslims celebrate  two eids in a year; the Eidl-Adha and Eidl-Fitr  which is known to be colourful and full of joy and a source of pride to the muslims. According to the Pew Research Center, the muslim population in Nigeria is the fifth largest in the world, collating to at least 90 million citizens out of over 200 million people.
