Sultan calls for crescent sighting tonight as fasting season approaches

The Sultan of Sokoto called on Muslims across Nigeria to search for the Ramadan crescent tonight.

If sighted, fasting begins tomorrow, February 18. That reshapes daily life, work patterns, and family routines for the next 30 days.

While US troops expand missions and villages burn in Niger State, Ramadan reminds Nigerians of rhythms larger than politics.

Faith. Community. Discipline. Renewal.

This is how Nigerians persist: by maintaining spiritual practices even when security collapses and institutions fail.

The moon doesn't care about American soldiers or bandit attacks. It rises and sets on its own schedule, calling believers to something beyond the crisis.
