How Your Qurbani Helps in Nigeria
Nigeria: Conflict and Poverty in the North
Northern Nigeria has endured over a decade of Boko Haram and ISWAP insurgency. The northeast alone has 2.2 million internally displaced people, with over 4.4 million facing acute food insecurity. The wider Muslim-majority north has poverty rates exceeding 70%, the highest in sub-Saharan Africa.
Beyond the insurgency, northern Nigerian communities face climate-driven farmer-herder conflicts, economic marginalisation, and chronic underinvestment in health and education. For many families, meat consumption is limited to major religious occasions, and even then, rising livestock prices put Qurbani out of reach for millions.
Qurbani Operations in Nigeria
At £150 for sheep/goat and £1,000 for cow, our Nigerian operations cover Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa states in the northeast, as well as Kano, Kaduna, and Sokoto in the northwest. We purchase the indigenous Uda and Balami sheep breeds, known for their size and meat quality. Every sacrifice is performed by trained Muslim butchers.
Distribution Priorities
- IDP camp residents in Maiduguri and surrounding areas
- Communities affected by farmer-herder violence in the Middle Belt
- Almajiri children (students at traditional Quranic schools) who are among the most vulnerable
- Widows and orphans from Boko Haram attacks
Sallah (as Eid is known in northern Nigeria) is the most significant celebration of the year. Markets buzz with activity, and the sharing of meat strengthens community bonds. For families displaced by violence or impoverished by conflict, your Qurbani provides both nutrition and dignity.

Yes. Muslims In Need provides photographic feedback of your Qurbani in Nigeria. You will receive photos showing the animal before sacrifice, the slaughter process, and the meat being distributed to families. Evidence is sent via email or WhatsApp after the sacrifice. Visit our evidence page for full details.
Eid al-Adha (known locally as Tabaski in many West African countries) is one of the most important celebrations. Muslim communities gather for Eid prayers, share meals, and distribute meat to neighbours. For families living in poverty, receiving Qurbani meat is often the highlight of their year and the only time their children taste fresh meat.
We use locally sourced sheep, goats, and cows depending on availability and tradition. All animals meet minimum Islamic requirements: sheep and goats must be at least 1 year old, and cows must be at least 2 years old. Animals are inspected by our teams for health, weight, and fitness before purchase. Local sourcing supports the regional agricultural economy.
Distribution targets the most vulnerable community members: orphans and child-headed households, widows and single-parent families, the elderly without family support, displaced families fleeing conflict or climate disasters, and people with disabilities who cannot work. Our local team in each country identifies beneficiaries through community leaders and mosque networks.
