160 - 197 what was black market rates around December last year? And who told you it's even black market rates they are using its central bank rate which is around 295

not that it is good, but if it's not done it will create other problems, now assuming baba did not do it for Christians last year what do you think the opposition would say, it's all in an effort to balance things out. Moreover I'm very sure without an iota of doubt you won't complain if it were for Christians again, you should stop being ridiculous also

some of you people have head but no brain. When Buari approved 11m dollars for christian pilgrimage who among you condemn the act. He approved to subsidise it at the rate of 160 to dollar. You can check vanguard newspapers and the nation newspapers of 14 julu,2015. Your greatest problem is to condemn anything you see about islam. Why can't you condemn it when it was approved for Christians. Either you like or not islam is a blessed religion from Almighty Allah(God)

You should understand that there are different ways to support a person and still maintain your integrity and personal respect. The last thing I would do is to support nonsense (e.g. this hajj bonanza) even if it is my biological father involved. Although if my father errs, I don't necessarily have to come out and abuse him in public (like the hordes of enemies and haters want me to); there is something called 'maintaining an honorable silence' when you are disappointed by an action of your person.

Once again, the last thing I would do is to come out publicly to defend rubbish; I can't say so much for the multitude of losers who jump out everyday ridiculously defending corrupt nincompoops all because of tribal or ethnic or regional or partisan sentiments.

This isn't an ancestral matter, this is just a case of self inflicted trauma. Even Jonathan and PDP that lost the election have since moved on. But some die-hard supporters just want to kill themselves over nothing; now they keep losing their minds everyday.

This policy has been in existence since only when God knows, FG subsidize dollar rate for the yearly pilgrimage. If i dont know any, am still very sure for last year that it was sold at N160 to $1 for 2015 pilgrimage when the official rate was N197 to $1. This was for both muslim and Christian pilgrims of 2015.

More reason why there is a ceiling to how much individuals can buy and banks are expected to make returns to CBN after sales.

We must not turn everything to politics rather what we should be clamouring for is government removing her hand from religious activities. If you want to go for your religious activities, its your problem and you should be able to fund the cost rather than using tax payers money that will be useful somewhere else for some certain religious activities that will only benefit little

The satisfaction of a people is a function of their values. Amongst peace loving Nigeria are those who perform holy pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Mecca. Nigerian government deem it fit to subsidize exchange rate to ease their traveling for what they believe.
You have been so engrossed with hatred for anything associating with Islam, but you forget muslims are part of Nigeria. There is no part of Nigeria they are not active. They are also tax payers. Please check your blood pressure and stop calling for Buhari's head. Respect others right.

Do not fall for that shit. Last year exchange rate was less than 190 then but today it is close to 400 did you see the difference.

The bottom line is there is no justification for subsiding religious jamboree while students are being forced to buy dollars at parallel market rate.

Am sure CBN is not subsidising only but also hulding dollar, that is why exchange rate has increase to #400 per dollar

Dollar is N197 officially since last year.

The same Hajj they went to and came back with read bodies that suffered stampede. They are helping them to subsidise their death. Maybe it will be bomb this time or mass shooting. Almajiri president, well done. Your cup go soon full.

Buhari is uselessly useless
