Your point is noted. However read your initial comment and see if same advice should not be applied to you?
You were condescending in your choice of words as you lumped thoses of us who were aware of the differential and referring to that and those who assumed envelopes were being given out.

Apologies if I came across that way.

FG is not sponsoring anybody on pilgrimage. The CBN is just making $11m available for them to buy as PTA at a subsidized rate of NGN160 to a dollar.

am not surprised, majority of people who don't believe in the supremacy of a supernatural being are yoruba. Christianity is not a religion but a way of life.

I it is a way of life, then it's culture.

And by the way, why if u dey fill form and dem ask for ur religion u go put christianity. Make all una dey mumu una selves

Why is that everyone on the front page is an illiterate. Yes Illiterate.

$11million dollars is not coming out og the governments pocket but the pockets of the individuals travelling. Only that they have the opportunity to buy up to a total of $11million dollars at N160 each at $1000 maximum per person.

So no one on the front page is educated enough to read and comprehend. No wonder they say our graduates are half baked.
I have a lot to say but I'm not gonna be verbose on this issue.
Oh yes, the #160 is a subsidized rate which the government will have to bear.
Please read well again and get a dictionary to check the meaning of 'subsidy'.... Or ask an economist the meaning of ' subsidized rate'.
Mr Literate grin grin grin

Yes I know quite alright that it is subsidy Mr Illiterate.

So is N36 on each dollar the same thing as $11million?

If he does you shout if he doesn't you shout.

State sponsored pilgrimage = misplaced priority/insanity.

When will business men and students too be able to get cheaper dollar -- that's more productive!

Paying full and paying a certain percentage is still same.. Why even bother doing that so what happens to those that didn't go for the pilgrimage and are either Muslims or Christian ?, those that are neither Muslims nor Christian?, those that can't even afford to have 2 square meals?... How would they get their #34 cause they are also tax payers and Nigerian.

For someone to say he/she wants to go to the Holy Land you must be fully capable and able to take care of yourself in all areas..
We can't always be wasting money on things like this. All the people that have been sponsored over the years what have they done?

You people should not just read topic without reading it's content. The government is not sponsoring, the government is just aiding people going by selling dollar to them at a reduced price. Please read before jumping to conclusion. Highbro tech

Hope you will not start comparing what Jonathan spent. This act of Government sponsoring pilgrimage should be rejected and the money use for better pressing needs
