In Kakuri, Sabon-Tasha, Angwar Tarke, Nassarawa, Kasuwan visited by our correspondent, many residents were seen roasting and cooking their chickens and goats.<\/p>\n

Although some residents had earlier expressed worry over the cost of food items, meat and condiments in the market ahead of Christmas, they are, however, spending the much-needed funds to make merry during the season.<\/p>\n

A resident, Dr. Samuel Adoyi who works with St. Gerald hospital, Kaduna said, \u201d Christmas is once in a year. I must celebrate and make provision, no matter the cost of foodstuff and meat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Juliet Obonyilo, a market woman in Sabon Tasha, said Christmas is not a do-or-die celebration and that she would celebrate if she has the purchasing power.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can not because of Christmas borrow money and I cannot pay. I cannot because of Christmas steal food or meat. I will only do things according to my reach.\u201d She said.<\/p>\n
